Project Guilia (7 )WE HAVE A DRIVE!




After fitting new rubber hoses front and rear, the beleeding did not proceed as easz as planned.
I purchased an eezybleed, but the cap on the reservoir did not lock well enough, spilling all fluid into the engine bay.
Therefore we turned to the oldfashioned way of pumping. Obviously some muck from the brakehoses was stuck in one wheel. Only after pushing real pressure on the system we seemed to have purged clots of rubber particles out of the system.
With that done, braking suddenly did not mean steering to the right anymore...
Its a very sweet driver now and running regularly for outings and errants when we get the chance.
Now it will require some cosmetic work, but thats not a hurry.
Look forward taking it out for easter to the Ardennes.
We'll be with the whole family in the car, ADAC roadside assistance pass in the pocket!
