The saga continues!

So, I got my new clutch kit in the mail, meant for a 2009 Cobalt, so as soon as my mechanic is free again we can try and get this thing on the road...

As an extra note, I’m still working on modding her even while she’s down. What I’m currently working on is a OG VX style trailing edge fender vent to go on when I swap the Redline front clip on (I want the look and its projector retrofitted lights).

I began by measuring and marking off a piece to cut out of the fender (pic included)

Then I cut out the pieces, took them home and transferred the shape roughly into coroplast (my EcoModding material of choice as it reduces the costs of these mods to near free), as well as defining the shape of the part that will actually attach to the fender

Next, I have to cut the filler pieces to hold the vent open and hopefully to a inward curve of some kind (better to extract the fenderwell air with) and then fasten the whole thing together and prepare it to be attached to the fender

Tune in next week for the next episode, when I maybe get to drive the thing and I keep aeromodding the Redline front clip I plan to swap on. I’ve got a bumper cover with way too many grille openings and some fake scoops on the sides which I plan to turn into functional air curtains, and maybe add some kinda air dam if I get a chance
