Ok, few things done today:

- some wiring on the chassis




- restaured an old steering wheel





- bought an old 2CV (looks rusty but no perforation at all on the shell)




Now I have to take a part. I just need the body shell. So if some of you need some pieces of it, go ahead and get in touch with me...

Yes I like it too... I put some pictures on the section "cool pictures". As Etienne said it would be very nice for a hood ride project. The guys who owns it wants to sell it but I don't have the place to stock it. Shame... If someone is interested to buy it, get in touch with me.

The work I did on my gearbox was good and I like the result, but what has been done on the cylinders' heads is even better.
The good thing is that it is quicker and I don't get "stoned" due the acetone while I was working on my gear box Laughing
I aim to do the same thing on the engine bloc. Twisted Evil

I had some time this morning to work on the engine:









I've checked the camshaft, it is in excellent condition. I'm now waiting on the seals which should be delivered at my place on tuesday. In the mean time I'm gonna clean up every thing and have everything ready to put all back together and install my new 9:1 compression cylinders Very Happy (the old ones are fucked up)
