MIMINO (BABY) - Skoda Octavia Super 1960 
Baby we purchased in 2005. It should serve as a vehicle in the shop advertisement. Instead, it was parked in the corner of Justice adjacent building. There lasted 5 years with candles vypadlými from the engine. There we found him, and after a quarter of my year, we bought it for 6000,-CZK.
At first glance, preserved, except in the grille good condition. Unfortunately, the engine was rusted. We got a new original mask. The brute force engine, we removed the pistons and totally twisted stalactites amount of rust. After complicated negotiations with the seller for the purchase of new parts: rings, pistons and connecting rod bolts pads, we started the renovation. When we dismantled the hapless block engine, with horror, we found that is totally rusted camshaft, including divorce. There is a problem with the exchange of pistons, the replacing of the crankshaft and bearings, cleaning the oil pump and distributor drive. Until the last moment we did not believe that the engine in such a state ever prostitute. And yet succeeded! When you first start the champagne we banged, banged the second exhaust.
It was high time to devote to the rest of the car. Even though she was very well preserved, discovered a thousand little things that give us a hard time. She is the original front grille, a new steering wheel hub, sorting returned under the steering wheel. Lots of suds and beat made from the inside of the car clean area. Revived with electricity, purchased with 2 new wheels, fuel gauge. There was a long awaited day D. We went into the lion's den on behalf of the STL.
After the necessary formalities we were on emissions. Service engineer for the love of old cars and veterans surveyed our rozhašený carburetor. Upon successful completion of emissions we politely included in the queue for the MOT. Light. Quickly sensitive fist blow everything suddenly. Technik baby praised and wished many happy miles.
Began to carry us safely and we hope that he lasts.
Such honors for Baby and his manager - Karla Slámu - was praise from Mr. SAMOHÝL, who is an expert on veterans. And such praise, admit, with warm hearts.
Baby and his crew fought third place in the competition for the cup Count Chotek and first place in the Spring teplické contest held by our club.
