Talking Coming to France

Hi all,
My name is Joe and i live in Lyon, France . I have 33 years old and i'm working for the french military police (call gendarmerie in France) .

I am a new owner of chevy Blazer MY 98 4WD with automatic box of gear . He got some troubles but is not my first american car and i hope fixed quickly !

It's the first time i'm registed on an american forum Because my control of the American language is not good (but I manage! loool).

Sorry for the lot spelling mistakes !

With a pleasure to read you !

Joe

That's is mine chevy when i just buy it . the last owner can't use many year and many troubles was coming:

- the rims are in awful condition (they are clean now !)
- the exhaust is complet destroy since the muffler to the end
- some ball joint and bar link stabilzer are very used
- the front windows working when they are agree
I have brought all parts to repare all troubles exceptly the exhaust (is too expensive to shiping an kit exhaust kit from usa ) . I will build a new system with other french car parts !

Nothing wrong with welcoming someone in their own language. My French isn't that great anymore either, but I try to take a few opportunities to practice.

The more difficult for me is to find the word of mechanical parts to buy or search a solution for the troubles on my car . But i learn lol !

My job today:
- remplace front shock absorber
- replace inner and final ball joint
- replace roll bar link
- replace spark plug
- repair washer tank
- replace air filter

I'm tired lol
Tomorrow, i've start to build my new exhaust and finishing to polish my rims . A picture made today
