    DIY GQ rear draws on a budget

    So i made a rear draw unit on a budget for my GQ. 18mm marine ply cost me $352 laser cut all to my mesurements, $150 for carpet, glue, screws, handles etc etc. i would have cut the ply myself but i needed it cut to the mm as my measurements where extremely tight. i only allowed 2mm either side of each draw and nothing for the sides that are on the wheel well. i made it the perfect height so that they close down just under the window sill and rest on that. Also my esky fits perfectly on top (i will never buy a fridge). the sub is mounted on industrial velcro, so here it is

    Ply all cut and ready


    checking the measurements


    draws and main box complete


    checking it fits before hinges, carpet and handles are added


    all done and bolted in


    a view with the draws out and wheel well sides on hinges



    for those that are interested here are the measurements i used

    base and top :1080mm x 1000mm 2 of these
    back : 1080mm x 324mm
    sides : 982mm x 324mm 3 of these
    draw base : 508mm x 970mm 2 of these
    draw sides : 302mm x 952mm 4 of these
    draw back : 508mm x 302mm 2 of these
    draw front 1 : 549mm x 342mm
    draw front 2 : 531mm x 342mm
    sides well : 170mm x 985mm 2 of these
    fronts : 160mm x 342mm 2 of these
