Great idea, but how do you know if you got it all over inside or do you just guess?  Is it paint or an under coating? 

 

thank you GARY F ;) 
at the end of the pipe there is a nozzle that sends the product in all directions.
it is a greasy product of white color, it is enough to put the pipe at the bottom of the cross-beam then to press on the gun to project the product and at the same time in pull the pipe gently towards the outside to be able to put a good load all over .

Awesome work. What is that part for? 

 

thank you ;) 

 

this piece is the "trimmer", this piece is attached to the rear of the frame and is connected to an arm of the rear axle.
this piece and connected to a compressor located at the front of the car by a small pipe.
the trimmer serves to inflate the rear shock absorber if the car is overloaded or if the car is pulling a caravan.
it serves to keep the car horizontal and to have the same press on the road :)

hello, here are some news from the buick :) 
now that the trimmer is finished, I take care of his " rod " .
After some research I saw that it was not easy to find his rods "ball joint " .
So I went to a parts shop and car product and after some research in the shop he found something that could be good. It is "ball joint "  engine motorcycle (50cc).
so I change it is two " ball joint " to be able to put on my rod .

Hello everyone, here is some news from the buick :) 
after cleaning the screws of the steering box, and have cleaned and grease the end of the steering column, I go back the steering box :)

then I took care of the tank.
Before reassembling it, I checked the inside of the tank to see if it was clean or not.
and everything is in very good condition, it has no rust or deposit :)
