What do you do with the extra space?

I was replacing my seat belts on my '80 SA22 and had to pull back some sheet metal to get at the retractors and saw a major empty cavity looking back at me.

I was figuring to install a fridge with a mini-bar that would roll-down back to original look was a thought, but I'd like to know if anyone else has ideas on what to do with it.

On the FB's it's used for storage bins. The brace is not there.

Drinking and driving.


I don't know if the FB bin frames and bins will fit in an SA or not. If not, you can make your own if you are any good at carpentry or tin work.

bin dimentions

Could someone post the dimentions and location info for the factory bin cutouts?
I would like to cut access holes in my 1979 SA to do the bin mount battery but i would like to have it look near stock.

Yup...that's another way to go...was thinking about flat screens in the seat backs and hiding an inverter and PS2 where the spare is...pop the hatch and its all good fun.

A hotplate or toaster oven (microwave?) would work, but I just can't figure out where to put john
