Summer 2009 we bought a Citroen 2CV for £650. It was in fair condition (from a distance!) but needed a good amount of work doing. Here are the very few photographs from this little restoration project. After we got it running well, we drove it 2500 miles round France and Belgium see 2CV Road Trip in the gallery
Bicycle tyres and a go cart engine. What have have we bought!!
Not looking too bad! Those horizontal cylinders look like a BMW motorbike
Stripped of its interior in search of more holes and corrosion
This seems to be a common sight on most 2CVs. All the water collects here and rust just eats right through. Luckily it wasn't so bad that the full bonnet hinge had to be replaced
Crank start!
Rust be gone. And half the car
Matt did a neat job on this!
Battery shelf needed a little repair job with some fibre glass
A bit of a clean up and Zinc paint on the chassis and suspension arms
Look at it!
…and the side
You'd never know
