Soon!!!! Will start looking for a late model hatch after I'm done with other started mods.

I was just about to ask if you plan to shave the hatch? But I didnt realise theres a difference between early and late model hatches? Can some one de-ignorant me please?

[peedman]

Late model hatches have a third brake light inside the rear windscreen instead of in the hatch spoiler and thus the screen itself has one less mounting hole (for the wiring of the brake light spoiler).

I do have 2 spare hatches, one of which is a late model!

dont shave the recess what ever you do!!!! perhaps wiper delete though

god i love your car!

[rayray086]

Plate recess delete is UGLY, so don't worry James

I think shaving the wiper and badge is a good start. I agree about not shaving the plate recess. i've seen some that design like a new different shaped plate recess? That could be alright.

A lot of work though, but can look really good if done right. Some motivation got me thinking about a narrowed standard plate recess (to fit the standard white NSW plates snugly) or use the Bora plate recess, which doesn't have the plastic grab handle. Both would be a lot more cleaner, just a ****load of work.

Oh well, had another accident. Looks like I go backwards more than I go forwards with my car!

Long story short, understeered in the wet when turning left and plowed towards a cliff face. Lots of protruding rock on the ground which hit the front bumper, radiator support and crossmember back.

Bent tie-rod


Crossmember pushed back




Where the crossmember mounts onto the chassis legs






With the mods I've done and not reporting it to my insurance, I don't think I can get an insurance claim. It's under my father's name as well along with two other cars so raising the premium would suck.

Will have to see what other damage has been done as well, then I can start hunting for parts. Crossmember mount would have to be redone by a panel beater I think, but everything else I'll be trying to fix myself... *sigh*

[DubSteve]

Ahh **** dude

Ray let me know if you want and I will bring the welder over and we can do it together man!

If we can align it up it won't be that hard.

[peedman]

Yeh fix what u can ray which is the tie rods and acc tensioner then take the car to a panel beater to do the rest. U can borrow my pressure washer if need be to clean all that junk off!

[Water Boy]

Ohhh Ray bummer mate

Slog it out and readu for Nats

[Pullstarter]

Sad to see Ray Hope it works out not costing you too much.

[Preen59]

Ahh dude that sucks. Chalk it up to experience i guess.

You're pretty handy so you'll work it out.

Just remember, with some things, if you can't do it properly, pay someone who can.
