No stickers. maybe a Citroen Racing one on the vent flap, but nowt else.



I got the roof from a bloke about half an hour up the road on eBay, £62, it has never been on a car, and despite a couple of nicks and oily marks, it's pretty much perfect.

I fitted it and went for a little test drive. It's great to be behind the wheel of a slammed 2cv again, this is as hard as a coffin nail, although it's pretty high, it's still low enough that it should have scraped and bottomed out down the lane and there was none of it. I'm really pleased with it so far, I never set out thinking I'd like it, most of the work I've done has been half hearted and not of great quality, until now it's just been 'another red spesh', but I'm actually quite fond of it, and think I can see me keeping it for longer than 'until it dies and then breaking it'.

have you got it taxed and tested and on the road yet? would be good to see you ragging it around lol

nice job mate, front splitter?

Built, not bought! looks great - you've done well me ole china!

meant to put also, youve done a nice job, i wouldnt say half hearted, otherwise you wouldnt of gone to the trouble of posting the pics etc

Not yet. still a few jobs to be done before I can MoT it.



Hopefully picking one up from Spanners on Saturday. Then painting it white. You can just see the brackets I made for it in that picture.



Fanx man, bet you're glad to see XPH 505Y back on the road!



Nah, read Lennys thread about covering up pinholes with seam sealer. that's the sort of thing I've done with this, simply to get it on the road ASAP and cheaply. I'm not going to sell it to anybody for a vastly inflated price, it's about £500 worth of 2cv, but as i said, it isn't for sale, I don't feel slightly guilty about some of the cut corners, I'm still very pleased to have got in going again.

yer read that

fair enough, well if your not going to sell it then why not cut corners, at least you can fix the, "bodges" (didnt know how else to say it but you get what i mean) when you need to, i think it looks super mate, nice work, good luck!

Russ, if that falls through for any reason, I'm heading for the Channel Tunnel on Sunday - happy to drop the splitter off to you.

Looks great Good another one has been saved and to turn it round like you have in such little time is amazing really.

Like Neil said - Built not bought which always makes 'em special. Nice work Russ.
