Time for an update. The MoT was due last month on the Pick Up, so after a check over, a replacement nearside CV joint was fitted complete with new boots, a new middle exhaust section was also fitted, plus a few replacement bulbs etc. I decided to top up the windscreen washer bottle, and as I did, it fell off, due to the mounting bracket being broken. On further inspection, I found quite a bit of rot on the inner wing and the top of the chassis, so I dragged my welder out, and after a couple of days welding, the Pick Up went for an MoT, which it passed with a couple of minor advisories. Sorry about the lack of photos, but I was too busy welding to take any.

Bought a pair of allycats off a friend, just need to find another pair, then I can refurb them, and fit to the Pick Up once it's lowered.  |

Over the last couple of days I've changed the fibreglass rear for 1 off a later Felicia that I was given as it had no fixings. The old fixings were fitted from the original rear to the new 1 and then it was fitted. Before:-  After:-  And then today I went out to a breakfast club meet at the Limes Cafe on the A614 near Ollerton.  followed by a few photos in Clumber Park, and a side road near Retford on the way home.     |

A small update today. As it was Newark Autojumble today, I decided to have a drive over on the look out for some parts for my friends Morris Minor. Whilst having a wander around, I came across a cheap set of 15" wheels, so I decided to buy them, and fitted them to the Pick Up this afternoon.  The next plan is to fit the lowering springs, and then start tidying up the bodywork. |

The truck is looking well, these were on my radar when I bought the Jumbuck, which is too new for on here, I looked at a lot of caddy/ felicias but didn't want to pay the premium for a knackered grot box.
How does it go with the 1.3 unit?

How does it go with the 1.3 unit? It's a bit slow as a 1.3, but it makes up for that in economy, averaging around 50 mpg on a run. I am considering an engine swap in the future, possibly for a 1.4 16v (100bhp) VW engine. |

Apologies for the lack of updates, but work as usual gets in the way of any major work/updates to the Pick Up, but recently I've swapped the front suspension with the addition of chopped springs, painted the front bumper, finished off my rear bed cover, and painted the 15" TSW Stealths. Front Bumper Painted  Foglights Fitted  Wheel Painted  1 Side Done  The other side wheels are done as well Bed Cover  And last weekend I took a drive up to Penrith for the Cumbria Car Show, where my Pick Up was on the North West Skoda Owners Club stand. It was a great day, which was even better when the stand won BEST CLUB STAND.  |

Next plans are to fit the Ford Focus Coilovers to the front to get even lower, and then a change of wheels, followed by an engine change to a 1400cc 8v from a Skoda Fabia, which should give me a power boost of around 14bhp.

Rather liking that - the painted front end with the lower spoiler looks ace!
Guessing the Alleycats have gone out the window?
