Is the lower dash not meant to br beige instead of grey to match the door cards?

Door cards are grey only the cloth is a yellowy colour to match the seats

[Updown789]

I thought the yellow cloth had a beige lower dash lol, dunno why just looks strange. My fgf was so basic it had the grey seats and door cards lol

It's as it was when it left the factory probably depends on trim level

Fair enough, thought it may have been changed. Looks good though mate, bet you can't wait to drive it

Can't wait is an understatement haha, just hope everything's alright

Insides done bar one bit of trim under seatbelt that broke on removal, need a trip to scrappy this week some time to pick up another.

courtesy lights wired in and dash dimmer and headlight adjuster wired in, got oil drained ready for sump removal again tomorrow once bits arrive, and hopefully get to skoda to pick up exhaust clamps at some point, then getting a key cut and coded tues afternoon, so should have a few good days of testing before the national:)

 

Exclusive stand of 2 for the 1.8Ts? :p Or are you bravely going out on track?

Stock as in the original 1.4 stuff? Or did you switch the stock Ibiza gear over?

No, it was the Elegance spec with the full "Mystic Beige" interior that had the matching lower dash and door cards.

The Comfort spec with the yellow interior is just the centre of the seats and partial door cards.

If you need something to cover over that steering wheel badge drop me a PM :yes:

[TrevorB33]

Oil pump changed, old one looked ok, all back together and still getting low oil pressure when it's revved, definitely not low oil pressure, so must be sensor related, unusual as these never fail, exhaust is on with hidden tips, sounds quiet still some pics

Centre box straight pipe

Back on 4 wheels

[TrevorB33]

Been on a maiden drive today, insurance is all sorted £360 helps being an old git now, got some funny looks with the recirc valve noises:), goes pretty well as is, no abs light on which is excellent, Amber eml because of n249 etc and sai but that will be mapped out at later point, airbag lights to sort still and traction control light on, so needs abit more vcds fettling. did the drivers side door loom so have the elec window working just need to extend the wiring slightly and fit to the Fabia switches. all in all not too shabby

[BossFox]

Fancy doing another?

[Skoda_Saint]

Lol if it wasn't for the week off I had at the start it would take a few months if every weekend I reckon,

You could always donate me a forged 1.8t lump and lsd gearbox, then I'll let you race me round track

[TrevorB33]

Now the major works done and she's roadworthy at least I can slow down abit now, and have a rest/see the wife lol,

[TrevorB33]

just realised its only been three and half weeks since I picked the Fabia up, I'm quite impressed with that, last two weeks I've worked six day weeks too

[Taylor93]

I never had the chance to do one of these conversions hint hint but you've done a good job.

Did you find the source of the oil pressure light? Faulty sensor?
