Perfect plan – I did not have a choice with mine but I have not touched the paintwork yet as I have not decided yet if it will be done at all (lots of people say leave it as it is).
But I am doing the same now with my 4CV – I want to be able to drive my cars all the time only have them off the road to do a particular mod or project. So doing you car as you are is the best way.
Plus you will get a feel for how the car will drive without the power steering and then feel the benefit afterwards….. I don’t know how a normal traction feels like as I have not driven one without power steering 😉
Agree…. don’t leave it as long as these guys they feature on CAR SOS
