Did more work today.

I managed to put the engin on the chassis with the gearbox. I've loaded it with some fresh new oil and did some manual turns to lubricate all the internal mechanic:

I did as well some work on the ventilation cases. I've grinded and painted them with anti-rust and black paint:

I'm not a car painter so be cool on the coments Razz

If you did it with the same patience and eye for detail as you did by the rest so far, then I'm sure that you've painted it nicely. Cool

Yes man, did it the same way I did things before. It took me about 4 hours to clean all parts, and then I've painted them...

Good work i want a front bench seat. Not sure about the white though, if they were mine they would be grey within the first 5 minutes of driving. Laughing
