Rear seat delete project
It will be a nice addition, fiqured I would get it setup, before the roll bar goes in.
UPS had some fun w/ it so, I will need to do some work. I plan to try to adapt it a little more to the car, since there are some gaps.
I plan to redo the carpet with the same interior carpet I took out of my track project.
Anyway I will post progress.

I've started doing the same project. I've got to work out how to bolt the cubby in, as both my Rennline bar and the cubby share the same mount points. I think I need to fab some custom brackets.
The cubbies are a nice addition to the car, because it gives a place to store small valuables out of sight. (my car has no door pockets and there hasn't been a back seat or hatch cover in it for years)

Finished the fiberglass. Seeing as I really had never done it, had no real supplies, did not feel like going 30 miles to find the materials a friend reccomended, It did not turn out too bad.
I rushed it adding more hardner, because it was sooo hot out, and I fiqured it was going under carpet anyway.
I will post again when I install. Need to install rollbar first.

From the one picture, it doesn't look like you have the box sitting the correct position. On the 944/951, it needs to come forward a bit, and it drops down on the hump a lot better. The doors end up with about a 25mm overhang. The metal brackets need to be tweaked a little to get them to line up correctly.
If you want the doors to sit flush with the carpeted areas below it, you will have to trim some of the wood on the underside where it meets the hump. The only issue with that is the rear corners are a little too wide to fit down and it will tilt instead of sit level. Since you're modifying most of that anyway, it probably won't be hard to correct.
This is mine too far back:
With it pushed back like that, here's where it's too wide to push down:
Only thing I did here was slide it forward about 25mm:
Here's how I finished mine:

Yeah, I just threw it in there to show basically what was added, so the position may be off. Also with the door and center trim piece off, it looks furthur back. I wanted to have the carpet on the storgae compartment closer to the quarter panels to fill in the gap. But if I had the same carpet color, I would definately not gone through the trouble.

These are stock pieces in the 944S2 and 968 cabriolet.
I bought mine from Ok Foregin. I think they have one more.

I had thown in for a pic as well. When I did the fiberglass, I had the unit bolted in place which showed a small gap at the tunnel where the carpet started. I was planning to place carpet under it. But if it does not look good I will move it forward.
Thanks for the heads up.
