Carbs done, on to the next project.

Rebuilding Weber DCNF 40 carbs. I have’t even finished taking the car apart, but seeing the motor was out i though I would get something looking and working like new again.

More disassembly today. The L model is so similar to the 206 in many ways. Many things unique to the 206 and 246 L model such as knock off wheels, trunk carpeting unique to these 2 models, ignition system with emergency switch, interior the same except for ashtray which doesn’t have the squiggly lines engraved and doesn’t have the same shift knob. Both have aluminum doors but the 206 has a different pulley system for the side glass. The vent glass frame is chrome on both the 206 and L model. The shift box is the same, the vent lever under the dash is the same. Seat belts are different. Both fiberglass floors are completely covered in Dino vinyl and tarpaper unlike the later models. The bumpers are the same on both and much thinner than later models. Also the end caps are not removable. I’ll try to highlight more differences as I take this one apart.

More disassembly photos, body #400 found in many areas. If anyone is restoring an L right now I can take photos of what you need as this is a very original car. Many of the wire clamps are still in place.

I started a new project today, a 1970 246 L model. These are fairly rare and share many parts with the 206 model. Cool cars with the bigger 2.4 motor but with Aluminum doors and lids and knock off wheels. I imported this car from Germany recently, it was all original with the exception of some minor paint work. We’ll see how it looks it about a year!
