Front seats are good, just a small tear to the drivers seat that looks a lot like someone's jumped in with something in their back pocket.
The plastic recliner knob covers are broken on at least 1 seat I think

Not sure which I like better; the pastel/fluro greenish yellow of your sedan as it was, or the orange-yellow it got later!

Thanks for the kind words peeps.
The current plan is to run it on a 1.8 K series, with MGTF cams, 36mm (gsxr 600) mikuni carbs and Megajolt ignition. In Jenns mini I built this set up gives about 145bhp I'd guess.
If done a few K Series conversions into rear engine Skodas so it's a known conversion
A KV6 has been suggested, and it is appealing and may be a future option, but for now I want to be rocking the 130RS Koupe asap! The Skoda transaxle will be on its limit as it is I guess.

Thanks for the kind words peeps. As said, the current plan is to run it on a 1.8 K series, with MGTF cams, 36mm (gsxr 600) mikuni carbs and Megajolt ignition. In Jenns mini I built this set up gives about 145bhp I'd guess. I've done a few K Series conversions into rear engine Skodas so it's a known conversion to me. A KV6 has been suggested, and it is appealing and may be a future option, but for now I want to be rocking the 130RS Koupe asap! The Skoda transaxle will be on its limit as it is I guess. I messaged some Latvian guys last night and have sourced a set of 4x130 to 4x108 hub centric adapters for £140 delivered. I'm looking at converting the front end from kingpins to Mx5 uprights. The ball joints look as if they are workable with the Skoda arms.... Skoda wishbones Mazda btm ball joints

Well more work, or un-work done! Grabbed a couple of shots during daylight hours! Stripped off the wings and front panel. The 110r came with spot lamps in the middle. The 130RS doesn't, so I've swapped a load of bits with a friend of mine (and even more of a Skoda nut / hoarder!) and got a nos S100 front panel. No face! Grotty near side Offside Passenger door that the scrap man mangled on a gate post. I have managed to beat it back into shape a little, I'm thinking Jenns dad should be able to massage it back into shape. Will see. Anyone got a nos door skin....? Interior stripped, cheeky daylight shining through drivers sill corner! 5 speed bulge for the tunnel Skudman thinks the heater box won't fit anymore, but in all honesty I'm tempted to go for one of the new modern dinky heater units you can get now, and mount it under the dash Like this www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/190983218231 As standard the s series heaters are curse word. The motor is in the engine bay and the matrix is under the rear seats. The 100 does a good job of warming up the handbrake but by the time it reaches the dash, it's like babies breath. Skudman advises of fitting additional pc fans to aid flow, so that could be plan b. 2 gripes I have with old cars, curse word heaters and curse word wipers. I'm hoping to attend to both of these failings! Its gotta get worse before it gets better right?!

The wide arch kits are in a 1 month lead time, so in the interim I've got an Estelle wide track front subframe and widetrack rear arms to refurb.
Also messaged a nice Latvian guy on eBay who reckons he can make me 4 hub centric adapters to go from 130x4 pcd to ford 108 pcd for £145 delivered. Or steal my money and run away with a maniacal laugh. One of the 2 I guess!

Now that is a surprising project to turn up, I thought these were now of such low numbers in the UK as to be virtually extinct.

Yes, I had put them out of my mind due to rarity and resultant cost. Amazing what turns up!

Few more bits done New radiator sourced (mk4 escort) And new front panel, etch primed and blown over with the nearest tin of rattle can top coat for protection (Decuma Grey), before we hack it to pieces

Everything I've read about those t7 heaters is pretty good, it's what I'll be using when I get to that stage. Really helpful guy to talk to too. That front panel looks like something off some kind of star wars skimmer or something, it looks mean, in an insectile way.

The parts sourcing continues. Purchased a t7 heater I have 2 widetrack front subframes that both need work, but I'm thinking I can make one good one from 2. Also purchased these.... Modelled by Toby, my 10month old little boy!
