Hi GUYS,
I post this picture where you can see how I repaired vent window mechanism.
1.- See teeth are broken.
2.- A welding
3.- Handmade job with a grinder
4.- Assembling
It might be interesting when parts are difficult or expensive to find.
Maybe sounds stupid but I am a bit proud of this job, and vent window works perfect now.
Cheers,
Alex

Alex, not a bad fix at all! Looks brand new. Now, may the wind be in your face.

Re: Alex 62 Continental project
Hi Guys,
Car is almost finished.
Made my first test drive and car worked well.
After 10 miles got differential licking and
gear box fluid in the refrigerator fluid reservoir.
Everything is repaired now so I am going to clean water circuit,
and test car again. I wish car is ready for next week.

That car would turn heads in America, let alone España! I can't even image cruising that car along the Spanish Riviera, you'll make Ferrari owners break their necks looking back at you!

Re: Alex 62 Continental project
Hi Guys,
Thank you very much for your nice comments.
Car is almost finished, still some work to do but I can drive it now.
I got married last 24th of August and I took the risk and drove the car, it worked perfectly.
Thirty months of hard job were rewarded.
Also drove it in a classic meeting for first time last Saturday and It also worked very well, although it was a really hot day
with neverending stops. No lickings, no overheating, ... I am very happy.
Recent pics are attached.
Cheers,
Alex
