I've been busy... (extensive Aveo customization project)

Wow, that's going above and beyond what I am doing. Might make some progress this coming week. What part of the car is that you just welded on? I can't see it in my head.

This is going to be awesome! So glad you are doing it!

Awesome work rabbit! 1) Smooth hatch will have your car looking way different from others. 2) What bumper are you using for finish out the flaring on the front? 3) Are you using a structure epoxy to attach the two parts? Some of the guys have mentioned screws. 4) Are you going to feather the two parts together or just leave the overlap lip?

[petrified.rabbit]

I used a structural adhesive, 8115. I smoothed the side body line into the body line that already existed, across the front, the "U" cut body line will be an additional body line, but it will be smoothed in. The bottom lip is a $25 shipped lip for a civic off eBay. I will be adding then hiding some screws to keep it from tearing in case I hit anything.

Also completed this today:

progress...

made a bet that I wouldn't do it... so I did...





finalizing the bumper..

[petrified.rabbit]

i did a rough, rough fit... this is mostly to make the filler pieces for the "boser" tail lights. Lot of work needs done.

[petrified.rabbit]

looking at those pictures I realize I should have set the bumper and spoiler on too..

thought about shaving the door handles?
