    *New Subscriber* That was great ! My dad had 2 404's in the late 60's to mid 1970's. Then a 504. All manual. I remember the 2nd 404 ( in petrol blue ) and the 504 ( maroon ). Then the recession in Europe and higher petrol prices meant that the 504 gave way to a new VW Jetta. That car had a recurring electrical problem due to a design flaw that allowed water after rain to collect somewhere it shouldn't in the engine bay. Then that gave way to a 2 year old BMW E30 in 1988. A coupe 318i again in maroon that he still daily drives in his 90's. But the Peugeot 504 was my favourite. I love your car. Greetings from Prague CZ

      Thanks for your comment. It means a lot to me.
      My dad also had 404 pickup in 73.
      he is missing it very much.
      Soon i would make a video with E30 :) so stay tuned

    Nice, very well done. I used to drive a 1968 model around 1975... A very nice, small car. Liked it a lot!

    Your steering wheel is from a 1968 model-year. Earlier steering wheels were similar but the centre wasn't padded.

    Is the registration or road tax expensive for classic cars in Israel? I know the import duties for cars in Israel is very expensive but hopefully they give you a break on the registration costs especially for a classic.

    • @DIY-Mechanic
      @DIY-Mechanic  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The annual registration cost is low (around 350 shekels which is 90$), the insurance is also low, around 1000 shekels (270$~)
      While on regular cars its 4-5 times the price.
      Import tax is 117%, very high, and it's calculated on the vehicle price + shipping.
      The taxes on imported spare parts is also high, around 55%...
      I rather pay regular annual price and dont pay such high fees on spare parts from time to time.

    I noticed you have a 6-digit odometer. First time I've seen this on a 204. It is usually a 5-digit odometer. How come? Do you know?

      @@DIY-Mechanic It must be from a 304 GL. When the 204 was discontinued in 1976, Peugeot introduced an entry-level 304 that was basically a 204 in a 304 body (same seats, same 1.1 engine, same dashboard). I have just found out that they had a 6-digit odometer.

    I also used to have a 204 Sedan from 1972. My is white, stil alive, but not in my ownership anymore. 1972 were the grills more silverish gray, not black. Black grills were only last models, after 1975. But lovely job, your English isn't bad at all. I met some even in Britain born people and their accents are stil worse than yours, so don't worry. 😉

      Didnt knew about another grill in silver, i would check. I replaced mine with a NOS someone actually found for me in Israel.
      British accent is the worst. Can't under a thing😅
