i shaved the beaver

Rupewrecht · 24-10-2007, 02:43 PM

Well, another little mod i'm doing progressed over the weekend. The shaving of the beaver panel/rear garnish. It's been sitting there half done for about 6 months, and for some reason i got motivated to do something about it.

i was going to mold it into the bootlid, but i like the symmetry of the line of the lights and line at the top of the garnish.

the numberplate gets moved to a recess in the rear bumper that i've made (no you can't see that yet...maybe

), using the factory lights. A slimline plate fits perfectly in the recess.

So there you go!

Awesom, love it. I will take a guess and say taht you are a perfectioniest by nature.

Right, or wrong?

Rupewrecht · 24-10-2007, 03:53 PM

cheers guys

Well, not really a perfectionist. It's just that if i rush something, i'll only do it 'enough' and not 'properly' as i should have in the first place!

So i'll take my time, knowing that it's worth it in the end...crap, i guess i am then haha

But usually time and motivation are the big factors. But doing it all myself is worth it.

karamello · 24-10-2007, 04:27 PM

im starting to wonder if this car will ever get finished lol

skitz · 24-10-2007, 04:29 PM

maybe he never wants it finished as what then......

Rupewrecht · 24-10-2007, 04:36 PM

It's been finished, this is just version 3!

and to be honest, i'm more interested in driving it than working on it!
