Hello all 👋

Hello all 👋

I’m new to Skoda but I’ve had many many cars over the years. My dad however has had many Skodas (and other VAG cars) in recent years and loves them.

I am and engineer and have a huge interest in classic Japanese cars and modified cars in general, but recently my commute has increased and I needed a cheap and (hopefully) reliable car that does good mpg.

While searching Facebook Marketplace 2 1/2 weeks ago I found a 2010 Fabia 1.6tdi Elegance Estate with a recently lapsed MOT, 173k and full of mud/dog/horse, up for £500!

I went and had a look and found a few jobs needed for the MOT but nothing obviously awful and it looked pretty tidy under the mud, so I chucked him an offer of £350 and he took it!! 😁👌

In the last few weeks I have been cleaning it up and prepping it for its MOT, and I may of been adding a few mods, because why not 😉 so hopefully in the next week or so it will be on the road. 🤞

I’ll do a proper build thread in the Fabia section soon 😁

Thank you ☺️
