Car Fix DIY Videos

I’d like to dedicate this episode to my grandpa Kolya. On May 3-d, 2017 he would have turned 93.

I have no doubt that it was thanks to him I once discovered a passion for automobiles, although it happened many years after I had been witnessing him taking utmost care of his Moskvitch 408/412IE to keep it in running shape.

His love, care, spirit and determination will not be forgotten…
