Gonna try keep a bit more up to date on this as well. i go away for 4 months in November so its all hands on deck to get stuff done with this car at the moment.

Update on the car. Managed to get a generator to run my welder so have been cracking on with some rust on the rear. Was going to put the axle in but then realised I'd have to take it out again to do the welding. Started on stripping back all the seam sealer in the front wheel arches ready for stitch welding. Will put some photos up later. Also decided on getting a 1.9 diesel gearbox for the longer 6th gear. Progress is picking up again after my minis gearbox decided to retire and send it's bearings into unfamiliar territory.

Working on the fuel pump currently after having loads of other people's cars to fix🙄 found out that the audi tt and the felicia fuel pump housing is exactly the same apart from the level sender. Meaning I can get a fuel pump for a fwd 1.8t car and put it in the felicia. Chuffed with that.

I just copied and pasted it from an email on my laptop. I have no idea. How do I find that out?

Can only see the last photo on my laptop for some reason. It's just a link that doesn't work on my phone. 🤔

So i got my axle back from the powder coaters and it looks mint. Installed a full MK 3 golf brake setup with EBC green stuff pads and slotted rotors. Luckily these told me what way round to put them cos i can never work it out😂 Everything from the stub axle outwards, is golf. Just got to put in the pivot bushes and its ready to go back in after i paint the underside of the car.

Got one of the rear arches painted. Just the rest of the car to go now. Also got my brake calipers painted and mudflaps on. Should hopefully have the axle back by next week. The coilovers are for a MK3 golf GTi. Has been done a few times but you just need to shave a few mill from the top spacer to make them fit with the Felicia top mounts.

Had a couple hours at the workshop today so I got a couple of smaller jobs done and started while I wait for parts. Decided to put my rear mudflaps on because I couldn't help myself and painted one of my brake calipers. Also started working on a rear strut brace. It's a front strut brace from a Volvo S60 that will just need some mounting points made up.

Got some new seats for it. Vauxhall nova Sri/GTi seats managed to make a couple of brackets for the front and the rear bolted straight on. Gonna get them re upholstered in the original fabric

I've got coilovers for front and rear for it so hopefully that should be good enough.

This is my 1999 Felicia Pacific 1.3 MPI that I'm going to hopefully fit a 1.8t 20v Bam in. Modifications I've already done include 15" vauxhall cavalier wheels. Lowering springs Seat Leon cupra front splitter Two rear wings fitted and painted along with both sides of the car because the arches were rusty. And a couple of little bits and bobs along the way. I really love driving this car but I want it to be a complete animal so it's getting 1.8 20v turbo and some handling and braking mods to go with it. I'll be posting as soon as I get the axle back from powder coating.

That is a bit much 😅 hopefully I can find one that someone is breaking. I wish I could bring one back as hand luggage as I'm czech atm and there is a felicia or favorit on every street and many in the scrapyards.

Cheers mate that's good to know. I also thought that the caddys had the 22mms roll bar aswell

Hi there, I am looking to put a 22mm anti roll bar from a pickup on my felicia. Does anybody know where i can get one from? I have tried local scrapers but there isn't any about. Thanks👍
