I have to change the 2nd/3rd gear synchromesh on this 2CV6.

I've used to do blogs using Google but they changed the interface and it is painful to use, so I am switching to Photobucket where I can still put captions and info on each picture.

I do this to keep the client informed and for references later down the raod.

Enjoy if you are interested!
