We built a wheelchair ramp to Clementine's garage this afternoon from tarmac chippings (as a shortcut for the lawn mower). Problem with loose stuff in Renault 4s is it falls into the rear footwells. So here's Frederic's boot liner.
It's 1m * 1.3m and can just be lifted into the car in one piece. Here it is installed.
And in use (Frederic is only happy when he's mucky).
It's really handy, and a slightly shorter and narrower version would be easy to fit and remove for the occasional messy load.
I'm very proud of the new ramp. There used to be a 300mm drop from the concrete. We went over the tarmac with a whacking machine and it seems to be holding together quite tightly - the tarmac chippings were quite new and still a bit sticky. Couple of tonnes of chippings went in there, but I still need to figure out what to do with the other 20 tonnes.

Is your bulkhead bolted in to the rear seat mountings? I wanted to add a little floor protection as there is bound to be someone out there who will lovingly restore Yvette, and I'm sure they'll appreciate the excellent boot floor.
