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 |
