Hello everyone,

Thank you very much for the comments.
Now I keep all the tubes, but I have a lot of trouble.
Someone can help me?.
A friend disassembled everything and now can not remember where I was each tube :hammer .
While I have only mounted the injection.

Greetings to all.

Hello friends,
Now I had to repair the transmission, the car to a lot of vibration, so I had to calibrate it.

It looks good but I don't think it was a good idea to paint the car with window rubbers and chrome strips on the car. Same goes to door locks and fuel cap :(

You're right but I do not dare to remove the chrome parts, did not want to remove glasses because I have never done. Furthermore, the painter is a friend and he repair and painted the car for free.
