Picked these up for a fiver, Skoda Felicia trims, no idea whether I'll use them, just had to have them ?

Not bad condition

If you do use them that will confuse the world!

That means you need to buy a Skoda Felcia to fit them to!

[Noel Tidybeard]

Still have the window surrounds to do.. 

 

[loserone]

Fancy.  I'll have my random back on, it's looking smart now

[DoctorRetro]

Still has the crappy bonnet though... 

I'm going to have to fiddle with the carb I think, it idles really low once warm, about 450-500rpm. Also takes quite a few cranks to start when warm. 

I'll start by chasing any vaccum leaks and I'll add an online fuel filter.

I found this badge that was off the car when I got it this morning. PM me your address and I will gladly post it to you.

Spent some time today doing the black bits around the windows, which was a pain masking up, but worth the effort.

Those trims suit it, which I’m surprised at, as they look kind of awful off the car.
I’m also amazed this is carb, the 92 K reg 1 litre I had last year was injected.

I think it's an early 1992 one. As by August 92 the emissions test changed effectively mandating a catalytic converter and by proxy fuel injection of some sort.

[DoctorRetro]

Amazed it is carb? Then check this out.... 

Oh, and Ladas had carbs up until 1996 ?

I was selling Vauxhalls at this time and the non cat, non inj cars had to be registered by Jan 1993. This meant we had to preregister a couple of Novas before the mandatory rule came in and robbed the Nova 1.2 of 10 bhp! It seems Citroen managed to increase power with single point inj.

Lookin smart

As detailed in another thread, I'm looking at the small holes that need patching for the mot and debating whether to get them done in advance, or wait until mot time and deal with it then. 

Unless it's a catastrophic fail (which I doubt), I'll be making sure it's kept on the road at least another year, so maybe I'm worried for nothing... 

In other news, I'm away for a work thing, staying in a Holiday Inn in Croydon and driving one of these.. 

Living the high life,

I'm interviewing my replacement, I can't move into my new role unless I replace myself... ??

But because the area I manage is/was South London, they have decided that the best place to situate the new person is Croydon...

Are you still in Croydon, someone on the official Shitely site was hoping to have something collected from said Croydon area ?
