Copied from my thread on caddy forum
After constantly putting miles on my fabia and ruining the interior travelling to work everyday and trying to use it as a van, I've took it out of daily use (a 20v will be on its way in the new year)
I decided it was time for something more economical and good for my business...
So after much ebay trawling i came accross this 159k T+T for 4 months and a non start problem....
Minimal rust and solid underneath needed a few bits but at the price i paid (stupid cheap think scrap money) i was chuffed. Dragged it to my unit and begun work. Solved the non start problem, it needed new glow plugs they weren't even heating! So decided to run it for a few days, got myself a list of things to do and got ready to get cracking!:td
In the meantime this came in with a snapped engine mount and cracked sill and chassis!!! It was stuck in gear but a quick crowbar between clutch pedal and seat soon made it mobile. Beware though guys this is a taxed and tested Y-Reg which had been poorly repaired post accident. I found this when stripping the nose as half the panels were non genuine! So after an accident don't just panel it and forget!!
So i think you can guess where this is going! Snow stopped play last night as at 11pm it was freezing -7 at my unit....
Going back down in a bit to crack on with the brakes, going to fit all new as theyre not the best and i need to use this everyday... going to keep this up to date as i need this done in the next week and ready for sign writing....
well the weathers slowed me a bit heres a pic from the other day, its now running mk3 ibiza mirrors aswell, just got a mk2 ibiza in at work with s seats and coilovers so its definately going down over christmas with a beam flip and front coilies, ah well heres the pic
i've also fitted all new discs and pads at the front, new rear wheel cylinders and shoes will follow in the week
New Rims need a clean lool
MK3 Mirrors
New wheel, got a black carpet to go in when i fit me seats (got some tan leather e36 bmw ones)
Just to show use of mk3 panel etc and i know inlet pipes off its because i ordered some plugs off a guy on another forum and doesnt look like theyre coming i knew a tenner was cheap ah well 36quid on some new uns it looks as im sick of eazi start i'll have no rings left in it soon..turbo excuse anyone
