I must admit... I get a little hard every time I see that bonnet.
 In my mind the XB/XC coupe is still the hottest looking car Australia ever produced and the bonnet is one of the reasons why. |

Body Kit Progress 2
I scored an early mark from work today by taking a couple of hours rec leave. I started adding some body filler to the bonnet.  This was sanded and then a second skim layer was applied.  The levels are pretty good now. There are a couple more areas on the bonnet that will require cutting back and get the bog treatment as well as a small rust spot I found under the right hand vent and then it will be ready for the first layer of undercoat. I realised that I missed adding body filler to this area of the BA XR Bar.  For a bit of background, the BA bar is longer from the front to the wheel arch, and gets trimmed to match the EB bar length and curve. This just leaves a thin trailing edge which is not all that strong. SWC fabricated a filler piece and using a polysumpthineratha glue and backed up with fibreglass added extra strength and from a visual perspective gave it that finished look.  I then covered up SWCs fine work with bog.  Then some quick work with my detail sander.  I have now wet sanded the entire bar using 400 grit. I noted the top of the EB bar felt a bit hairy after being sanded with the 60 grit detail sander, but after knocking it back with the 400 grit it is in much better shape. It is ready for some primer. Hopefully the weather will continue to play nice. Cheers BenJ

Body Kit Progress 3
After the fog lifted this morning at around 10am, I was able to get some work done. I went ahead and filled in the body molds on the flares. Apart from the fact I got a bit over zealous with the sander and practically erased part of the molds, they were not quite lining up with the car and I was undecided on if I actually liked them. I of course also filled in the mold lines in the rear flares too.  The plan is to install the NL clear indicators lower than the factory EB location where I had them positioned before. The idea is to line them up with the chrome strip which should visually bring the chrome strip into the flare, if you get my drift. This will require modding the guards to suit, but any larger hole would be covered by the std side strip if the flares ever needed to be ditched. I applied a bit more body filler to a couple of spots on the BA XR Bar and while it and the flares cured I spent a bit of time setting up my pressure reg, and filter in readiness to apply paint. When I replaced the Air Compressor I needed to find somewhere to mount the pressure reg. I found a suitable spot on the wall, cut my old air hose into two pieces and installed a semi permanent feed line to the pressure reg. After sanding the body filler on the flares and bar and then playing Taxi duty for my daughter, I thought it was time to lay down the first coat of primer on the bar.    I am quite stoked with how good it is looking. Must resist urge to fast forward and paint it black tomorrow. Cheers BenJ
