Here's a few pics of my pride and joy, its a 1987 Skoda Estelle 105Lux, with 26000 miles on the clock. I bought the car 3 weeks ago from an 87 yr old chap in Cardiff. Since buying it i have covered almost 800 trouble free miles, the last owner did 73 miles between MoTs. Here's a few pics..... As bought 3 wks ago.  2 wks later with painted steel wheels  At SouthcoastSkoda Estelle/Rapid Meet last Sunday.  As it is now with lowered front suspension and painted minilights   Next to wife's new car at Thoresby Classic Car Show today.  |

Nice work. These skuds always seem to have 100 helium baloons under the bonnet. Thats much more like it.

bloody hell wayne! what a transformation! good taste! Rich Its surprising how quick us S.K.O.D.A.S lot get stuck in to transforming a car, the springs came off my old 120L5. It's even surprised me how different it looks since we collected it 3 wks ago. |

I have a new plan to make cash:
Buy a stock skud.
Take it to france.
Charge foreign types to hide in the wheel arches.

Profit.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Amazing what a difference the lowering makes, as Mr_B says, they always look as though the front is floating away when stock ;D What's next for it? |

Basically everything is done know apart from the few little body repairs needed which will hopefully be done over the winter. The latest/last addition has been the fitting of the clear front and side front and half red/clear rear lenses. |

that really does look hot being petantic, but is the bumper a bit wonky? i reckon some smaller wing mirrors would work a treat too. and just how much wax have you used on it?  |

yeah it looks like both front and rear bumpers may have hit a bollard or something.
Motorsport mirrors would look good on it, and its only been polished 3 or 4 times, its not even had a T cut yet.
