              Guys!!! With a surname like mine "Des-Chanelle", I can't just sit and let you take the Pee out of the French....

              Umh, let me think about that one for a minute....

              Oh balls to it... of course you can, French cars are diabolical IMHO!!!

              It does explain a lot..

                  Just to clarify and mark doing a job I've been putting off for ages as done.

                  The front coupe subframe was also cleaned with wine and primered with cheese.
