[Mr_Bo11ox]

Paging Meatball!!!!! Just what he wants and not far away!!!

Get on it meat!!!

[arthurbrown]

But it's got no MoT!
There's no way he'll embark on a massive turbo-bike-engine-spaceframe-project on one that isn't mint.

[quantum stop]

cant get a bloomin pic on d'oh

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I must say i'm starting to feel the Skoda love somewhat. Thats well worth £100 of anyone's money. Is it running and driving?

Look we can all have dreams can't we.
And ATM I don't reckon spending on anything other than food mortgage and Tesco Value Vodka is a good idea at the minute. Bills still need paying, and I can't see Job Seekers Allowance having a section on the form for "how much do you need to do up old cars now you finally have some time out of the office", do you.


Apart from a bit of sill work, and the gaffer tape holding the door shut, any idea what else it might need for the ticket?

I could mention it to the guys over in the Skoda owners club, even if I couldn't take it on myself. I know that at least two skoda nuts are Oop north one in Ashton (green Estelle and a couple of Favs/Felicias) and one in Bolton somewhere.

I hae to admit, it is far better than my old Estelle (but same colour) That was £85 with a weeks MOT, steel wheels, and original 11 year old Barums. It did need quite a bit of welding.

BTW, is it still on working RIC, or has it been converted to Carb?

[Czechered Flag]

this Rapid came from the SOC forum and it is still a RiC, i may know someone who was interested while it was on there

[skoda_norman]

interested - yes

any chance of me owning it - no



very cool colour though

[skudders]

beige is a weired colour down south for 135 Rics.

There either china blue or regal red or the ocasional white one.

[quantum stop]

go on then buy it be diffrent andy oh by the way welcome to the fourm plenty scud fans on here

[skoda_norman]

i really want this...it'd be soo cool to tool around in especially with the gafer tape on the doors and general rat-y ness of it.

[quantum stop]

if no one wants this I'm gona break it for spares which would be ashame come on guys its only £100 andy

[daverapid]

Are you in a desperate rush to get rid? I don't get paid till the end of the month!! Also it's a long way from here..I'd need to get it transported,but I'm deffo very interested. PLEASE I beg you don't break it!!

[quantum stop]

You're not the only one, It's a bad bad thing - I want to get back into Skoda-ing again ;D

Dave you truly are an addict

[TheFrequentFryer]

I really wish I could have taken it on too, but with the job loss, and less parking than the seller, it wouldn't be a good idea. Plus we have two Skodas (future retro cars I reckon too) in the family.

I have such big ideas, but never any time, money, room, or skills to do anything about it.

If I had the time and room, , I could save the money and learn the skills, If I had the money and the room, I could pay someone to do the urgent stuff, and take time for the rest. If I had the skills and money, I could rent a lockup and take my time. Unfortunatley it seems I'm missing the essential 2 from 4 needed to make it happen.

dave if u get it u can have the doors and wings off mine... swap em over and voila! rear arches don't look too bad....

(id swap em for the back panel off my old one!)

Thanks for that rich...the rear panel is Robs, but I know he doesn't need it so I'll pay him whatever he was gonna charge you.
