Stanced XUD Estate (IT'S ALIVEEEEahahaha)

[cwspellowe]

Right, deep breath. Massive update time.

Firstly, a few days after the above pics were taken, I was approached by Neil (staff writer from PFC who stays up my way) to enter the car for the Meguiars Top 15 at the PFC French Car Day at Knockhill Racing Circuit on the 16th (last Sunday). I was sceptical given that the estate was a bit rough up close but thought what the hell, I missed FCS so why not stick the estate in the pot and see what happens?

Nothing happened for a while. Apart from dodging some broken glass outside my sister's house and kerbing the NSF wheel over half way round. Bummer. I then got a message from Jillian on Facebook saying to get it sorted sharpish as it'd been picked for the "styling" category in the Top 15. Bollocks.

Also between then and the show i'd put in for two days' overtime plus my normal shifts, so I actually only had two full days to prep the car. Me being me, I decided to not only fix any problems but also fit a roof spoiler from an Impreza WRX wagon for a bit of love-it-or-hate-it ducktail action.

The result? Lots of late nights, lots of filler and paint and lots of "wtf am i doing?" moments.

Here's some pics to give you an idea of what i've been up to...











Safe to say, we made it, but not without plenty of near misses. More to follow..
