How bigs your boot?
I wasn't sure whether to put thios in external or internal, but I figured as its an enclosed area I'd put it in here
Anyway, people keep telling me locosts aren't practical and that I won't be able to put anything in them. I figured I'd just shove
my bag in the passenger seat, but how big are the boots on these cars? Anyone got any pictures to give me an idea of scale/size?
Thanks![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif)

They're actually not bad, but for real carrying capacity, try this!

How about 2 crash hats, 4 coke cans and a jack.

Great, love the look of you dashboard mate, looks stunnging with that blue leather!

That's an impressive load!!
Is that an Opel Manta GTE Exclusive rear seat I see in there??
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Rear seat - well spotted!!
The bases are from the same car.
Car 2 has GT/E Recaro bases cut down and re welded, and Cavalier rear seat backs - same material.
Guess what cars I had sat on my drive, not going anywhere!
Makes you wonger why I didn't go for Manta donor, but thought it a bit big!
