Barchetta New Member from France ! 95 in restoration.

Introduction

Hi everyone,

Been a silent reader on this forum since a year or two, and finally decided to become more implicated to help people with their barchetta problems and/or questions.

Got mine since 2007, orange one with 75k km on the clock, hard top, and a broken soft top.
Since then i changed a lot of things on the car, soft top structure restoration, new soft top, suspensions, brakes disks and pads, throttle Idling controller restoration, flowmeter restoration. One day near the 100K mark, the cambelt broke on me, and i buyed a 2nd hand engine with 60k , on wich i learned a lot.
I bought timing belt tools and changed it, as camshaft seals, crankshaft seals, gearbox seals, new clutch, injectors ultrasound cleaning .

Then my orange B was back on the road, but since then i continue to restore parts that becoming rusty on it. i'm actually on the whole rear structure, changed the two rear arms, making new brake lines from the center of the car and de-rusting and protecting the rear frame parts. Last thing after all that will be the re-painting of the car by myself too, may be for this summer.

You got all the story ;) See you on the forum !
Welcome to the forum, it sounds as though you are very competent with spanners! Well done for keeping another 'B' on the road.
 
Hi, welcome from a newby also. Pity you are not further south in France as I would gladly help you with the car as best I could. You are 500miles north of me!
Good luck
Steve
 
Hello ST. I am over in Brussels so only a couple of hours away from you. I have a UK reg B and am in the process of registering it here in Belgium, have changed the lights, taken out the instrument cluster and changed just the facia so it now has the KMH displayed, which i took out of a second hand full intrument cluster I got from Germany. If you are over in Brux give me shout we can have coffee. Have a quiet one. mvfjps
