any burnt out valves on the head? if not it could be sold on :P 

 

these lovely *sarcasm* 1.2 engines had a habit of burning up exhaust valve seats and causing low compression misfires. if you ones a good one, its rare and therefore worth millions of pounds!

It's perfect might make an ornament out of it

Went out this afternoon and thinned out wiring for a few useless systems I.e. Rear wiper, heater, boot release door systems, stereo, heater, heated rear window, airbags.

So I want to get back into a Fabia come May, I've missed driving this one around.

wow, this thread still here?

Yeah, sod all happening, sod all likely to happen until the summer. On the Scots one anyway, hope to have one as a daily driver for May

My mind has been wandering, I can cope with doing Suduko no longer, when the new welder arrives in the next few days I should get the floor modified and sunroof blocked off

A thought about progress? Wow haha

I've been putting it off and it's slipped further down the drive

Got the Welder yesterday, been quite busy today but knocked up a bracket to support the rear window and welded it in, will crack on and do some more bits in the coming days,

Well it all kind of dried up due to lack of time and other commitments, started to take paint off of tailgate, cutting weight out once it's stripped too,

No photos yet but bits of 1.2 HTP engine everywhere soaked in parts wash. Also on the cards, a hippo. Going to collect tomorrow.

So is it a 1.8T project again?

Yes. Eventually, I've got various odd bits in various places and just need to get some time in on this which is becoming increasingly tighter

Well if there's a positive for you Toxic, it's that this is still a quicker build than the Citigo-go-go

But that's had more done in the time :( this is still a shell. Stag should be gone soon so I can get this undercover and crack on

You'll get there eventually when you do it'll be well worth the effort and wait

Fabia bits everywhere, got a skip coming to fill with parts and then once it's empty of spare space, I can fit the rear light covers once I get them back.

Waiting on response for transmission adaptor plate, stuff happening

The original one is having extensive work done the second one needs to be checked but suspect once picked up it'll be a donor
