I have to change the 2nd/3rd gear synchromesh on this 2CV6. I've used to do blogs using Google but they changed the interface and it is painful to use, so I am switching to Photobucket where I can still put captions and info on each picture. I do this to keep the client informed and for references later down the raod. Enjoy if you are interested! The pictures on the left are displayed ramdomly; to see them in order CLICK HERE. |
