Our hands are not for boredom. (We ennoble the trunk) Episode I. - Toyota Camry, 3.0 liter, 1994
My kamryushki has a fairly large and roomy trunk, but stupid.
Everything that you can’t put there hangs there like a well-known thing in a three-liter jar. =)
The absolutely flat floor is to blame for this, and the complete absence of any significant nooks and crannies, with the exception of a niche for a jack on the right and a shallow pocket on the left.
And no hooks or eyelets to secure the load.
Previously, I have already made attempts to somehow improve the situation - Chinese nets on the floor, a mesh pocket and a small pocket on the wall.
And the niche for the spare wheel is covered with a flimsy piece of cardboard, which strives to break, which happened to me ...
…and that was the last straw!
It started!
Pencil, ruler and 12mm plywood will help me with this =)
I forgot about the electric jigsaw =)
Having cut the future floor along the contour of the original carpet, we also cut the hatch of the required configuration
In the background, the future luggage floor for the Priora, in which the standard side "ears" fall into niches ... But more on that later and already visible in my personal blog =)
I dismissed the option of attaching the hatch with piano hinges right away, I want to make it removable. Or rather, quick-release. Well, you never know, you have to dig there =)
And for this, ordinary latches were bought. All this economy will be from below (inside) and will not be visible.
This is roughly how it should turn out.
To secure the load, with nets or something else, others fitted me with special eye hooks.
Those on the left are from the Mitsubishi Pajero III, and those on the right are from the Volvo XC90.
I will implement them.
Made a stencil out of paper
Made in Sweden =)
According to the resulting stencil, we cut holes for them.
Something like this, you don’t have to try too hard, the loops will then be attracted to the floor.
It turned out like this =)
A small sample in place, if necessary, you can then grind the plywood where required, with the usual sandpaper R-80, R-120.
In order to open the lid normally, you need a handle. It came up wonderfully from the same Mitsubishi Pajero III.
So far, the whole economy looks like this.
This is all that has been done to date.
Unfortunately, all this has to be done in fits and starts during working hours, and therefore it will probably take more than one day. =(
So there will be a continuation… =) www.drive2.ru/cars/toyota…/288230376151817213/#post
No, it’s not heavy at all! A little later I’ll post how I made it all easier.
In addition, the whole structure will be rigidly on the floor, only the lid will rise, and it is quite light.
Yes it (functionality) I also achieved.
There I will still focus and think of something else =)

One of these days I should post a sequel.
It's just that the work is not moving fast, you have to check during working hours, which is on the management. It acts like a red rag on a bull =)
I strongly believe :)

I also broke regular plywood) I made the floor simpler of course than you, just two pieces - one motionless, the second leans back, without other problems) but also satisfied
Do you have any creativity?)
It turns out great, and most importantly, everything looks high quality ... I hope the end result will not be long in coming ... tell the management - the passes are required)
I also like to do things myself. Somehow it’s more interesting, especially if it’s not about repairs, but about improvements)
They won’t take it, they have a focus on the mass consumer =)
And the semi-finished product that turned out is not even half of what was planned =)
That's what happens when hands grow from where they need to go! It turned out very well, you have to go as an engineer to Toyota!
I'll try not to disappoint.
It’s a pity that the Drive appeared not so long ago, and I found out about it even later. A lot of interesting things, as I think, were left behind the scenes.
