The welding can be done with the body on so I'll probably put the body on to take to Gary to do the welding and new floors etx

Garry wants the car on the chassis do aim is to have the car back on the chassis for the weekend.. And drivable!!!

Better get cracking

I'm just going to waxoyl over it all as its been done before... And get the car back on the chassis

If the floors and bulkhead are welded with the body on itll be a total ball ache, then you'll have to remove the body again to waxoyl it again I assume Gary has a chassis he can Jig your shell up on then you can do all your rustproofing bojangles before you mount the body back on its chassis. Otherwise you'll have it back six weeks and you'll be taking the shell off it again.

I reckon you should replace the bolts that hold the body down with dzus fasteners or better still, Velcro the amount of times you remove it.

Gary wants it onthe chassis

I'm going to do all my rust proofing bollocks at the back tonight and get the shell back on, on Wednesday as the weather looks nice

Gary is going to paint the floors and bulkhead, so I'll get him to do it with the epoxy mastic stuff (or would galvofroid be better?!)

I've loosely asked him to waxoyl the floors and bulkhead but I can lift the car up onto pallets and walk under to spray waxoyl on the floors
It's mainly the bits I cant get to easily whole the shell is on

Anyway I'm quite impressed with myself for getting the shell off on my own!

The boy did good

James,when I first joined this forum,I remember reading your posts about different things you wanted to do but you just didnt seem to have the confidence.Well, I bet you never thought at that time you would be taking the body off on your own.Well done,just believe and anything is possible.

WHS!

Well I was umming and arring but just thought ah fuck it

More progress tonight. Not much. Will post later. Just been out in the canoe as I've had such a bad day!!

My last remaining exhaust stud on the c90 sheered as I pulled out of work...

And in my desperation to sort it quickly didn't drill in the centre so have an oval hole. New head time...

So it took me 30 mins to clean this area...



And even then who knows if it'll get paint to Adhere...

Wore brushed all of the rust out



Only had galvofroid so that'll do until my zinc 182 arrives ob Wednesday...





Not much progress but some..

This is Slightly obn the back burner until the c90 is going again



Sanded head with 1000 grit on a flat surface to get rid of any nasties..

New studs in. I made a big mess but it's sorted now

Gasket arrives Tomorow and engine will go back together Tomorow fingers crossed
Then back to 2cv work !!!

So I've put the head on the bike and all is good. Another thing I managed without a zillion questions

Anyway a series crap

Made progress

First coat of waxoyl




Ive done the bits that citroen failed to do when the car was done new - in fairness they probably couldn't of done easily..!!

Russ'es tip of using a glove to catch LHM worked a treat




Cable tied firmly to keep in place

I'm aiming for 6 coats of waxoyl. One before work Tomorow
