Getting a little closer with the rear hatch. I've finished with installing the core, the inner fiberglass layers and an initial Bondo layer. I've also ordered custom cut glass panels for the hatch. They have a complex profile so it took a while for me to find a shop that could cut and temper them from the MDF templates I made up.

Thanks!! I'm really happy with how the spoiler came out in the end. I must remember to take a better video of it though.

The hatch is almost ready now. Of course there are still lots of minor imperfections that will need to be filled. The ledges are cut straight and to the correct thickness.

I sanded down the hatch's inside surface and gave it a quick coat of primer. I still have a number of imperfections that will need some attention.

Happy holidays to everyone!!

I started to do some interesting fiberglassing work around the engine bay. These two pieces are used to cover the framing and also become a mounting point for the engine bay trim pieces. These two pieces still need to be finished (trimmed and smoothed out with a little bondo). I had to remove the alternator and belt tensioner since they interfered with everything. I'll need to find a new spot to mount the items I removed. Of course I'll have to pull the engine to do that...damn. Think I'll procrastinate on that for a while, lol. When I do finally get around to pulling the engine again, I'll also mount the AC compressor.

I finished the engine bay edge trim pieces with Bondo, primer and paint. They came out really well.



The final step will be to urethane them in place and drill screw holes to mount the black oem trim pieces. I'll also need to make some mounting brackets that fit just below the rear window,



All the trim pieces are sitting loose in these pics, but it shows roughly how everything goes together.
