About

Hello, my name is Lubo and I am an amateur renovator of old motorbikes, minibikes and cars. I've never been interested in these things until I saw car renovations on Youtube, then I thought, I'll try it myself as a self-taught person and I've made it here :) to a million subscribers. I hope I won't disappoint you and I'm looking forward to new challenges ;)

Video Description

Today, we bring back to life a 1990 Karosa retro camper, abandoned for 3 long years. This old camper has an incredible history โ€” for 15 summers, it travelled every year to the recreation area Domaลกa, where the owner and his family camped the entire season. These were unforgettable moments: long summer days, water, campfires, holidays, and family memories that turned this machine into a true heart project. For sale: https://auto.bazos.sk/inzerat/184392986/obytny-autobus-karosa-734.php The bus also served as a motorhome for racing trips, where the owner used it as a fully equipped living space on wheels. Today, this giant motorhome, almost the size of a two-room apartment, is still fully furnished โ€” like a time capsule from the 90s. ๐Ÿ‘‰ In this video, we attempt an extreme smoky start after years of sitting! The massive 6-cylinder diesel with its big diesel engine produces an insane cloud of smoke and an unforgettable sound during the first startup attempt. ๐Ÿ‘‰ After reviving the engine, we make a full inspection, checking the fuel system, batteries, hoses, wiring and everything needed to bring this retro beast back to life. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Then we explore the entire interior โ€” kitchen, bed, cabinets, living area โ€” everything preserved exactly as it was used during summer camping adventures. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Finally, we see whether this legendary retro camper can still handle a test drive after years of waiting. If you love starting old machines, abandoned buses, retro motorhomes and real rescue stories, this video is made for you!
