A few news from today, I just lift the car on jacks
For now it is 40 cm away from the ground, I don't know if it will be enough to get out the gear box on my little cart...

Probably ok Domi?

I had wheels, driveshafts, brakes and shocks off when I had my box out, which may have been easier...

Good luck! The box doesnt sit perfectly on the jack, and thd engine will tilt when you remove the box, so you need to re-level it with another jack to get the box back in. But thats a little way down the road. Glad you ard able to start working on it again!

First of all, I'm going to replace my pipes and get back to the original after a good cleaning

Today I have finished of dismantling the old pipes to get back to the original ones which solved my steering problem.
Still four left pipes to mount and the job will be done, just flush of liquid.

Can't do the job alone, so the car is going to a mechanic...

Sometimes it comes to that domi, but hopefully it ll be sorted in no time... With a mechanic and lift it should be sooo much easier
Best of luck with it!
