The panels are screwed in with self tappers but the trick with this design was to mount the flat floor pan and the woofer box itself before adding the side panels, then they can also be screwed directly into the ends of the sides - meaty (timber) of the woofer box. No brackets were used.
This is the second boot I have refitted and this particular design allows more room and was easier to fabricate than the previous effort on my old white LX.
The hardest part is lining up the holes made by the self tappers after the test fit. only two screws per panel are used and pretty well hidden.
I guess boxed up is not a bad phrase for what I did
The whole unit can be disassembled in a matter of less than 5 mins thus retaining an original boot should it ever be required.

Sorry Heath but I didn't take any 'before' photo's of the boot, now you mention it I wish I had! Nor did I take any progress pics of the procedure...Just look at any old torana boot, imagine it looking rough and thats what my boot was like
The only other photo's I have are of the first boot job I did, you are welcome to those if you want - just ask if interested.
I will eventually post some photo's after my mate the ex motor trimmer has worked on it somemore but don't hold your breath he does good work but only when he feels like doing it. I am happy to wait.

A good number of us in Canberra do not actually carry spares lol go figure I guess we humbly rely on those who do!
