    Precious girl, do you have any idea how this grandmother, and I’m guessing many more of us around the world, have prayed for those skimpy brakes to keep working? Some of the trips you have taken in Ape Maria filled with heavy loads of gravel and rocks! How did the brakes ever stop 🛑 in time? A WING AND A PRAYER!
    I love seeing more details of Ape Maria. It was such a miracle when I found the exact replica model of her for the diorama I built. The model had so many of the original details that only that style of Piaggio Ape had that year; right down to that crazy color of paint! The frame for cargo ties behind the back window must have been added after market because I had to add that separately.
    Just to think that vehicle has been on the road since 1984! Someone must have kept her in a garage for most of her life!
    I hope you feel well tomorrow. Your tea might be just what your immune system needs. ❤️

    My first car was a little Bellett, my brother restored it for me. It was a 1964 model. My brother still has it, and many others, as I had too many kids and couldn’t fit them in the car 😢 one day I’d like to be able to afford to get it fixed and back on the road. Old cars were built well 😊 I have fond memories of helping him bleed the brakes ❤

    We repaired our metal shed roof with waterproof Flexall tape. Two trees fell on it and put holes in it. I also just fixed my greenhouse roof with clear Flexall tape. Check it out for Ape. It really works well for leaks.

    Why not just upgrade with the new parts you bought for the Ape? I don't understand the light...put a new cover over a rusty old part? And you might want to apply some protective cleaner to the vinyl on your dashboard soon--it will prevent it from cracking. Not expensive, just schedule 10 min every other week & 1 hr clean/maintenance, etc for your vehicle every month---automate it on your calendar. It is the only way I keep up w/ things like this.:-) I do love this Ape, she has done such a great job for you guys.

    Do you have a friend who does welding!? That would fix the leaking. Didn’t Sergie do some welding? Then there are like decal material they use for custom detailing that you could put on roof top if welding looks rough and cover over! Paint would work too contrasting color for roof would work!

  • @wendymorrison5803
    @wendymorrison5803 Рік тому +1

    Keeping Ape in safe condition is important with cold and wet weather coming. I'm thinking the three seat sofa is much more comfy for snoozing by the log burner. It may be needed all winter?
