I am interested in pictures of the rear seat area(yeah, I know it doesn't have one) and how SVT covered up the hole. I'm looking to duplicate that for weight saving reasons in an SCCA class. So, if any 00 R owners could take a few shots of the rear cover and how it attaches as well as the bottom cover, I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you in advance.
00 Cobra R rear seat area

I dont have any pics, but it is simply Plastic push pins along the rear hump into existing holes, and velcro along the top shelf, below the rear window.
They just used the carpet to cover the hole to the trunk?
What about the seat area? Did they do the same or was there a rigid material under the carpet?
I will need to get some pictures and print them out cause I'm gonna get protested when I finally do this. So it has to be as close as possible.

The seat bottom area, it is kind of like the thin board you would see over the spare tire/under the carpet of a regular mustang.
The carpeting is adhered to that for the seat bottom, then the carpet simply goes up to the rear shelf, where it attaches the full length with velcro, with the other half/side of the velcro on the shelf part.
I hope I'm explaining this in an understandable way. :rockon:

Got ya! All I need are some pictures of that and I'm good.
I'll conjure up some carpet from somewhere to match the interior and make that seat board and done. Oh, I'm assuming the seat board is held down some how.
I seriously appreciate the info. Thank you very much!

the front edge, behind the front seats, there is a ridge from left to right, with the tranny hump in the middle, along this ridge there are some existing holes, 5 maybe, and the plastic push pins go thru the carpet/board, line up into these holes.
Get a few more posts, so you can send PM's. When you do, send a PM to STEVE121 here, i think he has an extra rear R seat delete that he might want to sell.

Ok, great! Totally appreciated.
Awesome!!! That carpet/fabric is pretty loose. I guess guys just took it out when on the track. This opens up a whole 'nother issue. I COULD run with no backseat in ESP and it should be perfectly legal. Hmm........
Ford didn't spend too much time making the rear seat delete look pretty. They intended for it to be removed anyway, for race use...
Cool.
Is there anything in the original '00 R booklet that talks about the cover?

I totally agree. Some folks are anal about rules and I've been protested before so when I can have documentation, that shuts them up. Since I hold all but 1 track record in our series in this class....it's a CYA thing.
looking at that picture, is that just one continuous piece of carpet from the leading edge of the bottom panel all the way up to the rear package tray where it is velcroed in place?
Also you can see the fasteners on the leading edge of the bottom board. Are there any other fasteners on that bottom board other then that leading edge?

also the upper part that is just fabric. Is there anything behind that? or is it just sheet metal?
Yes, it is one piece of carpet from the hump to the rear shelf.
There are no other push pins other than the ones you see.
And behind the vertical part of the carpet, there is nothing other than the metal edges of the body on the sides. The middle of the carpet does kind of just flop around loose.
