I vented the clutch- and brakesystem. My wife's better in sewing then in venting; while doing so, she pushed the brake instead of the clutchpedal, so at first it didn't work as planned.
I even had time tot attach the skirts with the little attachment-thingies on the floor. Meanwhile I gave the pipelines of the brakes and petrol a good spray of Dinitrol anti-rust treatment.
I filled some fresh oil (Kroon Emperol 10W40) and changed the oilfilter between the soup and the potatoes (as a matter of speaking). I found out a new and clean way to change the oil filter of the 33, which is lying horizontal. I simply put a plastic bag (this was from my partssupplier and was a good quality) with the handle opening over the oilfilter. So spilling oil from the engine would run in the bag and not on the subframe and exhaust. Result: a clean eng=ine compartment and alsoe garagefloor and more important, no stench of burning oil during the first 50 km. The dirty filter and the bag can be removed in one movement.
I even cleared my work bench.
The list is checked earlier than I had hoped. My wife suggested we'd be riding to our family's Christmas diner in the Bleu Lord. Looks like this is not an idle plan.

"This is going to be a challenge".
For getting on the road these jobs must be done first:
- Make an appointment at the RDW (Vehicle Import Service) to arrange all the paperwork for the taxes and registration (it's still a Belgian car). After my visit to the specialist this is due first.
Since my Bleu Lord was outside in the rain for a few weeks, I saw some - for the import minor - imperfections:
- Fix the rear bumper so it won't keep any water to the body panel
