So you still have the 1 FGF, just to keep your FG itch satisfied? :)

      Bryan has hit the nail smack bang on the head.   I am looking at what I need.  Which honestly is err.. nothing. With the mental Citigo, quick Yeti VRS, practical Yeti and a Jap car or two I've alre

      Have been seriously considering putting the VRS lump and box from Pasty's Red Fabia in the Fantasy Green Beast for a few weeks, but looking into the costs of getting sensible power (220bhp+) with supp

    Yes, still got one. :)

    Had a few things sorted on it, some paintwork and a little rust spot removed properly.

     

    For a 14 year old Fabia it's in pretty good shape.

    Just need to dig out some better wheel trims.

    One less FGF on the road then... thanks to an Audi A3 jumping a junction.

    Lee's old one that went to one of my workshop staff.

    Ouch. That's quite a crumple. 

     

    Is everyone OK?

    Wow.. Hope everyone is ok?

    Holy ****!

    I heard he was going to paint it fantasy green and put a 1.8t in it but it's all just rumours...

    No, this is GWFC's. Different silver Fabia Estate with transplanted VRS engine bits and 6 speed.

    There were two silver VRS estates and Matt's one (Dark green IIRC) so there are three out there that I know of.

    Edited by BossFox

    Matt's was grey. The rear bumper is now in your possession Richard

    That silver estate is stunning, assume it's not bagged anymore?

    Have gone over the estate.

    For anyone expecting a quick tidy up... it's not happening.

     

    Running wise the car has a boost problem.

    It also loses a bit of water.

    Ride is also pants. (personal opinion)

     

    Bodywork wise it has several very deep key marks that don't show up well in photos.

    As well as many dents like these on the door.

    That's not going to polish out.

    Neither is this...

    If it's going back on the road it needs a few panels, some time in the body shop sorting the dents and then a complete respray IMO.
