I really enjoy your videos. Loving the 205 series.

[@JasperV70-205CT-BX]

I have watched this video at least 5 times before in the past year. Just enjoyed it again, its just the best!

[@Silverhalide44]

The work, the style, the effort. Every video gets a thumbs up from me. We need some merchandise to support the channel!

I find it very relaxing to watch all these disassembly videos. Keep up the great episodes!

My new favorite resto series. I can only agree: it takes loads of time to do stuff, especially if you want it to be "tüchtig" and not some average mechanic shop quick work. It does get a lot smoother if you have the right tools for everything, not even talking about a mighty sand blasting cabinet, dear lord i want one so bad. It's even more time (and money) to send stuff to the sandblaster or pearlblaster, then to powdercoat; bolts and bits to have them plated (to the right colour of course), also if you want to reuse all the screws you can, so it looks original. The worst are maybe the "dichtungen", lot of stuff are unobtainium or the aftermarket stuff just doesn't fit. Time, time, time.. Greetings from a Datsun restorer in Hungary.

It never goes smoothly, at least in my experience. I have not been blessed by the car fixing gods.

If it ain't broken, it's probably broken you just haven't looked at it... Had a bunch of those moments on this project. Or on any project where one wants to "not overdo it".

No no! its very normal French gear selection! :p

Bei 07:40 min. da packst du deine Bestellung aus, wo hast du die Teile für die Schaltung bestellt. Übrigens top Videos für den 205er. Ich habe dich schon einmal bzgl. des Buches angeschrieben. Mach weiter so, das sind echt tolle Anleitungen zur Restauration fur den kleinen Löwen. Wenn du Adressen hast wo man Teile fur den 205er bestellen kann, dann hau es mal in die Kommentare, danke und Gruß Olli

Schmier die Messing Buchsen an der schaltwippe blos gut. und die schraube mit Lock Tide ansetzen. ich hatte es mal das sich die schraube gelöst hat und dann im Abgas Bereich rumfingern schockt gar nicht.

[@OnlyARoadtripAway]

Hab ich gemacht. Ich denke man merkt wenn die sich verabschiedet, das Schaltgefühl dürfte sich rapide verschlechtern. 😝
