Anyone want a felicia? or require parts?

[SeanQ]

Acquired a felicia in the south last week. Petworth to be precise.

Only needed a few parts from it, namely both bumpers, and the instrument panel; along with perhaps a few minor things.

Battery is dead, drivers key barrel rolls, small amount of mould formed amongst the interior.

Fairly tidy shell, no serious surface rust that i can remember, but a few of the crevices seemed to have started suffering possibly.

Only looking for scrap money, or I can remove parts on request. Has to go by the end of Monday.

 

Its a Silver 1.6 Petrol Facelift.

 

Thought it'd be worth voicing it rather than sending it straight to crusher.

 

Let me know,

Kind Regards,

Sean

07957463703 <-Feel free to remove this is its doesn't adhere to the rules.

If it's a 1.6 it should have a sunroof. If you can get it out (the screws can seize solid) I'd be happy to come and pick it up. Where in Herts are you?

[SeanQ]

Yeah its got the sunroof, Wasn't damp inside, and can't remember seeing any cracks so should be fine.

Im in London Colney, St. Albans. its Watford way, junction 22 of the M25.

[Yoss]

Yes, I know London Colney. My friend used to run Routemaster buses round Watford so I sort of know the area. Like I said, if you can get it out I'd be happy to come and collect it and give you a few quid for your troubles.

It's the surround I'm after mainly. I want one to refurb as mine has started to corrode but as it's used every day I want to swap it in one day.

Cheers.

I am after both cl motors from front doors willing to collect and make the front drivers seat willing to collect in my go kart felicia if possible

[SeanQ]

No worries, so you want the drivers seat, and two motors from the door? Post was a bit confusing

[uma1998]

I am after the cl motors and front seat and possibly the steering wheel what's a price collected I don't mind helping to taking stuff out

[SeanQ]

Say £20 depending on the condition of the seat/wheel? If you give me a call/message to the number above ill let you know when ill be heading down there. Im just about to give the scrapper a ring to find out when they can pick it up.

Feel free to come down & lend a hand or just collect from there. Not sure which is closer to you, its about 70miles from me.

Regards

[SeanQ]

This is set to head to the crusher around 3/4oclock, if anyone has any requests for parts, or wants the remainder of the vehichle, its probably best to contact me on my mobile.

Ill be heading down the for around 12oclock.

It unlikely, but id be open to swaps if prefered on any parts.

[Yoss]

Hi Sean, did you get the chance to get the sunroof out before it went?

[SeanQ]

Hi, apologies for the delayed response. 

Man was it a terrible day.

A few things held me back in the morning so didn't get there until gone 13:00.

Cracked straight on with the bumpers, rear came off pretty much hassle free. Most of the nuts/bolts simply snapped they were so brittle.

Whilst there, noticed the exhaust rubber was fresh, and I was in need of one. Turned out the back box itself was pretty recent, so quickly removed that. Boy had a cowboy fitted it! the old clamp was reused, so rusted through though that one of the prongs had sheered off, not even an exhaust paste job. the thing pulled straight off.

With things going well, I move straight to the front. the main four nuts remove fairly easy, then came the ones behind the fog's! Whoever thought putting a cap head bolt threw with one of them dished bumper washers was a tool. The left side had corroded enough that it provided enough resistance against the nut to loosen the thread. The drivers side just kept rolling and rolling. 

I set to work inside the car to try and make some progress. 

Drivers seat out with no issues, so I move on to he sunroof..

Them screws! Eventually from out of the 15-20 there must have been, I was down to six. A few different heads, and a bit of perseverance and I eventually managed to get down to one or two, but these were in for good, and I hadn't taken a drill. So a fail on that one, sorry.

During the breaks between seized screws, I began on the drivers door, I was pretty certain that I had located the central locking motor (large black contraption tucked into the bottom right corner?) This was tucked right down in to the panelling however, and I couldn't for the life of me work out what sequence of removal was required to free it. So again, that ones a no, sorry. Although I'm pretty sure after testing it, that the drives side wasn't functioning. 

Didn't get round to the steering wheel, apologies. Tackling an airbag in a rush wasn't something I fancied jumping in to, as I haven't handled one before.

Ended up snapping the rear fastening bracket to the drivers fog, but wiped out a the headlight lens in the process!.

