Ingenious solution with the 3d printed parts, love your work.
Thank you very much! we're very humbled
That all looks very recognisable. I bought a coupe about a year ago and went roughly through the same steps to get it back on the road again. I posted the whole project on the web too. Apart from a few minor things it’s now completely done and I daily drive it to work. It was well worth all the time, effort and money put into it.
I'm dailying this one currently as well, one of the best looking cars on the road still.
Simplemente Espectacular como encontrás reparar cada pieza y armarlo. De los mejores del mundo diría. Sos Genial!! Gran Auto el 406....Saludos de Santa Fe Argentina.
¡Muchas gracias por el cumplido! Saludo desde Alemania
FANTASTIC .... I love the time lapse footage ..... Well done you, I admire your patience and commitment
Thank you for the kind words!
@@Retrospek ... Can you explain the German car registration system please ? .... On UK cars we have an area code on the first two letters, the next two numbers are the year of registration.
sure!
The first one, two or in my case three letters are the area/city, after that comes a combination of letters followed by numbers which in most (probably all?) areas you can customize to a certain degree for a small fee.
The rules of how many letters and numbers vary and are set by the communities themselves. in my area you get to choose one letter with 3 or 4 numbers or two letters with two or three numbers.
there are special rules if you want shorter plates but you have to apply for them and explain why you *need* them (like having no space on the bumer etc.)
There are also unsurprisingly some rules against using combinations like 18 and 88 which stand for AH and HH respectively. those are to prevent glorification of nazi figures.
i could go on (german bureaucracy knows no ends) but that's the gist.
i like this restauration, the 406 is really a classy nice design. I hope to get one someday. subbed and good luck!
Thank you!
If you want a 406 or a 406 coupé, this is the time to get one. i think they're at the bottom of their depreciation curve atm.
You are right! soon... I saw some nice ones around 1000 euro's, but i'm broke and studying atm@@Retrospek
i know what that's like... good luck!
This is enjoyable!...honestly I like what i see!
Thank you! there's more coming 😉
Man I have a 406 coupe my self and thank you so much for showing how to calibrate the hand brake. I’ve been struggling with that.I changed everything on the hand brake and the hand brake it’s still not good and only 3 pins I can pull the hand brake so I did it bad. And don’t worry your car it’s low on km my has 367000 km and it’s running like a champ it’s my daily. By the way love your videos.
Daily
You're welcome! happy the video helped and thanks for watching.
I’m waiting for part 4 😁
Bruh where did you get front spring plates? These are unavailable literally everywhere I checked and I've been looking for them for a couple of years now xD
When i discovered that one of mine was rusted through i thought i was screwed for sure...
i asked someone who i met by chance who has a private stockpile of coupé parts and he hooked me up, got so lucky...
@@Retrospek that's cheating!
😂 yeah felt like it too at the time...
жидким мылом смажь сайлентблок легче будет запресовыватся
а регулировка (ручного тормоза должно блокировать колеса на 6/7 щелчке ) это особенность 406 иначе сломается тот пластиковый тройник !!!
