ebay hatch with moulded wing

[bunki86]

hey,
has any one got any pix of these hatch/wings fitted to cars, i cant find any and im about to pull the trigger on one.

its the one jimmy19650 does, i know he's posted here before about making them, but ive never seen them fitted.

what are they like?

cheers.

theyre not very good anyway haha.
why did no one stop me !!

spent more on it, to fix it, than what it cost.

always wondered how these went, any pics of how bad it was?

[bunki86]

yeh i do.

i expect glass parts to need a lil bit of work. but this just needed way too much. i should of actually just, canned it. but it did owe me just under 800$ inc freight. so i was kinda already in.


so you can see on the left side, how far out the end of the hatch extends past the body. material had to get removed and then re fiberglassed inside.

another pic of that corner.


the whole sides were caved in, on both sides, so looking from the back sides were sucked in like this )(
the wing flat needed alot of work to get flat (sort of kinda to be expected i guess with big glass panels)


another pic of the caved in sides.



other side.


i had to get the sides re-glassed

i had to get the top re glassed as it was peeling up and had to remove material above and add it underneith


it was a complete piece of shit, to tell you the truth.

the dude that made it, was actually pretty nice, and the way he packed it all boxed up was awesome. so i was expecting something decent.
but it needed way too much work.

if i was closer and didnt have to pay so much shipping, id prolly be less upset. but overall cost, inc repairs, sucks ass.
