THE_Liam - Octavia VRS - Project Sleeper!

[Jonny b]

Should be easy enough to see broken joints, though I would just touch everything up! but use leaded solder not unleaded that you have to use in industry nowadays it's crap

[THE_Liam]

Thanks mate. It's pissing me off a bit, that's why I'm looking at a project car

[Jonny b]

Nothing seems to be built to last these days!! Not like back in the day ha ha

[THE_Liam]

Partly why I'm hopefully going '70s...

[Jonny b]

f*ck me here we go again!!!


What is it this time?

[THE_Liam]

Possibly a V8 Holden...

Needs a resto, will be a big project

[Jonny b]

Ha ha a vauxhaul then!!

[THE_Liam]

No, a Holden Kingswood mate, from when they were unique to Oz. Not a Commodore though, they were just Senators/Omegas with Chevy small-blocks in 'em

[Jonny b]

Ha ha just pulling your chain bud!!

Anything old with a petrol v8 is a win in my book, good luck

[THE_Liam]

I'll need it! Having a look on Sunday, it's been described as complete, running, but made of rot :o

[LukeD]

Nice jobb on the back seat mate

Nice jobb on the back seat mate

Why, what? I'm confused

[declantg]

Glad you are having problems with it, hopefully it goes to shit, it's what you deserve afterall, for offending my honour.

Really needed?

You've clearly missed all the commotion

[Jonny b]

Ha ha can't someone just ban the nob!!!!!!

[Matt]

I can remove his constructive critism if you wish haha

[Jonny b]

Don't make no odds to me bud, must be lonely being flynn ha ha

[THE_Liam]

Yes please Matt, I reported the post as well with a request for the thread cleaning up

[declantg]

Everywhere i see, flynn is causing sh*t, cant understand why anyone would take time and effort to cause aggravation.

Very nice mate. I could be selling my Fabia in the summer for one of these's....now I can afford the insurance.

De-chrome the grill though. Also thers's a guy on briskoda who makes custom badges of anythng you want.

Heres mine, old skoda design

[THE_Liam]

First thing on my list is an FK exhaust, proper good apparently and only £150 for a cat-back

[THE_Liam]

Smacked the front bumper on a speedbump on my way home from work. This car is not getting lowered...

[Jonny b]

Poof go over em slowly and properly!!! Now slam it ha ha

[Curt]

As above ^^. I've never caught my bumper on a speed bump... Subframe is a different story however. Diagonal FTW

[HDIkyle]

Theres a place in Cas that do automobile electronics but that would still mean car is not useable

[THE_Liam]

I just can't be arsed with lowered cars anymore, I don't wanna go 3mph over speedbumps anymore! Plus, it'd ruin the sleeper-ness of it

And Kyle, I've seen a couple of auto electricians in Leeds and they basically said well have a look but it's 50 quid an hour and they won't guarantee a fix...

I'm just gonna do it myself!

[stevobeavo]

Have you looked at swapping it for a second hand one. could do that, repair yourone yourself then swap back and sell the other one on?

I did mate, but on the Octavia the immobiliser is built into the clocks, so I'd have to get it re-coded for the car to start

[THE_Liam]

Turns out this thing is awesome in deep snow as well, as long as you turn off the crappy ASR. Even the ABS works well!

[Jonny b]

Always turn off all driver aids in the snow, woman up the road from me last year was trying to get up the hill with traction control on!! Watched her for a while laughing!! Told her to turn it off and she got up first time
