 Re: 87 sh*troen Olli's is a real work of art. I love that he used mostly original pre 1960 parts, including an original chassis. It's beautiful and well thought through.

Re: 87 sh*troen Also totally impractical?  Hope you noticed that Olli and Etienne had to wear ear defenders to cope with the lack of any silencers in the exhaust system, such as it is. Not too sure how you'd manage without a heater during a Finnish autumn, never mind a winter... samfieldhouse wrote: Olli's is a real work of art.

Re: 87 sh*troen Just get a second hand galvo chassis from ebay when one comes up. And then if you get one just make a cool 2 2cv in original style (body work)
