Thanks for still loving this rare Proton I bought cheap from a salvage auction! If you haven’t watched the first video, you can click this to watch that too: ua-cam.com/video/3N9gt5OXKEM/v-deo.htmlsi=AhtfC0rE6cEI_fH2
In my mind, still one of the best looking little 3 door hatches that nobody knows about. It's great to see it getting so much love on the channel too. Mine used to run a bit lumpy when cold too and it turned out to be a coil pack issue. Hope you do keep it and it'll be interesting to see what the MOT discovers. There was a special edition in this colour and with those wheels called the Spectrum so i wonder if that's what yours is. Jerry again being a legend who never seems phased by the work a car needs.
@@alansimpson835 thanks again Alan you and others seems to be loving this little car! Yes someone told me about a Spectrum edition, don’t think mine is as nothing on the logbook saying so…so I doubt it…
First time I have watchedyou. What a great video! You have a very clear and informative style of presentation. Loving the Proton, a good looking modern car. I will be watching more.
Good to hear that you've kept the original plates. You can get new plates made as exact copies of the original ones to keep the original look, which will be good for shows.
Thank you, he’s always wary of engine “cleaning” though, water and engines don’t mix well sometimes, we recently found that out but said car is ok now…can’t wait to clean it up yes, for sure!
@@Driven247 top tips from what i do know about them, rust is always a huge issue on these cars - behind the bumpers the chassis rails crash bar and that will show huge signs of rust, the rear hatch always has rust behind the plastic number plate holders, take the rear lights out and check for rust inside and behind the rear lights, and they look amazing with the angel eyes head lights , the windscreen is always prone to rust bubbles! And the tappets can always be noisy on these cars until they get a full amount of oil in them.
@@rickoshea1027 thanks, been doing it for year, love UA-cam and big love for all cars to be honest, I’ve owned quite a few and a few rare ones too! I’m UK, down South, yourself?
Yeah, tried to flip a car on UA-cam before, as in, honest with how much I paid for car, how it sold and what I made, got a few nasty comments like your not allowed to sell a car for profit etc although loads of UA-camrs do it! Thanks though Jamie!
@@Driven247id do all that behind the scenes, just sell them and introduce the next project each time. And just document each car, keep the figures to yourself 👍🏻
Having worked at a few motor factors I managed to get some of the old catalouges etc & also do a bit of cross referances on a certain auction website & get my Fiesta parts dirt cheap
I bet there aren't many of those left now - Protons were always underrated machines in my opinion. Yeah, these are based on old Mitsubishi models handed on to Malaysia to get their motor industry going, but I remember when the Satria GTI appeared. Now that was a head-turner and a proper hot hatch - I'm not really into those types of cars generally, but I would definitely have one of those in a heartbeat!
No, I think under 10 of these models on the road…I also owned the GTI once briefly too, that’s on my channel a few years back. It’s a shame Protons aren’t worth the money, for example if that’s was an old Honda civic, it would be. A few people saying how reliable these cars should be etc too! Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed the video. Looks like a cracking little car. Few rust spots I spotted around the rear window that need sorting. One question. How big a turbo can you fit in the engine bay? 😁
Thanks Paul, kind words. Yes, few spots of rust on the roof too…solution I reckon, sand roof ones down, then roof wrap? As for rear window rust, assume window out job? Not sure! I assume it wouldn’t just be a turbo, surely more engine mods would be needed? Thanks Paul.
@@Driven247 not sure how much it would cost, but vinyl wrap the whole car in something like Galaxy wrap. It looks like a galaxy with all the stars etc.
Thank you. Unfortunately I am not sure I can only assume owned by an elderly owner who passed and family got rid of the car…due to the lack of miles suggests not used much and potentially owned by elderly person…would love to know the exact reason! Thanks for watching, more to come shortly!
Yes it might of had the oil drained out being ready for scraped you should of noticed the oil light when you started it good job you didn't run it for long I'm sure wat ever it needs for a mot your dad will sort its easy to do the cambelt on it but the exhaust sounds like its blowing I would do the fuel filter and clean the plugs as well before you take it for MOT a little you should haven't many problems hopefully
Thanks Peter...don't think an oil light came on though...but I am glad I did check it, good idea on fuel filter too, may do that also then, I did think of it but yeah. Thanks for the advice.
Jon Coupland is looking at buying a Satria on his channel, not as nice as this specimen tho, I'm loving this, especially so in this colour and condition. I'm admittedly a bit odd as I love the whole Proton uk range along with older Skoda Felicias, Favorits, Nissan K10 &K11 micras. So you're stuck with me for this series!😂
Yes, seen his collection. Mines clean, but needs to be cleaned literally, holding the engine scrubs up well too! I recently saw someone else purchase a car same to mine, same mileage, colour, spec, very clean car, want mine to be the same ha ha! Yeah, I like rare odd cars too. Owned a few and most are on this channel in videos. Thanks for watching, trying to film weekly videos on this car. Thanks again.
You're not alone - I've had a fascination with the older Protons for years. Owned a really nice Wira 1.5 a few years back, and always fancied one of those Satria GTI things to wind up the Fiesta and Corsa fans!
The reason why people do like Protons l do and l live in Australia and there are a couple of you tubers who have them and l do see a couple of Protons and infact there is a local car yard with a Proton Jumbuck for sale and there are a couple of Proton Jumbucks driving around and that's good that your Proton shares a lot of parts with other vendors as l myself own a 1097 Toyota Hilux and it shares a lot of parts with other vehicles and l have had to get a lot of parts because some of them were 27 years old
