Peugeot 404 - Restoration Project - April 10th 2001

Just one hour this evening, enough time to glance at the river, lie under the car (one of the most peaceful activities), get my hands dirty and reset the heater. The more I look at it the more I'm aware that I really have a full restoration project on my hands and that I really need to start at the beginning with a dry and reasonably sized place to do this work. Should be doing more to look for a place, quickly as the river seems to be rising again.

Lubricating the right side noticed that the ball joint was also missing its grease valve fitting (see the 9th), I guess that during the last restore someone forgot to put them in place.

Finally took a picture of the missing plate on the clutch housing and its possible to even see a little inside.

Rust on the exhaust is extensive but without perforation (for the time being).

a view of the dynamo shows more rust, not very pretty...

Finally, last image for today, there is still water to be squeezed out of the rubber gasket.
