A few jobs today that are unique to the 206. The air canister and air filter are lettered with individual letters, not 1 decal.

If you notice they made the cans too big and they hit on the frame. Ferrari mechanics use the favorite Dino tool in their box, the hammer! The boxes were beaten down to fit.

This one was rebuilt by Jim Simpson at Oddparts to make it a bit more reliable and it was broken.
