[Supras] Sub Box for 89 Targa?

[Jeff Mohler]

My box may get wet..but.._fix the leak_ is sorta my idea.

Also. my box doesnt fully touch the bottom (using high density 1-part foam
as a base) and the drain will remain open.

PS:  Im in my trunk enough to know if its leakin...but still valid point.
But with all new seals, should be good for another decade.
