Well Finally its time to write a thread on my octavia beast.

Bought for peanuts in this sorry state.

But fully restored to its former glory

Spec.

2001 51 reg Octavia tdi 110bhp elegance

Bamboo interior

Maxidot dash pod

No rear seats for maximised tip run capacity

Running 100% home made biodiesel Cost peanuts to run

And here she is parked next to my other machine

This car is an absolute machine! 186k and still on orginal clutch and turbo!!!! i think it just might run forever and forever!

Top stuff matey!

Glad she's still running well - the two look good together. And that interior is just epic

Tar :P

I like the interior now, its grown on me, that or the fact both front seats have covers and the rear seats are in the bin

Need to get both red octys together for a photo shoot

Just name a place and time and I'll be there with the camera gear

You've done a great job on getting the car up and running again John

Good to see the pics, but the car has to be smelt to be fully appreciated!!

Eau de donner FTW

Yay! 10k in three months - you don't hang about! Yes it was peanuts - humm, car or PS3? Tough choice.

If I'd been mechanically minded I'd have kept it. My brother and I were even thinking of getting a Biodiesel kit (and him swapping his V8 Disco for a TD4). But I'm cack handed at that kind of thing, so I left it to a pro

I've bought a Smart CDi now. *ducks*

Edit: and I won't hear anything against the interior. It's ivory / black and it's so much more cheerful than black black and more black.

This is a total beast!!!!

That pressure washer is amazing, it's straightened the wing & replaced the headlight!

Is it one of those cheap Aldi offers, or a posh B&Q one?
