i was hoping to get it finished for the London to brighton :(

i suppose i could just put the wing back on as it is-not sure if it would pass with the rusty roof sections though abover the drivers door on each side?

Post Re: MY AMI 8 BREAK pt 2 !
well after fixing a lot of mechanical issues ,and just using the car for a whole year ive decided to tackle the gutter and top of the doors
drove it into the car port and took the chrome strip off the front tonight

next step is to take the headlining out and most likely the screen too

Mattt,
good luck with that, looks as though it'll keep you busy for a while.
If you haven't got one of these, it could be handy when it's time to refit the windscreen seal.

When I dabbled with Minis I used to use these for putting that strip in. They're not as hardcore but you get a number in the pack and you'll never use them all.

You don't really need that tool on Citroen car. We fitted the strip first and the the screen.
