Ad-least this part of frame is OK.

Any comments to my illness - craziness... ?

Only that you should show us lots of pictures and tell us how you mend it. I would like to know how to do these things properly.

Joolz is right. I'm guessing a lot of people can't say anything mainly because theres nothing more to say than your work is great. and to keep it up.

Keep us updated its great seeing the little updates you certainly have some skills.

Max.

Many years ago when I was at school I found metalwork lessons boring and I didn't pay attention. If I had known then how interesting it really is then I would have worked harder. Your posts are very interesting, please tell us more about the process of repairing metal on your car.

Well, @Old-Nail ... sometimes this work can be boring. Look at this video, it is "only" 8 minutes of few hours of cleaning work that I did on this dyane...

Just to explain what and why I doing this ... I am not a fan of sand blasting a citroen A series . It is very thin material (0,65 mm) and where ever is rust but not a hole in material there is even thinner . so when someone use sand to clean and too much pressure it will make too many holes and corrugations . In many situations owners destroy their 2cv with sandblasting it.
I use torch just to warm a little color and than like you can see on that video, clean with angel-grinder or by hand. It takes a lot of time to clean but material is not damages.

Result...

There is some "white" spots that I will cutout latter and replace with new parts. So now I can start welding ...

Front "firewall"... Cutout bad rusty parts and made a new part, weld in ...
