More Eastern European Cars! I've Bought A Yugo!

[Andrew353w]

Dear All,

 

Been a bit quiet of late, as I've been having terrible problems obtaining new garage premises, after my old ones, which I've rented for 10 years were sold to a firm of property developers. For those who remember the pictures of my Lada, the scene will never be repeated. Enough of this self pity! I couldn't resist this:

 

 

It's a 30,000 mile Yugo Tempo, with very no rust underneath at all! Apart from a slight bit of rust on the gutter, it's just perfect! Once again, it's a "barn find", well garage find, to be technically correct. The owner has been told to give up driving and therefore had to get rid of the car. I found it on Fleabay and the seller took it off the site for a BIN price that was mutually acceptable!

 

 

I recovered it to my new lock-up, sprayed easy start in it & jumped it (the battery, that is!) and it fired and ran!

 

 

It'll need new bumpers front and rear to tidy it up, as well as a full service. The tyres are the original "made in Yugoslavia" ones.... Somewhat worn, to say the least!

 

 

I'll keep the Autoshite community up to speed on developments. I LUUURVVEEE it!

Yes. Yes they are.

I love the angular front on this, and the way the bonnet drops down to meet the grill. Very 70s! Bet that would look a treat with chrome bumpers.

U R WINNAR

 

That must have been one of the last to be imported I'd have thought?

Hi Andrew love your new project I had that on my watch list

 

I just bought the Polski Fiat Estate that was on ebay.

 

Was gutted when you never got back to me after 2nd refusal on the Lada, Glad your man eventually came through for you tho.

 

Enjoy the new project.
