I'm using Histor Perfect Finish paint for outside. This is just regular paint. To paint I use a small roller. Not the white one, but ones that are red, looks like there are little hairs on them. Will take a picture of that tomorrow.
It can even look better if you dilute the paint with owatrol or something like that. Then it flows out nicely.

Put the roof rack on today. Next friday we go to a meeting and put some old stuff on it for fun.
But used it today.
My girlfriend has a ripple bonnet for het 2cv, and it needed some welding to close some holes and cracks.
Bonnet does not fit in the car, so transported it on the car ;)

Oh, and lost a wiperarm when I was driving on a off ramp to the fuel station... Girlfriend went back to collect it ;)

Last week the wiper motor died, wipers got stuck after a few mm of movement and the motor starting to get very hot.
Bought a secondhand one at the warehouse from the Ami CLub. Also bought a better front left door.

but the wipers work again, let the rain fall!!!!

Have you got any photos of the wiper motor being changed? Was it a bit of an arse to get to?

Not too hard..
- Remove the plastic & the part with the ash tray
- Remove the heater
- Undo the nuts on the wiper spindles
- Undo 1 nut down on the wipermotorframe
- Pull it out (can be hard, in my case the holes seemed not as far away from eachother compared to the spindles
- Swap the motor
- Put it all together in reversed order ;)

Took me maybe 30-45 minutes.

Also changed the gearlinkage. It now has teflonbushes instead of the rubber ones:

We got a new secondhand dinner table and seats today, so started the Ami to collect it.
Roof rack fitted, so the tabletop could be moved on the roof..
Seats in the back and on our way agian:

Last saturday collected some parts for the car:
4 new toyo's
Club Cassis Electronic ignition
small parts for a service.
Wanted to put the ignition on today, but it's raning all day, so not working on the car, because I need to do it outside :(
Hopefully next saturday.

Also lost a windscreen wiper again today. This time the arm and wiper got run over by several cars, so it can't be used again. Got a spare one somewere... Time for safety wires I guess ;)
