Not got a real plan for it yet. Just going to make the flat bed in the back then add a window if I can to the back of the seats.

Debating wether to cut the interior base in half so the flat bed can be deeper.

Take 2 equal amounts from each side,
Mix untill all one colour, and no streaks.
Use a little bit of water so it dont stick to you or tools,
Mounld it onto what ever you need to do,
Allow to start setting off ie 3 hrs
Trim a little with sharp knife if you need to
After 24hours it should be hard and then you can sand, tap, drill or cut it

Hope this helps

hi mate take an evan amount and mix it together till its 1 colour, then when applying it to the car use some water on your fingers to get the rights shape and a much smoother finish, leave 24h to fully dry then sand with any kind of sand paper, a file can be used on it if so.
Whats happening bout this sierra bumper, what do u want to swop it for??????
