Whats up peeps,
I did some work on the weekend on the car. I changed the linkages to the updates steel ones and then tried to fit the backseat belts in and was not able to complete it. And also got some fancy new Bosche Aerotwin windscreen wipers
The gear linkages were pretty straight forward but damn this mechanic who looked after the car is a punk. He put silicone on the damaged linkages and he thought it was acceptable. Idiota!
The problem though, the linkage deteched from the round knuckle part so I need to jimmy them out with various tools and its not easy to get in there either.
Then next I checked the seatbelts out and seems they have a locking mechnism, so basically in the event of an accident the seatbelt locks itself. I opened the one mechanism and by change it was the spring I wound it up again and thankfully put it together ok. I then opened the other side and figured out how to release the mechanism, but still it doesnt change the fact that to mount them was a pain as I am unable to take the plastic cover off from where the belt mounts I need to get the license to convert the car to a saloon and then can get access to it...
And here is a pic in Episkopi, went for a nice drive to Paphos and stopped along the way. I hope you like the pics
