    Wooow ... mooi man, maar ... is dat jouw eigen werkplaats ?

    Nu alles er toch uit is, vervang dan nu direct ook de rubberen remleidingen.

    Bedankt. Neen spijtig genoeg niet haha. Het is een zeer mooie en nette hal die we met een paar mensen huren.

    Die leidingen ga ik zeker doen. Er is er al 1 vervangen de laatste keer 5 jaar geleden.
    Ik moet ook mijn kettingspanners van de oliepomp nakijken en de "tripple" afdichting op de koppeling as. Lekt een beetje denk ik.
    Voor de rest de gewone zaken riemen, klepspeling,waterpomp is ook nog maar 5 jaar, pakkingen,............

    My Flemish is limited(spent time in Beerse and Antwerpen) but that is a great solution to use a Scissor Jack like that for an Engine Out. I was planning on either using my four post or buy a second 2 post. Danke wel for sharing.

    A 2 post is best of course, but i can't drill holes in the floor. A high scissor is second best , but to expensive so third choice is a small scissor. :)

    Beerse ?? , You worked for Janssen ? I live at 8 km from Antwerpen to the North.

    Concrete blocks, very unsafe way to support a car during repair, because they can effectively shatter without warning. This is well known. .Please find yourself some jackstands (also known as axle stands). Best of luck, John

    I have to replace the 2 oil tubes to and from the oil reservoir. I assume they transport no pressurised oil ?
    Only flow.

    And up she go's. Weight balance is very unstable when lifting on the jack points ! Front is very light. I don't think it will flip but i have to put weight in the front or tie it down.
    Not going to work on it like this.

    Bottom panels look great! What did you do for prep and what paint did you use?

    Hi nothing special. A lot of cellulose thinner and a can of satin black from Motip. That's all.

    I love seeing DIY threads like this on these cars - but I have one piece of huge advice:

    Lay those wheels/tires DOWN! Mounted wheels/tires have a tendency to fall over or roll away without provocation, and they ALWAYS fall of the face of the rim. You don't want to add 'refinish wheels' to the final tally of a major service.
