Are you a masochist, perchance?

Evidently.

Does it require any proper fixes?

What is it?

Just a few, luckily!

It’s a car-like product from Poland’s own FSO!

It’s like 1/3 of an F150 :p

It’s Awesome-ski that’s what it is!

Looks good! In a generic 80s-90s Euro hatchback kind of way. That means the oddball stuff must be mechanical. Good luck!

Will it rally? Is Jesus going to be your co-driver?

I dig the hatchback configuration!

It’s got the right transmission and I think “door card” is an apt description for those velour coverings.

What kind of engine does it have?

1.6L OHV FIAT-derived with Single-Point Fuel Injection! :P

Is that a Momo steering wheel or a knock-off?

It’s not a Momo and it never pretended it was. That’s just how the steering wheel looks in one of those (unless you got the optional 3 spoke).

It doesn’t have much in common with contemporary western European hatches. It’s RWD for starters.

Caros rallied too!

It’s actually really good on terrible roads thanks to a tall and very soft suspension. Handling is a different matter though. :P

Trunk and engine pictures?

1.6 petrol with fuel injection and it's done  just over 35 thousand km.

I think 2 tops. :p

Trunk is a mess so no picture for now. Here’s the engine:

1.6 OHV 4 pot with single point fuel injection.

Why are the pedals all squished on one side?  Looks like there is just a TON of room to the left of them...
