Thank you Acutteridge, as a special education teacher I have seen the same that you describe. I find it to be sad. Today I spent a few minutes repeatedly convincing one of my non-verbal students just...

I wasn't "planning" on selling it. I had $10k in the window as the price, just for fun at the shows, like fishing without a worm. My wife's jetta needed to go, it was a good car, not much wrong...

Well, Unfortunate news... I traded in the AVEO.

I think I got the highest trade in value ever offered for a 7 year old AVEO. (8 actually since the '17s are out)

Picked up my new ride.. not...

Car has been reliable again now that I started driving it more (had battery issues when you only start it once a month), pick up is a little slower with the big wheels. But its still fun, rubs a...

maybe i'll do the headlights.. its just extra $ spent to me though.

the roof is Carbon fiber wrapped, from when I did it:

MetroMPG- I didn't stand by my car. But when I pulled in a few old guys asked me what it was. But none of them recalled seeing an aveo. Most people at the show don't know what parts are stock, and...

Took it to the car show.. parked off by myself made good company. (GT350.. my "new vehicle" dream car)

I relocated the AC line, and the computer, battery, and fuse box. I already didn't have an air box on the other side. I cut the apron even with the frame rail. In the corner of the strut tower down...

It's a sickness..

I started out with those rabbit flares for the little wheels.
Once I bought the 4 17x10et15 wheels, it was all over.
I was looking for anything that would fit.

Its...

It's above the taillight under the hatch, its still in the jamb, so "legally outside of the car.

Picture it like this, going straight is fine. It rubs when I turn, brake, and the road leans. Its all in the front wheel wells. I was going to cut them out and move everything BEFORE, but the...

if that bumper is your first attempt at bodywork, it is not bad. The hardest part with auto body is patience. Taking the extra step to make it right every time. Professional body men learn to do it...

Thanks Xintersecty, the tail lights came out pretty good. everything on the car could be better if i had more time to spend.


Swerv2010- I don't do Facebook. You can post, and link to here if...

Finished the taillights today, lets hope i can make them work.. all LED.

2" mandrel bent the whole way with only a glass pack..

Did a little while t home for the weekend.

glued the LED panels into the housing, figured out another LED add on for the turn signal in the top of the light. Need more glue to put it all back...

MY tail lights:

You should remember I cut the tops off for the BOSER hatch look.. (check the added metal in the hatch and 1/4)
I still need to cap them.

Well that wasn't enough, time to...

Only got buffing done for the day, and then unmasked it. Should start going together tomorrow :thumbright:


Renewed the registration with 2 months left until the next renewal.. Will be back on...

Noticed I forgot the back bumper:

I just got done spraying the car.. I can't even remember what it used to look like. Going to do some side by side shots when its all together. I forced it through, 7 days of school left. It really...
