I seem to recall "at least" one side of the trunk like on the driver side where during a couple years there was a drop in plastic tool container.
I am interested in using the left and right openings as storage for my son's car we are redoing.
If there are in fact oem drop in tool containers, that would be nice to find.
Its either that or we make them ourselves because I don't want to dent the exterior of the rear fenders with things that get dropped in.
thoughts?
When I had my white '88, I always kept a small jack, and a bag of basic tools in there, as well as jumper cables, and a quart or 5 of oil, and a gallon of mixed coolant. Had to, mine had the 3.8 and it always leaked oil, LOL
The fuel filler intrudes on the passenger side..not sure I ever kept anything over there.
I also had my trunk full of subs and amps, so I needed every inch of space I could get.
I will look. I had a couple in the garage. if I still have them, they are yours. On both sides, not sure it can work. The driver side has a lot more space than the passenger side does.
Get the mini spare cover for the drivers side and it will double the space.
I put my akly injection setup on the drivers side, and still have room for extras.
trying to confirm certain models had a drop in plastic container, at least on the drivers side.............
or am I thinking of something else?
Pre '87 models I believe.
Yep, my 85 Turbo Coupe had one. A plastic drop-in to hold things.
Prior to 87 the spare wasn't in the quarter panel well. in 87 and up it was. probably why no 87-88 car had the liner.
My 83 has it.
My cougar might. I always thought it was only for cars with a full size spare option.
I had a full size spare with the matching liner cover...and still there was no storage in the well. I did still have the tire shaped cover for the quarter panel though
Both of my 3.8 '88 cars had the mini spare in the "pocket", complete with a cover that was held in place by the big yellow plastic screw thing-a-ma-jiggie.
Only two cars I've ever seen them on...guess the others were lost in the sands of time.
I remember a flip up lid as well..
anyone come up with pics of this puppy yet?
I just looked. Apparently the two trunk cubbys I had were tossed out. .
well dang it,,
I told Justin that I might end up using a heat gun and shape a plastic box, container, trash can or something in similar width and length to drop in there.
we tend to have to make stuff work sometimes,, IM dead set on turning these cubby holes on each side into useable space
Get some thin metal or other material, make a tool box that fits right in to that location like it belongs there on the driver side. As far as the passenger side. There's not much room at all over there.
