Good evening everyone,
Thank you so much!
The build continues peacefully, slowly, much more than I would like...
The two front half axles are almost finished, the brake connections are installed and the calipers are just waiting for their bleeding.
The steering bellows will be painted later, the discs patinated to follow.
The front rims are finished, balanced, center polished.
I preferred machined valves to those from the kit.
One of the tires is mounted on the other rim. It is lightly sanded and will be detailed soon.
And here is the wheel shown on its half train.
I was also finally able to complete the rear calipers by fitting them with the missing bleeds.
The engine should cool much better: The braided hoses connect the tank to the oil radiators.
The whole thing will of course be connected to the engine a bit later.
More soon.
Pascal
