Looks clean. But if I could make a minor suggestion. Plywood over using the foam. You still want a useable space. Even if it means cutting the plywood into 2 or 3 sections for fitting. You can also beef up the plywood by nailing or screwing in some 1x3 to the underside as a kind of built in sub frame. Little extra cost over this build but not by much. And you don't have to worry about glue eating through the foam. So you could use fabric adhesive to help your material of choice adhere better.
Im about to get my Fiesta at the end of the year and im so excited, especially because of you. Im showing your videos to everybody telling them thats what I want my Fiesta to be like. Your channel is very underrated keep up the good work, greetz from germany
Great video and clean setup! How loud is the cabin of the car? Ran my FiST without the rear seats for a lit bit, put them back in because it got too loud on longer drives lol.
@@RoyalyDrunk I would suggest putting sound deadening on the bottom since you have everything out. I'm thinking I might do this, but use a stronger material (wood) then foam to support more weight as idk how much weight the foam would support.
@@TheMainMan318 I've already put the rear seats back in, just until I can come up with a plan for the noise. I think if you did the a thin sheet of plywood along with the foam you would get the rigidity for weight and the foam to help dampen the noise.
@@RoyalyDrunk yeah that's a good idea. There are a few posts on the forums about sound deadening and the best places to put it. Since the seat bottom is so easy to take out I'll probably start there and the rear trunk area. One of my biggest complaints is just how much road noise I hear with the FiST
if he changes his mind, he could easily add 1/5 luan on it and re-carpet it. Light, but strong. (that would have been a great way to future-proof it, but It's not like he's going to carry 50lb bags of river wash or quickcrete. I was thinking to make one similar, but w/luan over thinner foam and then hinge it where the cargo meets the seat bottom. That allows loading taller items through the door, side to side. Plus getting it into the car w/o breaking the wings. I've already put butyl sound mat in the whole back area and down to the rear floor. I'll add ensolite closed when I do the deck lid, but it is behind the plastics already.
Funny you said that. I just recently took my false floor out and its crazy the difference it makes in sound. Without the back seats its definitely a little more cabin noise but the Styrofoam false floor absorbs a ton of noise. So without the false floor, its so much more road noise with just the back seats out
Just a thought. If you used steel, it would be more rigid, plus it would lower the car several inches while keeping the original suspension (for a while). Honestly, I like this idea, except as SOON as I did it, I'd need the back seat in. Looks great, though!
Think you could have done a better job of this if i'm honest. Why use the foam when you could have done the same thing in ply or chip board? looks nice and the video was good but i would have used something else.
@@billyfinnegan9265 it is but it's not strong, it wouldn't have added so much weight to have used plywood or something else. If he was really serious about being light weight he could have put fiberglass over the foam.
@@billyfinnegan9265 for aesthetics and sound deadening, I agree it's strong enough. But you can't put anything heavier in it, which is why I'd use something stronger.

EXCELLENT JOB!!! LOVE THE CONTENT!!

Thanks! Pretty loud hahah. But hoping to have a daily soon enough to use on longer drives.
@@SmplBuilds Haha dang! Was hoping the foam would dampen the noise a little. Oh well, such is racecar life lol

your making some wholesome videos, keep it up bro
What a cool mod, I love it; genitally speaking...I mean generally speaking.
😂😂
bruh i needed this thank you so much. also nice karate chops lol.
Hahah glad to help m8!
2mins and 6 seconds… Thanks for the fascella construction plug😂
Always homie hahaha
Any idea where to get the fabric? Love the videos!
Joannes fabrics 👍🏻 Thanks!
Removing back seats in my Fist came out about as well too lol
Would've take 10x longer without my impacts hahah
Im a father of 6 with a Toyota sienna minivan. Id like to see what you'd do with that lol.
Hi. What is that big round thing when you took out the left seat❓
Hello. I think what you're referring to is the access to the fuel pump
Can you make a rear diffuser diy
I want to in the future! We'll see
why did you you use foam? Are you not planning on putting anything in it?
Its thick foam it will hold up. Don't plan on using it for much though

Thanks!
looks cool but why would you want to turn a 45 door car into a two seater maybe a 3 door would have been mre fitting
Bc racecar

@@SmplBuilds *Thanks. How's the handling with all the weight gone in the back?*
Yeah, think I'll just keep the rear seats in..... too much hassle

Steel is a terrible idea, aluminium sheet maybe onto of the foam, for lightness
Sheeeeeeeeeeeshhhhh 🥵🚗🔥
Ahahahha 😎👌🏼 thanks 💯🔥
5:38 dude said genital shape 😭😭😭
SMPL carpentry!
Ahaah yessirrr
How much weight do you think it would hold ?
Hmm good question. Maybe 100 pounds if its Dispersed evenly
@@SmplBuilds no back seat shenanigans 😭
Best to cut kingspan with a saw
Please do not chop me with The Hand of Death!!
Let me get those rear seats tho🤔
How much?
He cute😍
I couldn't help but laugh, working on cars DIY. There's always another sodding bolt or screw hidden
Need a 3 door otherwise it looks so weird

It's lightweight. That's why he used it.

@@liamholcroft7212 its strong enough for the purpose it's used for. It also has fantastic sound deadening. Great idea.
