	Whilst I imagine a lot of people's dream cars are of the Cosworth, RS200, Lancis Stratos, Ferrari, Lamborgini flavour, I've always had tamer tastes. So on Monday saw me and the Mrs (and our little boy 9 month old Toby) take a road trip down to that London to collect this A rather sheddy Skoda 110r. The rare holy grail of Skodas, 60hp, 90mph performance from a 1.1 engine. We even managed a little bit of sight seeing! Now don't think for a moment that I have lusted after a 110r. I think they look awkward, and nowadays they are a bit lame. However back in the day, Skoda realised the potential of the 110r, fitted a 130bhp 1.3 engine, stuck on some wide arches and deep dish alloys, pretended to make 500 for Homologation and produced the legendary 130RS Who wouldn't want a bit of that!

	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!

	Nice Kieran! Before I even had a licence, I lusted after a 110r in that very colour with white Compomotive TH alloys. Good to see how you get on with it. All the best mate

	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?

	Thanks haha, but it's a lot better now. Using Van Diemen uprights instead of the V1.0 Sierra things. Once the fabricator reopens after the holiday, I'll get the last bits altered, then have the hubs redone to suit the Technomagnesio wheels and that'll be done.

	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.

	Well done on saving this car Kieran, I look forward to seeing the progress. What are the front seats like condition wise? I may be interested in them for my Estelle.
