I'd put National Trust, Camping Club and 'Slow for Horses' stickers on the rear window to fool people

 

And a baby on board sticker too

Small update:

 

My 02 plate FGF (one owner from new!) has been booked in for November for it's freshen up and VRS bumpers/spoiler.

 

FGFVRS.

finally some action, no Offence but there's not been much action in the last 50 odd pages. I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of the sleeper fabia should be an awesome little machine

Blame Bossfox's stalker for the spam pages

That's because it's not a single project so much as a rambling obsession with the mk1 Fabia.

I've gone through a few on this thread and now think I'm pretty well sorted with where I am going.

Could you fit an s4 engine in a Fabia? The twin turbo v6 one?

2.7 with Quattro? If a Citigo can be built with it I'm sure a Fabia can, time to give Ben a call I'm sure he could build one quite quickly

Longitudinal engine instead of transverse I believe.

More work than the Citigo...

Ah that's a shame. Would be epic

Yes, I asked about putting the drivetrain in a Yeti...

Soon changed my mind!

So at the risk of being impatient....We are: 1,737 posts; ten(?) Fabias; one SEAT; a Golf; and three main colours into this thread and as yet still have no picture of the donor car's engine bay ready to receive the 1.8?

How?

Why?

You missed a whole reg. of FG Fabias??!!

[Taylor93]

Sure beats jacks thread of 2,000,000 posts and the first 50 posts covered his mates pulling out the old engine and the remaining posts were ramblings about a clio!

:P

[Skoda_Saint]

You forgot about the mutterings about the vans too!

Many of you may know I like the 1.4 8v mpi engine seen in Richards FGF Estate. It needs some work including plugging an oil leak. While im looking forward to working on the beast im slightly worried. ......

what if the colour grows on me? I mean physically grows onto me like a fungus ?

Can I kill it with fire? Anyone know of any FGF repellant?

Embrace the Fantasy Greenness and enjoy it, hopefully you'll purchase one too , that'd make the Maidstone meet a real attraction.

Yes Taylor... not like you'll be the next Jolly Green Giant is their....
