Wow, I can't believe these pics got people into wanting a hatch. All things can be made beautiful if you can look beyond the ugliness.

Thanks guys for compliemtns and for the advice on getting a lip. My brother said I should get one too. Btw, you can't see it in the picture but I put on a home made mesh into the grille that I bought from Home Depot. I fastened with those plastic fasteners so it looks unprofessional in a way. I'll redo it sometimes when I take the bumper and use something silver to tie it together.

For the paint job, my father kindly did himself as he's a mechanic and autobody specialist. He use to have a shop but now he's retired and works at home in our garage. Its great I don't have to pay someone outside to do it. It would have cost a couple hundred Cdn I would say.
