Wonderful stuff! My first 2cv was a '78 Geranium drummer, too - TWB152S. Only eight years old when I bought it (I was 15 at the time), but it already had rot in the floors, sills, chassis... |

So at the end of last month I stuck the a frame on it and dragged it out to get started working on it.  IMAG0619 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr The next saturday I got up with a slightly sore head  IMAG0631 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr Then started to take some bits off it and stood in it!  IMAG0635 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr an hour later  IMAG0639 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr By now its lunchtime  _MG_8053 by DavidQuick, on Flickr So after a quick refreshment break it was time to attempt to put the shell in the shed!  IMAG0675 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr in it went!  IMAG0677 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr |

Then last week I spent a few evenings removing everything else off the shell and started to uncover lots of rust!!!   IMAG0692 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr  IMAG0694 by Chris 2cv, on Flickr Interestingly this seam is lead loaded I'm sure i've noticed the smoothed in effect of this on other 2cvs of this era is this something citroen used to do then stopped to save money on later cars ?
