My Skoda Favorit thread. Rear wiper fixificated!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well i've bought the fuck out of that white Favorit, and would you Adam N Eve it, it's only from the same main stealer as the Felly! Got a fair bit of cosmetic work to do on it, along with sorting a spare wheel and tyre, and sacking off the 'Gary Boy' side exhaust. MOT'd til November, and sorry no petrol station shot cos when i collected it, it had 2/3 of a tank of juice! Drives nicely, pulls well, and has some LOL-age stickers in the back window

 

At it's old owners in Braintree

Lovely. Those photos demonstrate just why I dislike the Felicia so much. Smoothed the corners off a lovely design and destroyed most of the character in the process.

Molto smashing Felly, I do like a Favorit.

Looking forward to seeing this in person.

Snappy snappy snap snap

WIN!!!!!!!!

 

I burst out laughing when I saw the numberplates and dealer stickers, and SWMBO gasped, and couldn't believe it. This car was a fucking steal what I paid too, I won't reveal the price sadly, as respect to my friend who sourced me it, but put it this way, I'd have been a complete moron to say no!!!

Looks great, but lose the side exit exhaust as a matter of some urgency! :)

Posted

That will be sacked off next month mate. Need to sort choonz too.

Posted

IT NOW HAZ CHOONZ!!!!!!! Went to Argos and got an elcheapo CD player with aux input

Posted

Be interested to hear how it drives etc, as I've the van version awaiting recommissioning (if/ when I can find a use).

Posted

It drives quite nicely Nigel, cruises at 80-85 a treat, it's just a tad noisy with the Gary Boy exhaust, reasonably comfy, just getting used to the keep fit steering, as I've been used to PAS for so many years

When the 'haggis' Ex went on my 130 Rapid, I was in Weymouth... I drove up and down each week on Mileage Expenses... so I called at the local Ex place and asked them to 'improve' the Exhaust arrangements.

 

... they welded the twin down pipe into a y-fork.. added a short spaghetti 's'.. and lobbed on a Mklll Cortina back box (likely mouldering on their shelves somewhere). Fitted completely under the splash plate no cutting/bodging.

 

I was very happy with the outcome   :-P

That video should be on Xhamster. That is all...

Went to Clacton today, spotted a scruffy Fav estate on the way down, then took a photo outside the original supplying dealer.

Indeedy mate. Needs loud music to drown out the boom from the exhaust

Posted

Hubcaps on their way for it, as well as spare wheel, parcel shelf mounts and parcel shelf repaired in true Autoshite style, using bits of wood and lots of screws, and old shoelaces which would make any gifferbodger proud. Photos tomorrow

Posted

Reminds me of the loaner Favorit I used to drive. It was really quite nice, drove lovely. They scrapped it because people didn't like driving it! Shame.

I'm well happy with it. It will get cleaned up and the broken bits sorted as & when funds allow. I also found the original toolkit in the boot, which has 2 spanners in, a box spanner, Philips/flat blade screwdriver & wheelbrace, still wrapped in the tool roll. The jack is missing though :(

Posted

Done a bit of 'gifferbodging' to the parcel shelf area, as it was seriously fubbed. Note the use of lots of wood and screws and matt black paint!! Also gave the rusty quarterlight strips a coat of paint too
