so thinking about turning my aveo in to an light fuel efficient adventure vehicle to Explore the Province of Ontario with my fiancee. the car does so much better in snow and off-road then my boat (mitsubishi Galant) plus i would not dare to risk damaging the Galant.

im thinking of removing the back seat to turn it in to a storage area, roof rack to hold a storage bin, and 2 26lb light weight kayaks, and bike rack that would attach to tow hitch to hold 2 light weight mountain bikes.

run 4 beefy snow tires on stock steel rims, plus full size spare, and maybe a metal skid plate to protect the oil pan

Wat you guys think?

If you pull the back seat would you need all the racks? Sounds like a good time to me.

might sound stupid, and i still have to test my idea, but im hoping to be able to sleep in the back of the aveo :lol:

wat other mods should i make to the car to make it a perfect adventure vehicle?

entertainment is covered with kenwood deck and 6.5 infinity kappas in the doors for the long drives, cruise control would be awesome tho

other mods,

add the third seal to the doors take the panel vents out and shut them up, a snorkel intake, a slight lift, knobby tires, 4wd, skid plates, lights (front and back), roll cage, wooded beaded seat cover,


you know VW air cooled people make a tent that goes on top on the roof rack, if you can convert the back to storage, you could sleep on top of the car..
