My first car was a little Bellett, my brother restored it for me. It was a 1964 model. My brother still has it, and many others, as I had too many kids and couldn’t fit them in the car 😢 one day I’d like to be able to afford to get it fixed and back on the road. Old cars were built well 😊 I have fond memories of helping him bleed the brakes ❤

Rest for a few days, Alla! You obviously are sick. You worked so hard the past year!

Precious girl, do you have any idea how this grandmother, and I’m guessing many more of us around the world, have prayed for those skimpy brakes to keep working? Some of the trips you have taken in Ape Maria filled with heavy loads of gravel and rocks! How did the brakes ever stop 🛑 in time? A WING AND A PRAYER!

We repaired our metal shed roof with waterproof Flexall tape. Two trees fell on it and put holes in it. I also just fixed my greenhouse roof with clear Flexall tape. Check it out for Ape. It really works well for leaks.

Good to see that Ape is getting some attention as she has been a very busy bee! Hope you feel better and have more energy for gardening on the weekend. 💐

Your friend can do everything! What a nice man.

The temporary spot for the turtle looks fun!

Thank you for posting Ape videos. I am in America, NY City, with the exact same Ape, 1984 P501 Yellow! my clutch is very difficult but I am working on it like you. Thank you. x

Hope you feel better soon ❤ Happy Ape has new brakes 🛻

Hope you feel better soon sweetheart,loved watching you pump the pedal with your foot xx

You really must get the leaks fixed before the winter really sets in

I hope you warmed up Alla and did not catch a cold! Glad you are safe in the Ape now😅❤

Love how simple the Ape is built, easy to fix.👍❤

Get well , rest up 😊

Wow, what a beautiful starting shot with your camera.👍

Very nice! I have an Ape 501 too, a super Vehicle! I have an Ape 50, and an Ape Calessino 200, and Vespas, A Virus😂, ...Greatings from Germany,Bavaria Robert 🍀😎

I understand how you are. You are driven and feel guilty if you indulge yourself in relaxation.

SO glad Ape's brakes are fixed! Sending healing prana to you! 🙏🤗

Take care Alla hope your feeling better soon

Why not just upgrade with the new parts you bought for the Ape? I don't understand the light...put a new cover over a rusty old part? And you might want to apply some protective cleaner to the vinyl on your dashboard soon--it will prevent it from cracking. Not expensive, just schedule 10 min every other week & 1 hr clean/maintenance, etc for your vehicle every month---automate it on your calendar. It is the only way I keep up w/ things like this.:-) I do love this Ape, she has done such a great job for you guys.
