Found the oil filter! Well, what hasn't been shriveled up lol.

One of the smaller but necessary parts of the project - cleaning and restoring switches. I love how these things are put together. I just hope nothing breaks! This is the headlight and parking lamp switch, located on the dash.

After many years of waiting, she cranks over! Fuel pump and water pump removed to rebuild. I will be rebuilding the fuel pump soon, and hopefully get spark shortly after. One baby step at a time.

Another one found... This one was originally purchased in Ohio and sold at auction, and from what I understand, is headed to Italy...

Bid for the chance to own a No Reserve: 1960 Skoda Felicia at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #49,196.

Okay, some status updates. I was able to sand down the ruined pieces painted for the dash, and repainted with positive results. The ignition switch panel and defroster baffles are back in, and look purty IMO. I will put the gauge panel back in next, followed by the glovebox panel after I finish cleaning/polishing the chrome strips on the front. Moving to underhood- new spark plugs and wires are in! I transferred what looks to be a coil wire inline resistor (Tesla branded) to the new coil wire. Next up will be fuel pump, then carb. Let's see what I can get through this week!!!

Out with the old, in with the new! Keeping the hammered oem look, but changing to a dark metallic silver to make Felicia a bit classier 😍
