Won't the wood be just as heavy as the rear seats? thus giving no gains at all . I hate the thought of using wood in a car, What about using fibreglass or something.

I've worked with loads of sizes of MDF and I can assure you 6mm is not that light at all. Ply wood is lighter than MDF but its not as easy to work with.

a cage depends upton whether or not you want a show cage or a proper safety cage.. show cages usually mount to the seat belt mounts or struts. whereas proper saftey cages are normally welded to the car.

as for the false floor... i made some sub woofer boxes and placed one either side of the boot. with a small amp rack bridging the two. (they fitted underneath the plastic side bits.infront of that i got a box section and then the same layout as the rear in the front in place of the back seat which is fixed to the rear door cards on brackets... will get some photo's

i also have a new parcel shelf fitted which comes to about 3 inches above my stuct brace.
