#FiestaST #DIY #HowTo
In todays video I show you how I made a false floor for my Fiesta ST for under $75! I walk you through how to delete your rear seats as well. Hope this motivates you guys to give something like this a shot. Was a fun one for sure and definitely reduces some weight as well which has many benefits.
You do not have to use the same methods or materials that I used but this was my process and wanted to share with you all. And I didn't use wood bc that would defeat the purpose of weight reduction.
Measurents:
48 inches from the top all the way to the bottom
45 from bottom to top of curve
4 feet wide at top
39 inches wide at the shallow portion

Looks clean. But if I could make a minor suggestion. Plywood over using the foam. You still want a useable space. Even if it means cutting the plywood into 2 or 3 sections for fitting. You can also beef up the plywood by nailing or screwing in some 1x3 to the underside as a kind of built in sub frame. Little extra cost over this build but not by much. And you don't have to worry about glue eating through the foam. So you could use fabric adhesive to help your material of choice adhere better.

Great video and clean setup! How loud is the cabin of the car? Ran my FiST without the rear seats for a lit bit, put them back in because it got too loud on longer drives lol.

@SmplBuilds 3 года назад

Thanks! Pretty loud hahah. But hoping to have a daily soon enough to use on longer drives.

@RoyalyDrunk 3 года назад

@@SmplBuilds Haha dang! Was hoping the foam would dampen the noise a little. Oh well, such is racecar life lol

@TheMainMan318 3 года назад

@@RoyalyDrunk I would suggest putting sound deadening on the bottom since you have everything out. I'm thinking I might do this, but use a stronger material (wood) then foam to support more weight as idk how much weight the foam would support.

@RoyalyDrunk 3 года назад

@@TheMainMan318 I've already put the rear seats back in, just until I can come up with a plan for the noise. I think if you did the a thin sheet of plywood along with the foam you would get the rigidity for weight and the foam to help dampen the noise.

@TheMainMan318 3 года назад

@@RoyalyDrunk yeah that's a good idea. There are a few posts on the forums about sound deadening and the best places to put it. Since the seat bottom is so easy to take out I'll probably start there and the rear trunk area. One of my biggest complaints is just how much road noise I hear with the FiST

*Did you notice if the cabin noise gets louder without the back seats?*

@SmplBuilds 2 года назад

Funny you said that. I just recently took my false floor out and its crazy the difference it makes in sound. Without the back seats its definitely a little more cabin noise but the Styrofoam false floor absorbs a ton of noise. So without the false floor, its so much more road noise with just the back seats out

@Randallsixx13 3 года назад

Just a thought. If you used steel, it would be more rigid, plus it would lower the car several inches while keeping the original suspension (for a while). Honestly, I like this idea, except as SOON as I did it, I'd need the back seat in. Looks great, though!

@SmplBuilds 3 года назад

Thanks!!

@yourgrandmotherspimp1280 Год назад

Steel is a terrible idea, aluminium sheet maybe onto of the foam, for lightness

@steelbluesleepR 3 года назад

why did you you use foam? Are you not planning on putting anything in it?

@SmplBuilds 3 года назад

Its thick foam it will hold up. Don't plan on using it for much though

@flbchbm 2 года назад

if he changes his mind, he could easily add 1/5 luan on it and re-carpet it. Light, but strong. (that would have been a great way to future-proof it, but It's not like he's going to carry 50lb bags of river wash or quickcrete. I was thinking to make one similar, but w/luan over thinner foam and then hinge it where the cargo meets the seat bottom. That allows loading taller items through the door, side to side. Plus getting it into the car w/o breaking the wings. I've already put butyl sound mat in the whole back area and down to the rear floor. I'll add ensolite closed when I do the deck lid, but it is behind the plastics already.

Think you could have done a better job of this if i'm honest. Why use the foam when you could have done the same thing in ply or chip board? looks nice and the video was good but i would have used something else.

@billyfinnegan9265 2 года назад

It's lightweight. That's why he used it.

@liamholcroft7212 2 года назад

@@billyfinnegan9265 it is but it's not strong, it wouldn't have added so much weight to have used plywood or something else. If he was really serious about being light weight he could have put fiberglass over the foam.

@billyfinnegan9265 2 года назад

@@liamholcroft7212 its strong enough for the purpose it's used for. It also has fantastic sound deadening. Great idea.

@liamholcroft7212 2 года назад

@@billyfinnegan9265 for aesthetics and sound deadening, I agree it's strong enough. But you can't put anything heavier in it, which is why I'd use something stronger.
