Sky hooks......

Yep It's not really concerning me at the moment, easy to sort when it comes to re-assembly, although I'll take your advice when the time comes..

The engine has only done 52 thou, and seems tight, no smoke at all, and the oil is very clean, looks like it was changed just before it was taken off the road. It'll be getting an oil change and filter when it's all re-assembled. I don't see any point in doing a rebuild.

Oh and it was on stands, it has a tow bar, and there were 2 stands either side of the cross piece where it attaches to the chassis, the rear of which is really solid. The tow bar is being binned, in case anyone wants to take it away? seems solid enough.

Haha I wondered how long it would take for someone to notice that.. Should be the same principle, but it looks like your tensioner is missing? That's quite an old one, with the squarer profile body.

PROGRESS!!!

We have a chassis.

Saw it on eBay, thought it looked good but was outbid by £6 in the last 2 seconds!
Luckily the winning sniper couldn't figure out how to pick it up, so I was told I could have it. It's a very good quality standard type chassis, looks better than Citroen to me, but who knows, can't see any markings on it. It was found in the old 2CV Shitty premises in Halifax by a chap who was clearing it out. Thankfully it's not one of their attempts.

I left Stirling at 3:00pm yesterday afternoon, and got there for 8:00pm. Loaded it up (down?)





Left Halifax at 9:00pm, got home at 4:00 am this morning... Got 3 hours sleep last night.

Paid £226, the guy also threw in a new set of front door glass and new window catches, and donated a ratchet strap for securing porpoises. Nice chap, had an Acadiane.
It is very very sound, no rust at all, just plenty of Waxoyl. I'll be getting it down to bare metal, repainting it and then drowning it in clear wax, the black stuff always makes things look bodged. Busy with car shows for the next couple of weekends, but should get on it after that, so keep em peeled.

nice one! its good for piece of mind knowing that you have a solid chassis. Good luck with the progress.

Happy days, original Citroën chassis do make them feel nice and solid.

Yep it's a good step forward with the project, everything else is fixable without much difficulty and or expense, chassis was the major bit!

ha thats brilliant on so many levels
Was there anything else of use they forgot...big pile of rear bump stops perhaps?
They left an original chassis behind, bet they took it off to fit one of their "jewels"

its an original style chassis prob made on original tooling but not necessarily by Citroen, Ill be able to tell when i drop in....and I was at a loose end in Stirlingshire this afternoon!
Will be working in Kilsyth next week so will pop over.

There were lots of bits left over, a mountain of seats, couple of engines, masses of windows, lights, light bars, etc etc. I think they were yet to be picked up rather than abandoned, but the guy said a lot of it had been dumped, just because there was so much stuff. Shame.

Ah man you should have rang me or something. Definitely get in touch next time you're about the area.

PS strapping porpoises down is frowned upon in polite circumstances especially with ratchet straps.
