Restoration, 2013
Small repairs, maintenance etc.
Window mechanism
Passenger side window mechanism skips teeth when cranking it up. Mechanism is not meant to be serviced, tabs in gear cover brake when unbent. Small teeth was very worn but I do not have spare. I filed it little bit better and my friend welded broken tabs. Now it works little bit better but still skips teeth occasionally. Window seal is very tight, so that may give extra resistance to mechanism. Got to find new (used, better) mechanism some sunny day.
Spring service
New oils to engine and gearbox, new oil filter, differential oil check and addition, greasing suspension joints, cleaning air filters, new fuel filter. Power steering fluid container was totally empty! And a pan I keep under the car to collect engine's "territory marking" was full of red ATF oil. It seems that steering rack rubber seals dry when the car hibernates 6 months and let the oil out. I filled it and added Redline Stop Leak, let's hope it helps and I do not need to replace seals. UPDATE: It did not leak during the whole summer, so that Stop Leak really works!
