Y60 general renovation

Any updates mate??????

Been a while

It is great to see someone being so completely thorough. That's dedication to detail that is not often seen. How did you deal with the rust inside the chassis rails and cross beams? I water blasted the inside as much as I could then sprayed the living daylights out of it with Fishoilene which is a great tried and true rust inhibitor. Its good for all hard to get to areas although I don't know if it is available in France.
Look forward to following your progress so the more pictures the merrier.
The end result should be amazing.

Hi all,

You thought I was dead ?

NO, I come with a new project !

After researching this Gevarm Cournil 1978 it seems 5416 km on the clock, a Jeep T84 gearbox instead of the original gearbox UGO T18 borg-warner, there corrosion, but only to surface corrosion, a torn tarp to change, a bent door, scratched windshield breaks, the engine reattach to new media, it was time to start working to extend the life of this small vehicle, he made a trip to England and returned to 25 km from the house .

Once the purchase is made the way back was good, it was loaded on a carrier car.

I'll try to tell the story of this renovation in stages, taking pictures, I would have probably have questions, you can also have too, so we can share our passion, please.

The day of purchase








already ride


first disassembly, remove the cloth, the doors, hood and windshield


Here it is almost naked






Help the state of the gearbox !!!


There was even a mouse nest inside


Continue disassembly




The interior of the transfer case appears in good condition


The tank is removed and emptied


Begin treatment against corrosion


Following next time

Best regard's,
Petit caillou.
