Cracking looking car m8, I love the colour, they new badges as well?

 

New Skoda badge on the back, new one to go on the front when this is done...

Looks great in real life & sounds great too😉

VRS kit has transformed it.

 

Just needs a black rear view mirror now I reckon.

It’s on the list with the missing drivers side a pillar trim and black door seals.

2.0 - 1.8t?

Any chance I could pick your brains sometime about the additional wiring for a 1.8 swap? Got an AUQ that I’m probably going to strip and rebuild during this corona virus stuff. 

 

Love the the colour of the wheels btw sit really well with the car colour 👍🏻

A donor is by far the easiest and most reliable method of swapping.

Ow yeah I’ve seen I just intend to rebuild the block with forged rods, new rings, bearings and so on. Then pick up an Ibiza and swap everything else over. I’d just rather not have to take the dash out tbh lol

sounds good. The standard AUQ cambelt tensioner is different to the BJX and the mounting and covers don’t quite fit right. 
 

and taking the dash out is the easiest of all the jobs tbh. Depends on what wiring harnesses you choose to use.

Can I PM you? I don’t want to ruin your thread that I am sure other people than enjoy watching/reading lol

Stunning, wish I had your level of skill. My Fabia looks like a joke right now and COVID isn't helping.... Loving the gold rims, takes me back to the days of the WRC Impreza

This is a great project Ross.

 

The vRS bumpers and colour coded grill really do lift the car, and the Fabia Sport seats IMO are the the best looking seats for the mk1. vRS bolsters without the stupid fabric.

 

Shows how good a mk1 can still look. Hard to believe it's now over 20 years old.

A little update to the project, audio needed finishing.

 

Made up a box, then thought although within spec for the sub, I may have over done it a bit.

 

 

So resized and made a top for it.

 

 

Little window above the amp and cross overs

 

 

Upholstery wadding to give it the soft furnishing feel.

 

 

Faux leather vinyl material, in a subtle gold to tie in with other features on the car.

 

 

Some red LEDs to add some bling

 

 

Sith vibes

 

 

And then made a small modesty panel just to hide the wiring, pics of that to follow.

Spoiler painted and fitted on, a good clean and ready to sit on the drive for another week.

Love the combination of that colour with the gold wheels which suit the car so well. Top job as always.

[Tech1e]

Not much in the way of change of late, just a deep wheels off clean.

Its a car that looks probably better than new, always liked that colour and the wheels go really well, grill looks very smart.

This looks really nice, I'm hoping to be back in a Fabia soon. 

 

I've been using EZ Car Care stuff for a while now and I'm pretty impressed with it. The Viper wheel cleaner is awesome.

I agree, I keep on top of my wheels anyway but it does make easy work, non acidic too.
