Skoda 110r - Project 130RS K-oupe

The story goes with this fine specimen is that a lady purchased a house and this was sat in the garage, which it continued to do for 10 years or so. She now wants to sell the house so contacted a scrap car removal company to collect said car.

The young lad who picked it up didn't know what it was, so posted it on a Facebook page asking if anyone knew, he had initially hoped it was a Porsche of some description.

He did however, remove the dead cat from the boot area...

It's a a bit sheddy, a lot of the panels are dented, and a fair few parts are missing. This means that it would be very difficult to restore into a nice 110r.

It does however mean that it is ripe for stripped out 130RS conversion. Luckily a 7 part body kit is readily available in the Czech Republic, in 2 flavours - Rally (smaller arches) and Circuit (bigger arches), for about £400.

The kits comprise of

2 front wings
2 rear wings
Front air dam
Engine lid
Boot lid

So we got it home, pulled off the loose panels, junked the interior and hoovered out any of the left over deceased feline.









Not too bad really. A couple of pinholes in the roof probably want lead loading and the rear outer sills are a little frilly, but all in all pretty solid.

The car even benefits from a 5 speed gearbox from a 120L5 Estelle.

It's obviously been loved at some point in its life.

The plans are as follows:-

130RS body kit
1.8 Rover K series, MGTF cams, on bike carb's and Megajolt
Wide track Estelle front subframe
Wide track Estelle rear swing axles
Deep dish 13" Revo 4 spoke or Alleycats
Minimal interior,
Buckets seats
Paint it yellow.

I have its Saloon brother, a 1972 Skoda S100 that I built as a sprint and hill climb car with a fast road 130 Estelle engine, thread here:- retrorides.proboards.com/thread/77286/1972-skoda-s100-sprint-bought

For sale £1250... Advert here:- retrorides.proboards.com/thread/103648/1972-skoda-s100-fast-barnsley

So it is fair to say I know my way around these cars.

I've done a few K series conversions, mainly for club members so that's a known quantity too.

The body panels are rough but as I say, the RS kit replaces most of it.

Happy days!

This is interesting so bookmarked as I love the saloon that's for sale just a shame I'm skint

I used to fancy a 130LR but this is way better !!

You are going for the Circuit arches I trust ...

So cool! Can't wait to see how this goes.

YES YES YES AND YESSSSSS.!!! Go Kieran you lucky lucky lad..
I love the seats will they be staying.??
3 RWD skoda projects on here now thats awesome, when lve stripped the Estelle later in the year lm considering using it as a reshell rally, group b, circuit racer inspired fun machine..
Great work already Bookmarked for sure.

No, seats are going, I'm thinking of buckets more in keeping with the style I'm looking for.

Thanks Raymond, what's your S100 Tarmac car like?

Nice front subframe!

How much does something like that cost? A friend of mine approached MK Engineering for a similar set up, basically lotus 7 replica wishbone and geometry custom subframe.
