Todays update - not much, first off cleaned the sawsust out of the box so i could see what i was working with after drinding the old baffle away. I filled a Henry vac bag full of dust, still got a ton in the front cabin

As you can see it has left me with not a smooth surface where i worked and some parts where the carcase was grinded to make the old woofers fit







Out comes the filler for the first layer - Yes i know its rough at owt but its just the first layer and it will be sanded smooth, the entire box is getting a layer of filler inside to get rid of rough textures

not a massive amount done on it, but i have been out ti pick up some more batterys



This will give me 10 hawker genesis batterys in the boot as well as the odessey battery under the bonnet (the hawkers and the odessey batts are made by the same people using the same tech. Just produced for different markets (Odessey - car use, hawker - UPS) and the hawkers are just a odessey cut in half


BTW i dont think Jag ever envisioned someone using the footwell of an XJ to carry a big pile of batteries