 

Whilst all of this went on, The scrapper turned up an hour early, said it was meant to be a toyota?! Said he'd come back, never did, driver hung up when called, boss said Id started stripping it so it was no good. Everything was said on the phone that morning! 

By this point, its 16:30, no where wants it again, scrap metal merchant needs 3 days, only other person willing wouldn't lay out funds, but they'd collect free.

 

So, to summarise,

I left the scene with Uma's drivers seat, two bumpers, and a back box.

Meanwhile, I still have a felicia sitting dormant, awaiting its fate.

 

Sorry that i wasn't able to succeed with your requests, it just wasn't my day!

[SeanQ]

So, If anyone would like a felicia, and has a means of collecting it.

Feel free to give me a ring. 

It's a silver GLXI, 1.6 Petrol.

Ill be calling the independent fella tomorrow lunch time to see if he'll still take it if not; although I might see if he's got any motors with a pair of 80mm black and silver badges as a trade... 

[Yoss]

Ha yes, I know all about those screws. Two of mine are seized solid and one of my screwdrivers shattered trying to remove them. Then I broke two more screwdriver bits trying to get one out of a scrapyard. Like you I didn't have drill with me and when I went back (admittedly a few weeks later) it had gone.

I now have few spare screws so it doesn't matter if you have to drill a couple out.

So is this car outside your house or somewhere else? If it's still there on Sunday I'd come and bring a drill with me and give you a hand with anything else you might want to get off. I realise you want it gone before then but that would be the earliest I could make it.

Anyway, thanks for trying and keep us informed.

Cheers, Yoss.

[SeanQ]

Hi Yoss,

They're a nightmare! haha, by the time you get to the last couple, the seal goes, so theres no force resisting against you. I think thats the killer.

 

This is the situation,

Im in herts, cars in surrey. its about 70miles from me.

Its on a small residential street, guy sorn's it in september, hadnt been picked up, so rather than lay funds out getting it back to me, I just travelled there, and was going to take the bits I wanted when exchanging funds, and move it on to the scrapper from there. Things didn't go to plan.

Im pretty confident that its safe sitting there, but the previous owner keeps hounding me to shift it, if though I've given him the funds and signed on the dotted line. Even said he'd call the authorities and have them take it. Don't understand it myself but hey ho, at the minute its just leading to me loosing money.

 

Ill see what I can do,

Thanks,

Sean

[Yoss]

That does sound like an awkward situation. Most of Surrey is even closer to me than you are but still couldn't get there before Sunday unfortunately. But if it is still there and you're around I could come and help. Whereabouts in Surrey is it?

[SeanQ]

Tell me about it,

Its in Petworth, GU28.

[Yoss]

Ah Petworth, know it well, it's on the A272, one of my favourite roads. I'm not surprised the guy is upset, your spoiling his lovely picturesque town (in his mind). The town centre seems to consist entirely of antique shops, tea rooms and and bespoke gentleman's outfitters, that kind of thing. Personnaly I think the odd abandoned Felicia here and there brightens the place up!

[uma1998]

A frame it to where is needed to get cl out the door remove all door locks

[SeanQ]

Quick update, V5 came today, so should have it weighed in sometime around thurdsay next week.

Im going to try and source the necessary parts for the 1.4 aft conversion before it goes, so if anyone does need any parts, ill be there at some point to remove them. 

If you're not far, any assistance with removing couple of the bits I'm taking would be greatly appreciated and more than enough for you to take anything you need.

[skodanorman]

Would it be possible to get a window winder and the two hook cover from the rear bumper?

[SeanQ]

Yeah no worries, two hook cover? you'll have to run me through that one.

Cheers

[skodanorman]

Auto correct!! Tow hook cover in the rear bumper.

[CrazyRed]

If it's a 1.6 it should have a sunroof. If you can get it out (the screws can seize solid) I'd be happy to come and pick it up. Where in Herts are you?

Hi,

 

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but I have a Mk2 Felly in a garage that I am breaking at the moment - and it's fitted with a sunroof that looks to be in decent condition and leak free!

 

Are you still in need of said sunroof or surround?

[Yoss]

Hello, yes still interested. Where are you? Just says United Kingdom above which is a bit vague but I'm happy to travel a fair distance if need be.

Cheers.

[CrazyRed]

I'm in North Kent, near to the Dartford Tunnel.
