Remove everything from inside

Today i got all from the interior out. I found something funny behind the shelf.

They knew that this car will be exported to Bulgaria. Does this mean “pay special attention” or “just do it”?

I could not start the engine. There is spark in both cylinders, but when i reached the carburetor the smell made me suspicious. It smelled like diesel fuel. So there were 2 liters of diesel fuel in the tank and i added 8 more liters of gas and oil. I drained it off.

I’ll clean the carburetor and will fill it directly to start the engine. I am curious how it sounds.

The condition inside is not bad. I see a small spot of surface rust in the legs of the driver and that’s it.

The floor was treated sometimes somehow.

My wife doesn’t know where a car gets rusty and she shot whatever she liked 🙂

Outside the situation is much worse than i expected.

The rocker panels are totally rusty. I have to replace the front crossbeam too. I didn’t expect this, but i accept it. I will increase my welding skills. In the beginning i taught that i will ask a car mechanic to weld little spots here and there, but when i saw it i decided that it will be much cheaper to buy a MIG welder and remember what i studied at school.

The seats need new upholstery, but this is expected. A 30 years upholstery gets old even if not used a lot. This upholstery covers my goal to keep it as much as i can original. The carpets are OK. I don’t even think of them.

Under the hood i got another surprise – the shock absorber domes. Will be replaced and rustproofed.

Despite the bad surprises, everything is what it should be.
