Finished driving car should be at skodafest this year
-
Fabia project still work in progress, rear cage fitted and seats in, it’s a less is more
-

It’s a bit like an old tamiya rc car changing the shells I gutted the Skoda and topped the tt and welded them together, I’ve got a full cage to go in which will be connected to both shell and chassis for strength. I think doing it this way was the most straightforward, my brother did the same with his firenza, Impreza floor pan firenza body

I can get a wide arch kit from pesch motorsport as a last resort, I’ll see how far I can push the arches at the back, the front should be easier as I can stagger the rear of the wing out and create width
-
In a good or bad way ? Doing it this way meant parts for the running gear is available of the shelf no wiring issues or dodgy driveshafts
-
The tt width and length are within a few inches of the Fabia so centred the wheels in the arches, and centred the body, had to take a few inches off the front chassis legs though, I’m trying to keep the body standard but may have to roll the arches to cover the wheels. electrics wise it’s a case of repinning the lights to suit. I’m no mechanic but it’s quite straightforward being vag group cars more pictures on my Instagram paulthack

Project 4x4 fabia is coming along, bumpers and wings not in final position just positioned for effect
-
Heres my project in the making, just purchased these 2 to make a Fabia 4x4 will post pics as i go not going to be a quick project but the plan is a stripped out Fabia with TT running gear. Already stripped the Skoda Audi next and then the cutting begins
