1992 Dacia Duster Roadster

[GrahamR]

I recently acquired this sleeping beauty. The first photo shows it "as found" in a heated garage where it's been for the last 25 years - since it was only about one year old in fact!

 

I'm now looking to get it back on the road and hoping this will be more of a re-commissioning job rather than a restoration as such. The bodywork and underside are in amazing rust free condition.

That's class in a bloody big glass.

[drum]

Holy shit that's amazebollocks!

[RayMK]

Incredible!  Keep it warm and dry.  Even a cup of tea within 10 metres will cause it to dissolve.

[strangeangel]

Not bad for Post #1! Welcome to the forum, and look forward to reading many more updates.

[spartacus]

That's fucking ace! I'm no plate rapist myself but does it come with that reg, it's probably worth quite a bit to the right ego.

More pictures and info please.

[garethj]

I think we need to know all the details; why was it put in there, why for so long and is there a better way to show the world you are one of life’s true winners?

 

Excellent, really excellent

Please keep posting, you've achieved 'LEGEND' status in your first post. Is this a record?

[Parky]

He'll be wheeling out his Sao Penza next - what a debut!

 

I thought that steering wheel was exactly like a Chrysler Avenger but thought I must be going mad so thanks to Felly for confirming that I'm not losing my marbles.

 

Graham can I say two things? Firstly - Dinitrol and lots of it. And secondly....

 

THATS AMAZING!

This has to be the best first post by someone EVAH, the only way this could be trumped is if someone opened with a genuine Maxi diesel, or them driving a Renner 20 TS followed by ISIS, my ghast is well & truly flabbercated
