My GVX had the same rims as your Yugo does. Mine was blue with blue interior. One issue I had with both cars that was always a pain...the horn cap would pop out when I hit a bump.

I noticed your parcel shelf was not connected...are the rubber straps still viable? To be honest, a couple rubber bungee style cords could be altered to work. If I remember correctly, the shelf snaps in place in the rear, and only connected to the hatch gate with the rubber straps.

My first one didn't come with a radio...I bought it with $1000 down, and $2990 financed, all with newspaper deliver money I earned. I was the only one in high school that could say they bought their own car, and mine was brand new.

BTW...the machine that flared the pipes used for the steering column was made in the US, at a tool and die shop named MegaCity Tool and Die in West Carrolton, Ohio. The guy that designed and built the machine was a guy by the name of Ed Mittman. How do I know this? I know because I worked in the same shop for my dad, and Ed taught me much of what I know about designing and building special machines. I learned a lot working on that machine with him.

They claimed the car was entirely made in Yugoslavia by Zastava...it was only assembled there, as you have found out using the Ford Escort carb. There were other Escort based pieces on the car, as well...just look at some of the emissions system.

I am now actually missing my old Yugo a bunch. Even though it was a general piece of crap, it was a piece of history I'd love to have back.
