Very nice work, and thanks for sharing the information and pictures. This forum doesn't get much of anything like this, and even fewer well-documented as you did. It's a welcome addition, and hats off to you for a job well done

Things are hopping here, lots of little to-do's on this car, now I'm repainting the hood, fixing a broken spring in the shifter, pulled the DRLs, and fixing the turn signal, they don't cancel after a turn. So lots of tiny projects, more pics to come. I will try to document the arm/frontend refresh work, have some Dorman arms on the way.

Hopefully this thread can help others buying/inheriting 'well used' Aveos, that need a work over.

I posted another thread for the Shifter/console work that I am doing, over here: http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/f84/c...-repair-16876/ in the interior section.

FYI for anyone needing to freshen up the bottom end. These prices are about par for aftermarket parts, and the quality seems pretty good.
