What did the car start out as?
It was a 1.2 Nova Merit, 2dr saloon.
When and why did you first start thinking of building an estate?
I've had the thought floating around in my head for years, but when Baxter made a photoshop of how my car would look it had to be done!
How long has the car taken to build?
The actual bodywork modifications only took 24 hours to do - but making it look "right" took a month of solid hard work.
Was it any harder or easier than you thought?
A lot lot harder than i thought. I dont plan to build another one, thats for sure!
What was the biggest obstacle of the build?
I'd say the biggest obstacle was getting the roof right, as the rest was fairly straight forward.
What reactions have you been getting from people?
The reasctions have blown me away, I honestly cant believe how many people stop for a chat or to take a photo; especially at TOTB, when there were far nicer cars parked all around me.
What future plans do you have for this, or your next car?
Future plans for this is to finish a few niggly bits, then sell her on so I can spend abit of money on my other saloon.
