Another new car for the new year (well its almost a Fiat)

Decided I was bored with driving the run of the mill day in day out boring box. So have enriched my life and daily run to work with this



isn't it lovely

1500cc 83 bhpowerhouse

life will never be the same again
:lol:

The frivolous way you fritter your money around knows no bounds. :lol:

who said I spent any money

I have been x1/9 part spotting on the tank

list so far

Steering coloum switches 1500
instrument panel switches rocker type 1300
heater control valve 13/1500
heater matrix 1500
wiper motor 1500

and that just a quick look

I need to get out more. :lol:

I'll take your Lada and raise you my latest winter project.. :lol:



Fancy starting a Scottish section for Soviet and Socialist cars?

I know its been snowy up there and your all a bit house bound crazy but it seems you've all gone bonkers over winter,
Any one ups it with a skoda coupe sport and im calling the men in white suits :lol:

I've been after a Skoda 110R coupe for years! Owned a few Riva's, a 1500 as well as an FSO 1300 and a Polonez and a Fiat 126. Kinda in the process of bringing over a Malauch at the moment as well.. Hopefully a Wartburg is in the pipeline at some point too, but the holy grail would be a Melkus.. mmmmm

There's an MZ at the back of the garage too, and we're rebuilding a Balkan 250 at work which came from the transport museum in Sofia.

You may need to google some of the above

Here's the Trabbie engine after its rebuild- it was in pieces when bought, with a holed,very seized piston. 5 moving parts in the engine.. 6 bolts and 15 minutes to remove..




Do you want the white suit man's phone number?

Is that an injected one? I'm surprised there were any left up there, when I lived up in Ross-shire, we sent hundreds back to their homeland on all the Russian ships that docked in Invergordon, we ran out of Lada's so they moved on to Granadas and Passats!

Wow, strange things happen north of the border !

Love the trabant that was next on the list if I couldnt get a Lada

Not injected. One of the very first catalitic cars still running the "ozone" carb. The emission control equipment is very complicated, the carb vacuum system is more complex than the plumbing on the Apollo rocket :shock: .

very interesting so of course with it being pre 1993 all the emmision control stuff is getting ripped out and going back to reliable basics.

Always liked the MZ used to have a CZ 125 long ago.

Stick a 2L Twink in it and really confuse people!!

ahh Tiff the twink is everyones first thought. but I am happy with the old 1500 engine. Just need to think outside the box

need to get a MOT first before playing "up the ponnies"

8 valve 2.0l delta turbo :twisted:
