He did.

But then it got vandalised and he lost heart in it.

Which I understand.

 

It had a front corner bump a few months back so it needed to be patched up to get him to work.

And it's not been running right either.

 

All things that added up to a loss of interest, it needing too much spent and it ended up being sold.

It's in the right hands now to see it restored :)

Ive done a head gasket or two :P

There's a 51 plate Fabia Comfort 1.4 at Manheim Leeds you should be giving your FULL attention....It's FANTASY GREEN!!!

TBH it's more work than I expected.

That's why I put hte pics up, I think it was assumed to be knocking out a few dents, smart repair and polish and bingo.

It's not. :D

 

Something to take some time over I feel, one for 2016.

Been a while since anything happened on this.

But I am on the look out for a well modified (high power) Fabia mk1 VRS....

Ideally spec running 300bhp or more.

Good luck! The only one is Jasons Mongrel isn't it?

Didn't Stevo have several 300+bhp Fabia's? :P

Theres a few low milage original ones around, get one and send it off to DarkSide Developments with 'return with 300bhp' note  :clap:

Stock location. Stock head and block type/capacity. Stock gearbox type.

Building your own tintop?

You won't get anywhere near 300hp on a stock head Richard!

How would anyone know if you had a ported head and bored the block out to 2.0?!

I'd love a 300bhp 1.8t :)
