carpetting id say, buy some sheet carpet similar to that already in the boot of your car and tailor it to shape the underneath of the rear bench, and if you like even cover the boot floor in it

If you want the van look then a sheet of plywood should do the job, its better leaving it as it is though. Strut brace makes it look a bit less empty. Im sure i could find a picture of my xr2i stripped if you need inspiration
