Deuche is simply a contracted form from deux chevaux ...... and virtually everyone would have known what you mean in France.

I thought this thread would sink without trace

I'm so chuffed that it's still on the road and looking better (on the outside anyway) than it did when I sold it to Russ

The rear wings have been filled (i doubt they were replaced - GRP and steel are hard to find and pricey) and the little reflector sourced.

the door tops were so so rotten - strangely the 'best' one was the driver's door - the only one I got round to botching

hate the wheels though

thanks for aquiring those pictures Neil

I feel like I've just seen an ex-wife snogging her new husband.....actually quite sad we parted

...and that Citroen badge on the bootlid has to go!!!! why was it even added???

(get over it Will, let it go)

I'm looking for another car at the moment but I've got a budget of about £150 and it must have MOT for at least 5 months, I can't see me getting an A series that fits those parameters nowadays!

No they have gone up in value gone are those days, my first grey grey charleston was about that Marc fenner helped me get it back on the road by a chance rendezvous up ford market many many years ago he had a green club and was full of.... Knowledge ☺

Russ, did you swage the holes on that?

A while ago did you make a swage tool? How did you do that? I'd like to have a go haha

I'm interested too in these holes and I now have a lathe..... these are looking like being there from "la usine Citroen".... That's what we need..

I did, LL. I didn't make the tool though, I got them from a place on ebay down in Devon/Cornwall. They are simply swage tools though, to cut the holes I use Qmax cutters. If you're really rich you can buy a combined cutter and swage tool. Americans call them dimple dies. They are my favourite tool.
