are you gonna clean up the edges of the doors too?
(the edges of the doors seem to taper off, its not as straight and true as it could be)
(don't know if all our cars are like that but mine is)

I started on that one today and didnt really like where it was going. I might continue on it but it was such I tight space I had to cut out all the metal support around the panel just so I could physically see the fuel pipe to start working with it.


The other problem is that the taillight goes into the trunk jam. I would have to cut the taillight and dont really want to leave it open for moisture to get into it.


But we shall see I havent given up on it yet.

I might just put it on the inside of the trunk so I have to open the trunk everytime I fill my gas tank up Then jstu fiberglass around it and throw some subs in there with the gas cap in the center.

Yea I know the whole fuel filler/taillight area is TIGHT to say the least... ide do it whith building a sub enclosure or somthing so I had room to rout the pipe outside of the normal side pannel.. what would be inside of the rear area..also I found using Boat fuel filler hose to be a god send when trying to rout a remote filler.. definatly keep us posted on the mods...

Love that one, then loan it to your friend and tell them it needs fuel and videotape them walking around the car looking for the gascap...

Shave the tails and put in Caddy lights or LED's. Another thing I think would be sweet is if the liftgate glass and the body seperated like the 92-95 Civic hatch's. The liftgate glass would go up and the body would go down like a tailgate. Then I would shave the markers in the bumpers and fenders.

Regarding the gas cap in the rear gate jamb --

Oh yeah, like it would be really sweet to fill the interior with gas fumes at every fill up. And, in the unfortunate event you get rearended, it's good to have gas shooting out the filler and into the passenger compartment, like a Pinto.

there's a bunch of photos of that xb around JOE - I think there was a feature in MiniTruckin about a year or so ago too. Someone will chime in with the name of it - "green xb" in google will take you far
