Good afternoon everyone, a few weeks ago i had some trouble with my focus and needed a car asap for work. After a bit of searching online i came across a very sad looking Octavia mk1 1.8T 20V 4x4 Estate going for £180. Had 136k and was feeling very sorry for itself. Needed a new Flexi pipe and had a bit of rust on the arches and more so on the tailgate. As i needed a car i thought why not. Skodas have VW engines so must be able to do a stop gap at the least. Picked it up the day after and got the flexi pipe done and also found it needed a rear caliper so now the car sounds and stops as it should, However, my origional plan of using it for a few weeks until i found something else has gone and im away to turn it from a standard estate to a 4x4 VRS estate. I dont have any pictures of it right now as havent had the chance plus its a bit wet up here in scotland. I will get a picture up so you guys can have a look over it and tell me what you think.

Cheers for reading.
