Transmission's probably OK Nenad. The parts in the picture are the clutch-disc and pressure-plate. Just replace those, the thrust-bearing, and adjust the clutch properly, you should be fine.  I've fixed many in my time. Trust me.   Unless you heard a lot of grinding or banging, the transmission should be fine. 

[NenadM]

You are right George ... My English again ... And stuppid google translate do not recognize serbian words "kvačilo" "korpa" and "lamela". Transmision ( in serbian " menjač" litteraly - changer) is still perfect, soft, precise, and considering I drive soft, do not force car over 3000-3500 rounds and not burn engine, it will last long

I recognize those parts... I have them on the floor of the garage where I am restoring my 67 Barracuda.

 

should be an easy fix and not too expensive

 

HAHAHAHA hopefully

Good wishes on the repairs.  Clutch work on some cars is easy, others with front wheel drive, not so easy.  If it's a good service shop, you'll get good work at a fair price. 

[NenadM]

Licensed Renault service, Mark. They are really good, and as their customer for 10 years I have got discount. Adding some servo repairs, down engine holder, some major fittings, some details on wheel mechanism, new oil in motor and transmission, new liquids, new filters, all finished with 300€. Not much, but in Serbia this is full month income for someone ...

Nice job, Nenad!

[NenadM]

Thx Omega

I have been pretty bussy last days with office jobs, even for a weekend, because my court schedulle was full every day, and I had to finish some urgent paper works. But, in Serbia this not mean - money. Ok, there will be some, but not spectacular. As we said - you can not undress a nude one. People are poor, and we have to turn down our prices, if we want to keep our clients

However, tonight I found some time to continue, and here is side two, step by step. Maybe it will be usefull for somebody





You can notice that this four panels are made from un-thinned veneer. It is impossible to drill those half circles on thinned veneer I used for strips. Thinning came later after glueing

Four long days I was not in shipyard

Today Her crying and calling was too loud to hear it any more, so, it is Friday, and as I have to work in office by weekend, at Friday night I pronounced "hobby hours" and continued with second deck house

Interesting ... When you know what you are doing, and when you have plan, it goes pretty fast

And stage 1 was done







You can notice that rounded corners of ornaments are a bit lower than in plan (cca 1mm). Reason - to let them to be seen under roof from distance. If I make them in scale, those nice semi circles would be covered by outside roof moulding

Next time, fine trimming and painting, and after that - aftdeck house. All "roofs" will be planked at the same time, to have equial look from bird perspective

Outstanding Nenad, looking very good.  Sorry for the many hours of work but that'll keep you in plenty of groceries 

 

Cheers,

Nice going on the deckhouse, Nenad.  Sadly, work has to come first to pay the bills, etc.  

[NenadM]

Second main deck house - done

I am satisfied with same look and feel of both deck houses

Edited November 16, 2015 by Nenad

[GLakie]

Wow Nenad!  Those are some great looking deck-houses! Nice Job! 

[NenadM]

Thanks George. I walked a long path until I find a way how to made something which match with my idea how it has to look

As I wrote up,  there are a lot of icy places to slip down.

 

Didn`t work on Her, reason is in this post

Finishing playing with GSketchUp, I returned to AI to check cabin curvature for aft deck house, and .... hmm again

 

Maybe .... or maybe not

Nenad,

 

Just beautiful work/details on the deck houses   

[NenadM]

Aft deck house - main structure done.

Tomorrow I plan to start with ornaments, relief panels and another stuff which belongs here

New modeler law I discovered today: so smaller piece, that bigger challenge is

It didn't look to be small as it is, during drawing in AIlustrator. Particulary skylight.

Ah! Nenad you have discovered why I work in 1:8 and not 1:92... it is much easier.

 

Michael

[NenadM]

Hello Michael. More easier is to work in 1:1

Just to add picture of six "windows" on each panel of skylight I plan to make


When I find how





What is a cooked cow head for a cat to eat?

And where is the problem with deck planks less than 2mm wide?

Edited November 16, 2015 by Nenad

[michael mott]

Nenad that looks like a great challenge, perhaps you can do something along the lines of what Dan did on the funnel like this

 

 

Michael

[NenadM]

Wow, Michael, what a brilliant idea !

 

I have somewhere cannibalized electronic transformer, winding very thin wires, etc, and must dig in my workshop to find it and to try

 

Maybe I`ll try with 0,1mm fishing line which left from my fishing days ...

 

Thanks a lot !!!!

Congratulations on another project Nenad.  How did you make the portholes inquiring minds want to know.

Hello David

 

Just a improvisation - lazy and impatient Nenad. It can be done much much better with brass wire and a bit of soldering

 

Here is "the last technology" process

 

 

I hope you can manage in my fast hand drawing
