Morning all, I was unsure of whether to start a build thread for this, given... I didn't build it stonio did and there's a thread already out there, I do however now have it in my possession and following a year of sitting in storage with the PO, I'm going to do my best to make this car... my daily. Crazy I know but I think I need some comic relief from 2020 so if you see me out and about, do wave     Step one, work out why it wont start haha. |

Could be that, could be that very few of the electrics do anything. (No wipers, indicators, brake lights etc etc) Possibly something about how skodas are never at the top of the hill, always at the bottom. Plod on we must  |

Spent a while today looking over the electrics, turns out the fuse box had been getting wet. I’ve had a plastic sheet over the car since it arrived so must have been during transport. There’s a grommet missing directly above the fuse box into the rain/wiper tray, dried and cleaned it up before putting in new fuses, we have life, a lot of blown bulbs. I’ll probably get a new fuse box as this ones covered in what I assume is metal/paint dust from getting rid of the paint  Not the best picture but you can see the hole to the top and the water xD, will redo fuel pump/filter too. I’m not keen on loose lines above driveshaft haha  |

In love with the glass roof... Thanks for the nod but I've forgotten too much from not working around them regularly any more. I can still figure most of it out if I'm stood in front of one but I can't remember enough specifics when sitting by a computer to be much help to anyone. There are people much better versed in them than me |

On hold at the moment, house has had major renovations (live in full rewiring and kitchen) this year which has been drawn out by carpenter going AWOL for 5months :/ Last summer it sprang a huge leak at the rear main seal which meant I had to pull the engine. I did this before knowing I was moving house in Feb (an unbelievable opportunity to live where I work on my cars) so the engine is currently out on a stand having been cleaned up and with mostly new seals gaskets etc. I have yet to make a fuel pump block off plate and do a get a few other bits that I may as well do whilst I'm there. In that time though I have bought and repaired an E46 330ci from drift whip to mot worthy and learnt how to use the diagnostic and program software, got my ej civic up and running then sold for the space, got my Datsun z parts collated and sold/swapped for a Chevy Corvair (house move and renovations means I have a lot less time than I used to for a bigger project) fixed my partner's Audi coupe again ready for sale AND her A2. Surprisingly, for an aluminium car, there are parts that had rusted through entirely oh and swapped my b5 S4 for a car known as datslam. It has been a busy year for sure so far. All this intertwined with a brother who tried to unalive himself 2 months ago. All that said he's back together and we're still pushing forward. |
