Yeah, MDF.

Also made a panel that goes behind the rear seat. Will be mounting my amp to this.

Changed the oil and filter, from what I think was cheap 'Repco' oil, and 'OEM' branded filter, to some other filter, and Shell Helix Fully Synthetic 10W-40 :)
I also flushed the Rad coolant 8)

All good, seemed to be a tad bit of rust in it, so it looks like a replacement rad may have to be on the cards at some time...

Hose at one end of the pipes, and just pushed out all the old stuff, then ran some coolant through, put hoses back on, and fill right up with coolant. I also removed the reservoir, and cleaned that out separately.
