Body
April 29, 2007

In me driveway, she makes the neighbors curious ;-)

Sometimes, pedestrians stop to ask me what this car is

She's impressive!

There is no front licence plate in Québec

I put the rear plate onto the original french one...

... to avoid making new holes, there already are 6 of them!

The RR wheels are in excellent shape and fit very well

It shines because it's clean and I'm not a good photographer ;-)

Nice rims and tires, it's hot!

Cleaning and polishing the bolt covers has been a long and meticulous job

In the back, my "everyday's" car who temporary lost its space in the driveway

The windshield upper trim must be repositioned correctly

The body panels alignment is not perfect...

... but it's not too bad

Big scratches unfortunately temper the right side (rear fender and door)

It's frustrating, I'll have to do something about that one day

Under Body
July 19, 2008

The front side, from under, not too bad after a little cleaning

Here the rear side, not too bad either, but tar could hide bad surprises

Some work on a lift gave an opportunity to see more details

I'll need to do something here, it's not nice

Under the engine, this is quite oily of course

The side portions...

... nice, I believe

Servicing Program
April 29, 2007

- Installation of lower buffers on the rear suspension
- Repositioning of the windshield upper trim
- Painting of the front grill that begins rusting
- Elimination of the right side scratches

I don't plan to immediately deal with the scratches on the right door and rear fender. I'll see that later because it will probably require quite a big body work.
