The short foto story about my PV :wink:

This PV wants to rebuild it to fabric new.The enginge b16 in my PV is not worth repairing because broken piston rings heavily damaged the cylinders. I repair the car in my free time so it is very slow, but it's fun for me so I don't have to hurry.
Bought in Sweden and imported to Poland

Dismantling

Restoration,sandblasting

Looks like you are doing a nice job.
Keep it up!

It is time to top up the subject, because the progress of the reconstruction of the PV is visible.I think I won't comment on the photos photos because we all know what is coming.From interesting things is that I found, a company in Poland that manufactures the whole set of brake wired to PV at a price of 100 PLN per set (about 200sek)
All bolts, nuts and washers I exchanged with stainless steel and suspension components are painted with powder paint

Welcome home with new paint

As you wish :wink:

The fuel tank had to be regenerated, because in the middle, the whole thing was covered with a layer of rust, which could clog the fuel layout
I could do this the electrolysis method, but chose the FERTAN set (rust remover,rust converter and tapox2k). It's easier to use and recommended on motorcycle forums.
I think this is also a faster method, although the entire operation lasted a week.In the end regeneration tank finally returned to its place in the car with a new fuel level sensor. Could someone write how the a cover fuel level sensor is montaged in the tank ? There's no hole for screwing the lid

Arne,I know all of these shops :wink:

.I mostly buy parts on scandix.de or vp autoparts. Definetaly more on vp, beacuse this shop has a more readable catalog. I asked about a club shop beause it has attractive prices. The price of a heating control valve (heater control unit) is two times smaller in a club shop. I know that that these are regenerated valves but I have an old valve that doesn't work and I can give it.

I present you a small relation from the later part of the PV reconstruction. I got a new old set of original pistons in a normal size from ebay. In the piston cylinders were inserted cylinder liners to get a normal size. On the last photos I present my smallmodification of break/cluth rods. Original clutch and pumps control mechanisms are very transiently and wares away very fast. It is the only necessary derogation I made. The rest stays without a comment needed.
