no updates just been driving and enjoying but this is what it will look like eventually
 (not sure if these wheels are available anymore but same sort of style). please ignore my superior ablitys at chopping things  i did it in paint yes its crap but it gives you an idea.also starting a full time position at my current job so i may save a few pays and just drop if off somewhere let them cut the rust out and give it all a fresh coat of paint, mainly due to a few scrapes around it and the clear has marks all through it on the roof and boot.

ok so i couldnt post up yesterday as my computer s**t itself (AGAIN
 ) so i managed to get an old laptop going and on the net haha. so yesterday i got all the tape off fitted new tape and refitted the boot lip spoiler,  also tried on turbo blades thoughts?  at this stage work is stuffing around with the full time arrangement so it seems at this time it may not even be happening so as the car sits it has no power steering (belt keeps soming off) and it is out of rego  so when i have some money again ill get a new p/s belt and some rego and get some better photos with the turbo blades (only has 2) i just want to see how it will look from a distance.

so its been a while bits happend stuffed my knee at work, finally got some rego and a new p/s belt also new plugs leads and oil and filter change aswell as a intake. The left hand sill now has a rust hole in it and the sill seems quite weak around the area of the rust. So for now im just going to drive it while saving up some money to try get a replacement car to transfer things over to im leaning towards a wagon.
Also it has a blown muffler wich is getting taken out on tuesday and replaced with a section of pipe, and i have also put my magnums on it (all have brand new tyres) seemed abit of a waste for them to sit around plus the tyres on the xr alloys are quite worn. I think thats all for now ill try get some photos up soon.

alright i have decided to tidy up the body on this patch up the rust and fix the grill before i go any further with this update photos from last update.
intake  on magnums   and a photo from about 4 years ago of my 1964 xm project car shame it was to far gone with rust.  back to this update, with the body work decided a go ahead i chose the grill as the best place to start it basically came off in 3 pieces. grill off  grill being fiber glassed back together   and test fitted back on the car  Its rough but its all back in one piece and is quite strong i should have this finished tomorrow. I then plan on doing the front bumper then the rear bumper followed by the the rear right qauter panel then the passenger side dill then flick some paint on it and colour code the side moulds.

so friday i ran out of sand paper filler etc so i was unable to make any progress over the weekend. Today was pay day so i went and got some filler sand paper and sanding discs and some more primer.
  back qauter is almost done aswell as the grill. the car will be going 2 tone colour chosen for the lower part of the car is EGO. Hopefully the body work will be all done in the next few weeks still need to do the bottom of the doors and the bumpers. Also i will be grabbing el door handles and fuel flap. once its been painted i will be looking into some new wheels and getting some ultra lows wich will finish the exterior of the car.

Or Silhouette. Now you actually have to paint it, otherwise you will look like a bogan.

the mystery blue plug in the engine bay, is for a coolant sensor used by the auto climate control fitted in fairmonts, etc, it there because the engine loom is used in all i6 models.
