BARN FIND ŠKODA 105- Leaking fuel and coolant. 

I really appreciate you taking the time to get some good camera angles and ensuring some good lighting. I think all of those watching your videos, who have experience working on cars, know how little space you sometimes have available to do the actual work, and being able to see what you're actually working on, let alone trying to record it at the same time! You have an incredible patience! Looking forward to seeing more progress :D

Back in the 80s I had two Skoda 120Ls and took both all over Europe. A surprisingly solid, simple and reliable little car, though hardly the fastest! I'm not surprised there are quite a lot of them still in daily use after nearly half a century in parts of Europe, like the Czech Republic. There seems to be a whole workshop industry there making parts and keeping them and other old cheap models like the Favorits going - often as affordable transport for less well off younger drivers who often cannot afford the running costs of many modern cars.

One of the best little cars they’ve ever had

Every bit of progress is a step nearer to the MOT and it's good to see the Skoda again.

Yes! One step at the time. That''s how it works :). Nice to see it coming together :)

I had a 120 and a 130 loved them, in fact the 120 was the first decent car i owned having had enough of rusty and worn out fords, i moved from 10 + years old junk to a 3 yr old low miler,it was bliss.

glad to see you working on this car again and its really in good shape and you just have the normal issues with barn finds and this is a rare car now and it will be worth it when running again as there are very few left now

I love this car!

Nice to see the Skoda getting some love again, it looks like it's almost ready to rumble.

I seem to have the same issues at different times, all with one car. After watching the cinq h/g video I got the 242 running and now I've got that milkshake! Just got the fuel leaks sorted! Oil leaks are free rustproofing!

The cinquecento is not broken, just resting... did fuel hose on my cinquecento today, 8mm internal diameter hose at the fuel filter is the size if you need to order any.

That seems to be the way with cars that have sat so long, new fluids and pressurised systems reveal where the rubber parts have perished, though I'm still thinking the fuel filler was made worse by ethanol fuel as that eats rubber in no time, whether new or old...

The 105 inches nearer completion - I think I may be as excited as you are to see this back as a runner again ! Has the R5 turbo been sold? I couldn't see it in the background and the Abarth is still there so thats my guess thrown in lol

Det da fedt den snart er klar til at komme på vejen

I think the Renault is sold 😁

I was going to say that my 1978 105, for all its MANY faults, never leaked coolant or petrol. Then I remembered that the reason why was because:- 1) I never had enough money to put much petrol in it in the first place 😭 2) the coolant could not leak because it had already mixed with the engine oil due to a warped cylinder head 😡 Strangely, after 30 years, I remember that as being good times.....

Used to be a Skoda and FSO Specslist garage next to my old house and funny enough he was always busy 😄

Its an elephant nest. I'd know one anywhere.....

A bit of a fire hazard underneath

I had a Skoda once... I loved it. It had the most ugly colour in the universe. All my friends hated it. And ridiculed it. My daughter was embarressed.
