Stanced XUD Estate (IT'S ALIVEEEEahahaha)

[cwspellowe]

It's either paint or turn up with a roof covered in primer and filler. I'll take my chances. Going to use proper BC/CC though and get plenty of clear so I can get the machine polisher on it.

Engine is being looked at again tomorrow. Think I know the problem though. Heater matrix pipes are kinked so I have more hose to re-route them, the XUD9 has a port on the back of the head for coolant, the XU10 doesn't, it has two separate pipes for the matrix. Think by blocking the matrix pipe the head hasn't been getting coolant and the blockage pressurised it. Might just be me being hopeful but I don't think the HG has gone.

Decided i'm going to concentrate on getting it running tomorrow. As long as it runs, bodywork takes a back seat. Roof will be painted like so:





Might upset a couple if you but me and vinyl don't get on, and the original paint is buggered. Roof's all smoothed off though with a Buick style shark fin aerial at the rear of the car, hopefully be nice and tidy by the time it's done. Hopefully.
