A small part to change, the rehostat of the electric brake, have has as much work as on a big piece

At first, say presentable



At the end of dismantling. . . there's work



Beginning of the dismantling of the box lid, having served longer ant shelter than oil mixer



The spiders went through there





 And there are the snails, and we will dare say that we do not have green vehicles



Courage on it

In order to vary the work, the idea of restoring the generator is not bad
It was a long time ago that she did not turn







Traces of the former inhabitants



Completely dismantle, direction sand blast
