robt100 Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Has been posted over on the Skoda forum for a while now, but needs to be gone by the end of this week, seems a shame to just scrap it when it could be a decent project to get running again. Though it may be of interest to a few on here.

worldofceri Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 Shame, I am just up the road so any other week I could have scooped this up and roffled off at £2.50 a go or something, but too busy I’m afraid to get there before next week. AnnoyingPentium, Marm Toastsmith and comfysofa 3

Lord Sterling Posted August 14, 2023 Posted August 14, 2023 I'm in Brussels otherwise I might have been tempted. Given the way the bastard Peugeot has let me down, I could do with my own back-up car to take abroad.

Expand Fuck I'd have had a transport quote off you for that as well but alas payday and the deadline for this car don't match up. I'd really like it but finances don't allow at the moment.

comfysofa Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 I would absolutely adore this, i have £100 but sadly neither the time or skills to recommission it...
AnnoyingPentium Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 Also as an aside I have a shed's worth of parts available for anyone on here who may buy this car. gadgetgricey 1

gadgetgricey Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Hope robt100 does not mind me saying, but now all passed and MOT'd. Just a couple of advisories for front tyres. Well done Rob... yes oui si, robt100, AnnoyingPentium and 4 others 7
robt100 Posted August 29, 2023 Author Posted August 29, 2023 Thats great news! Given the listing on Briskoda I was a little concerned it could end up being a bag of worms. thankfully it did what early 00's skodas do and just work. Floatylight and mk2_craig 2
brownnova Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 Moved this over to the main board as it’s now a thread of updates.
robt100 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 @dcd1979 Hows the Fabia doing? Time for a 3 month update! AnnoyingPentium, Marshall2810 and Rocket88 3
