Skoda Felicia Fun

Oh no that sucks It looks well though   What's the plans when it's all done? Show car or daily?

Cheers mate

It's going to be the daily although its turned out to good to ruin in the winter but il use it wisely and hide it from the salt.

Still have the underside to freshen up and repair the rear jacking points. Hoping to mot it within a couple weeks thou for its near 7 year outing

Well had the pickup on the road for a while now and enjoying it. Had loads if wee bits to do to get it sound since the mot and still got a couple minor things I want to sort.
Mot





Emissions were all good so wasn't bad considering it needed almost everything to start with..
None of the lights worked to begin with so adjusting the headlight was and good one to start with.




Rear wheel cylinders/new shoes and a couple spring kits cured the brakes

The rest were easy fixed so earned a pass with no advisorys😃




Then the list below was done with mostly vag parts
Exhaust rubbers
Timing belt
Water pump
Temp sender (euro)
Thermostat
Oil change (quantum) and filter
New radiator (euro)
The old one decided to spill its guts 20miles from home, so that was a dodgy drive back…
Flushed it then it was back to duties




eBay find















Got the plates from the local skoda garage and the surrounds are the Czech Republic factory ones.









Part of the glass broke for the truckman roof and it needed a handle and lifters etc, so managed to find and take a punt on a ford one from the same year from Cornwall for £50 delivery £65! The rear glass is £365 alone the rest is nla









Gave the Corrado G60 i had sitting as part payment for the paintwork… Do regret it a but I would never have got round to it and I was hoping it would get painted.









Few pics of how it's sitting before the Rms come off



















Back seats open in this one














Found another that's just been bought locally so stopped for a nosey



















Had a cover made for the back from a guy on the skoda forum just need to send a cheque😳 pigeon carrier




Also have new hardwood straps on the way cut to the same spec for the bed.




Seems to be a marmite mobile   :laugh:  :haha:  

love this    

Awesome little project.

Do you still have the BBS wheels on this, cause one drove past me yesterday on the M40 and the reg looked very similar!

Yeah they're still on it, I'm in Scotland mate so I hope it wasn't mine

Well this one had the original wheels on, so not yours - did you run outside to check though haha?

I did have a peek out the window just to make sure

Looks great, some difference when parked beside the standard one  

Chris that's turned out amazing! Such subtle mods but perfect, it looks the danglies  

Thanks Desperado and cheers Hairy means alot guys.. 
It's good to save these old motors from the scrap heap. Even better when they turn out better than they were new

haha awesome..... ive been looking at the felicia cars recently, can be had for pocket money with low miles, what they like to drive?

It's a great wee motor to drive! Was like a Rolls Royce before I lowered it but I just tell the mrs it's like her wearing high heels, nice to look at but not as comfy! 

Well it's been a year since its been on the road and all has been going well.. Apart from a genuine vag water pump collapsing after 6k.. Which ment the timing belt etc had to be done again but ll is good now!

Still been tweaking with it over the time with wheels and small things..

Bike hauler


Got some hardwood cut identical to the original


Had some 17s on it that Iv had laying about for a while




Was keeping my eye out for something different on the wheel side and took a punt with a set I seen on gumtree 





16x7 fronts
16x9 rears

Trial fit, was still unsure and needed 5mm spacers on the rear to clear the struts.

Had some custom centre badges made up to the dimensions needed 







Wee trim


Fitted


Had the rear plinth colour coded and a cover made from the fun club








Really chuffed how they turned out and will stick with them for a while

Also fitted a wee eBay find






Need to tweak the angle slightly but was surprised at the quality of the image with it..

Not sure what to do to it next…?

Like the door lights - thought you had gone and sprayed your drive for a moment!  Wheels really suit the car, miles away from the original yellow ones.

  yeah it does looks like a stencil!
Iv been using it as a van daily and it's been great!

Good for the dump runs
