How to Make your own Rear Seat Delete for a Mk1 Audi 8N
This rear seat delete cost £50 to make using the materials shown in the video.
In this video we cover, what you need and how to Build a rear seat delete, materials and tools
The main piece is the exact size of the Rear boot floor carpet plus 4 inches in length and flared out, it does take a few attempts to get perfect, I used a sander to just smooth out the edges to get a nice snug fit
then cut a piece of wood the width of the final top piece and 9 inches in length, then I used a bit of 18mmx 38mm timer to join the two together.
I used another bit of 18mm x 38mm at the bottom to rest the lower section on. the lower section I got a piece of cardboard and trimmed it with scissors to fit perfectly ,
upholstery wise I used some suede type material from dunelm, spray glue and a staple gun to cover the wood.
Tools used :
drill
saw
jigsaw
tape measure and pencil
sander
staple gun and scissors.
took a few hours but saved a few hundred pounds so im happy with the results plus maximises the space in the back
