FSO Cars UK

[RedSparrow]

Are you guys really planning on collecting all the UK survivors you can find?

Because that would be awesome.

A 125p Estate would be my weapon of choice.

Its in one piece now and all the welding on the floors, sills, inner wings and front panel is all complete. I just need to do some welding on the roof and A posts and the shell can be painted. Progress has been a bit slow over the last few months due to the huge amount of other FSO activity going on including finding the new Premises which we move into this weekend So progress on all the cars should be a bit quicker over the next few weeks.

Loving this thread like. I've been thinking the first of the Polonez's would have been badged as a Ploski-Fiat wouldnt it?

We really do have to start searching for a 79 one..........ok so thats a looooong shot so any T-V or a W plater will do.

 

What do you think the chances of finding one are?

Haha! Steve's been spotted

[CYANIDE STEVE]

Hahaha! Busted! Guilty as charged!

 

Excellent pictures Andrew. Thank you. I will save those and treasure them

 

Incidently, this one is due to hit the road on 1st September

Yesterday we took over our new premises.

I got there with the van loaded up to the roof with FSO spares and all the racking in my trailer at about 8.30am and proceeded to unload it all into the workshop first of all.

I then painted all the racking silver to freshen it up a bit.

Richieg hoovered the carpet in the Parts dept/reception.

Once the racking was dry we started to put it all in place and we also managed to acquire a front counter for extra Main Dealer authenticity

 

 

 

The Banner on the workshop back wall. Tomorrow I will be painting the floor once the remainer of the building materials have been removed.

 

I also have some FSO and POLSKI FIAT illuminated signs to go up behind the counter.

Looks good! Will you be attending local fetes with Polenez's stuffed with balloons

You are quite clearly mental. But I'm delighted to see it 

 

Having worked for an FSO dealer I can state with a tiny but of authority that you already look more professional than most of the dealers ever did.

I worked for a Main dealer to begin with then moved on to Head office in tunbridge wells. This was only because even in the late eighties and early ninties I was mental enough to be genuinely enthusiastic about these cars.

[CYANIDE STEVE]

Well, Ive been in the new place for a week now and it seems to be taking shape. Still a little work to do on Monday and then the work on the cars can commence

[CYANIDE STEVE]

In other FSO news. Remember my Caro truck I bought in at least two pieces?
Well now I have bought the truck pictured in the workshop above, I've decided to build the other one as a camper. I don't mean just plonking an old caravan on the back and cable tying it to the chassis. This will be a proper purpose made body which I will build in my garage at home. A few years ago I rebuilt the coachbuilt body of a Mk1 transit camper so this will be a similar sort of task.
I'll leave a piccy of something along the lines of how it'll look.
Oh, and no I still wont be parting with my beloved Iveco camper either. This will be as well as

[RedSparrow]

I like your updates, finding oput what mental shit you lot have been up to!
The light up signs are ace!

[skattrd]

Of course, why not build a motorhome conversion to sit on the back of the pick-up that was cut in half, it makes perfect sense.

Abolutely bonkers - love it.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Above all, this sounds like a WINNING* business proposition. Just imagine the money you'll make from having a monopoly on servicing every FSO in the land!

Completely bonkers folks, but fair play to you all.

[Gold1971]

Just stumbled upon this thread and enjoyed it immensely. I still think it's miraculous that the green W-plater managed to be uprooted from it's long-time Scottish resting place and into the hands of an enthusiast. I wonder if the same will ever happen for the numerous Skodas, Ladas and Yugos in that amazing field of wrecks.
