rear 1/4 is very close to being done no pic will look the same as the last one
 also took the rear bar off.above in one of my posts i was considering having a small scoop on the left side of the bonnet to feed cool air to the pod so with a scrap sheet of tin and my trusty mig welder (gasless) sitting around i gave one a go.  i dont think it will look any good (maybe that ones abit dodgie) but anyway i think i will cut a hole in the bonnet and put some mesh there depending how hard it would be to put mesh there. lastly thought i would show the type of filler i have been using i havent really seen it before and only recently noticed it where i buy my primer etc from wich is spectrum car paints.  this is a very good product and is probably one of the best body fillers i have used, back when i did cert 1 in auto body we had some stuff in a pink tin that was good and spectrum supplied it, this is better for anyone interested its $45.and decision has been made top half of the car will be getting resprayed red bottom half ego.

Nice car mate. I have the same colour. Mine is an eb sxr6 but done up as an Ed xr6. Very annoying colour as forthe fading. I polish mine every month to keep the shine. Luckily my car has been rust protected no rust anywhere. As for the moulds I would keep them as is. Mine where colour coded and I changed then back! Love the boxcar!

its been a while since the last update and ive done nothing
 last week i got called into work i had my sisters wedding last weekend, i worked all week this week and i have my cousins wedding tomorrow i have been thinking pretty hard about 2 tone and im not to sure i think i will grab a colour chart on tuesday when i grab my under coat and spray gun and have a look. if i decide to go a different colour i will spray the door jams black quick and easy.sunday i plan to get stuck back into it i have to work monday then tuesday i will pick up the under coat etc and hopefully get it primed in the next week or 2 (most of the major body work is done) hopefully i have it painted by the end of the month i have to wait and see how the weather goes. a wall of text i will update with pictures soon now my computers up and running again.

Nice work man, they do look good in red, and with the Xr front lights on them. I reckon lower it over some turbo blades, give it a chrome dump tip as suggested & cruise around for a while saving up for the other bits to do.
Keep at it, Xr's and Ghia's are worth fixing rust on, lower spec or appeal car's are not worth bothering with. (Says he with 1 Ghia & 2 Xr8's lol)Cheers ToranaGuy
