Hi All
Thought I would join up after seeing links to here while on a mission to find inspiration.

I have an 83 2cv6 special in red with red roof. Originally brought it to convert to a race car but having had it over 2 years now I still haven't taken the plunge.

the more I look at them I feel that I would like to just put it back on the road with some performance tweeks (or maybe a bmw r series) and retain its good looks.

Anyway looks a nice site so expect many questions if I cant find answers.

Hi Steve I also in Northants (rushden) where are you?

Hello
My name is Dean Bell, and I have a 1985 Special that lives in Texas. I imported her in 2013 and promptly destroyed the crankshaft. After rebuilding the engine I have decided not to make her in to a special but to restore her instead. I plan on doing most of the work myself as this is going to be my hobby for the next few years. Anyway I just wanted to say hello. Dean

Howdy, Dean!

welcome here.

hi,
i'm chris from great yarmouth on the east coast of the uk.
at the moment i'm trying to sell my mustang to free up some money to purchase a 2cv, having a background in building hotrods, gassers etc it will not stay standard. motorcycle engine, wire wheels with x-plys no fenders, lowered, roof chop, stretched wheel base at front(if possible?)

i've already had a good look around, some neat rides about.

cheers chris.

Hi Poprodder! You'll find plenty of great build threads on here.
