Homemade parcel shelf

[Padwah]

Wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or stick it on my old one but anyway, thought you guys might like to take a look at the under dash parcel shelf that my Dad made for the van. We were supposed to be working on it together but whilst I was at the Isle of Wight festival he was tinkering in my van again and knocked this up.

It uses two of the bolts for the fresh air boxes, I think that's what they are, at the front and we (he) made two brackets that attach under the dashboard but it did require the drilling of one hole to add a bit of support around the split for the hand brake.

Going to be fitting some speakers in to it later in the week so I'll add some more photos once it's finished

looks spot on, looks like he did a good job of sticking to teh contours of the van.

Yeah, he got through our whole collection of hardboard! TBH he's done a blinding job, far better than I think I could have done.

Looks like a nice neat job!

Might just have motived me to build a shelf for mine rather than buy one!

Nearly finished this now. I've wired in the stereo and fitted the speakers and crossovers to the parcel shelf and I've fitted the tweeters in to the fresh air vents mounted in a hardboard base plate covered with black vinyl. Unfortunately it's not the best matching vinyl so it does stick out against the dashboard but it looks far better than when I sprayed it gloss black!

Great job!!

Sometimes homemade is better than anything you can buy!!
