Howdy.
In this video I present you the first part of my Dacia 1310 revival project.
I started the car after 6 years of sitting in our yard.
This is a 2000 Dacia 1310 w/ a 1.6L gasoline engine/electronic injection system.
A couple years ago the car stopped working and because of that, dad lost interest in it, didn't take it anywhere to fix it. Long story short, the car ended up in our back yard, slowly rusting away.
In 2020 I wanted to take it to a shop and fix it, but eventually I changed my mind. It was expensive and unrealistic given the circumstances.
But one year later, in 2021, I got so motivated to fix it myself that I tried doing everything I could to make it run again.
And to tell you the truth, I am so glad I did it.
I thank those who helped/were by my side from the very beggining.
I sure have great memories with this car.
It's got something nostalgic to me.
Thank you.
Cannot wait to finish and upload the second part of this series.
And I'll also have some fun with it.
