Richard's mk1 Fabia thread. (Yes, I have a mk1 Fabia problem...)

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

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.

[softscoop]

These are the correct ones aren't they?

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.

 

[Wardy]

Ouch. That's quite a crumple. 

 

Is everyone OK?

[AJ7788]

Wow.. Hope everyone is ok?

[Tomote]

Holy ****!

[BossFox]

Ouch. That's quite a crumple.

Yes, he's still working...

[Copey]

Yes, he's still working...

Ouchhhh :(

Few more pennies on the rarity of the estate then.  Glad the driver was OK.

[BossFox]

So... came into work this morning and found a new resident.

 

[hutchysrs50]

Looks somewhat familiar... :P

[Paul007]

Glad he didn't break it as threatened.

[RobLarby]

There was a queue forming...

[Dark_Hero]

What are you going to do with it then Richard?

I have no idea.

[hutchysrs50]

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

[stevobeavo]

Is this unit 18's old estate?

[BossFox]

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.

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

[Toxicvrs]

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

Only funny because it's true...

[BossFox]

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.
