Daug's 2008 aveo5 sv build thread.

[daug1502]

New update. I forgot to post pics of accident, no point now. Car looks and drives 100%. Except for an unrelated radiator leak that I am fixing tomorrow. The real news is new shoes...

needs moar gold

[daug1502]

Gold is not my color. I'd rather drop all the chrome, replace the plastic and some other parts with carbon fiber. But sadly I am losing interest in the aveo. Hoping to free up enough money to build a classic truck soon.

Update's coming soon!

I am trying to renew my interest in the car. After 4 years of use and abuse this is still one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. I have never owned a car for more than a couple years before this one.

It's tax season to I have decided to pamper it a bit with some H&R Lowering springs, and new shocks and struts. Car is also due for an alignment, so it's as good a time as any.

I still need to take some measurements to make sure the tires won't rub, but I am not expecting any troubles. I will try to post some pics when I get the project rolling.

Can't wait for pics. The rims are very nice btw

[daug1502]

Got the lowering springs and new shocks on today. Got a bit of trouble shooting to do with noisy rear end, but That has to wait until tomorrow. I will get pics up as soon as I have a final result.

EDIT!

I know the problem and solution.

Details are in my post on a different thread.

this is the end.

hit a deer with the aveo Sunday night. Insurance company is towing it away Monday.

i am buying a Jeep.

I was only able to salvage the rear anti roll bar from the back hatch. If anyone is interested pm me, i should see it. Make an offer, keep in mind you pay shipping.

would post a pic but cell phone won't allow it

[petrified.rabbit]

ouch, sorry. sometime if you show receipts for the new parts you just put on (lowering springs for example) the insurance will consider that in its valuation of the vehicle. SOMETIMES.
