I was just good luck getting the barn attached to the house, roughly 350 sq. meters. We didn’t know when we planned to leave Australia that we could make use of the barn. It is 175 years old and used to be a grinding mill. The floor has 2 massive grooves in it from the grinding stones. Sun tan, no worries. The Australian sun cooks me quicker than my little gasless welder does.

Well we bought 3 A-models rather quickly and can’t leave them in the street. Just placed and bolted the C channels on the floor and drove them up but it was risky business. Now the red Ami is going in for Control Technique Friday so I had to do something (properly this time). |

I bet the Ami was fun on the tightrope, with the rear axle being a narrower track than the front end.  ken. |

It worked, job done. Just been to my first Control Technique with the Ami. When we bought it, it had a report from Control Technique, where they knock it back on king pins, gearlever, brakes, head lights etc etc. Fixed everything except the king pins. Greased them up and hoped it would be enough and it was. The only mark we got was “minimal play” in the king pins. The Ami lived in another dept, so we didn’t have to go back to that dept. Our local guy, very young bloke had to ask the senior manager all the time as he is a 2cv owner, what was accepted on such an old car. Amazingly the Carte de Grise stated that the car is a 2cv and not an Ami 6. Further more, the chassis numbers didn’t match. Well who cares, the French just put it through as a 2cv with a note saying “identification not possible”  Attachment: ami.JPG [ 181.64 KiB | Viewed 6265 times ] Attachment: ami..JPG [ 187.18 KiB | Viewed 6264 times ] |
