After change of the aft brakes a couple of weeks ago, it was time to change the forward ones as well to have a better "braking" experience. The front brakes on a the 2CV are mounted on the engine not on the wheels like on the back or on modern cars.

We have some more project lined up that are not easy to achieve - let's get to know some more "new technologies". After months of "reflection" - the obvious solutions for some of our projects - seems to be "dust it yourself" 3D printing. Let's get started...

It's time to "brand" Yasmine with a custom logo / sticker. We cut our own sticker to shape with the drag-knife of the Stepcraft 840 CNC machine and the result is nice and clean.

Old and new gear box bracket
Some more maintenance for Yasmine, our green 2CV from 1978 and a new DIY project. The bracket that supports the gearbox in place needed to be changed and we used the occasion for some cleaning the area as well.

Time for some more maintenance of Yasmine our 2CV 6. She passed the technical control for registration without issues but we still had the impression that the brakes would not mind a check and upgrade. Unfortunately her last owner did not leave us any maintenance booklet or reference, so we prefer to DIY and service the brakes.

Finally acquired our "NEW" car. No kidding she is older than any of us. She will need a lot of attention & love, indeed her previous owner was clearly not caring for her and she unfortunately let us down on the side of the road on the way back home. After trying to recover her several time she refused to go any further. At 0100am it was about time to call for assistance. During this laps of time we replaced the carburetor and now it is time to rebuild it. Let's make it new. A project for D.I.Y
