The gas tank behind the seat prevents an ultra low floor, unfortunately, but there is still a decent amount of storage space to be gained.

Regarding the aluminium bar, I will probably put it back in the car, but taking it out for now makes it easier to get the battery out and new floor laid.

Does the bar really help structural integrity? Thought it was more to help keep the IMA in place. Ecky removed his when he deleted the IMA and rebuilt the rear.

Not sure if I'll reuse the aluminum back plate, or make a new one. There's a bit of storage on the sides behind the seats I could use for my tools instead of having them in the back that woukd be lost if i covered it up with that plate.

Still working on the layout of how I want to rebuild it. I'll have a better idea of how I can work with it once I have a permanent bypass installed and the IMA battery out.

Eyeing some Polk speakers on sale to replace the crappy OEM ones too.
