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

      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

    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...

    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?

    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.... ;)
