bit of a duplicate post as ive also joined the 2cvgb site
but i was on here 1st and had some handy helpful tips and advice

anyone know any history,it was bought by me off car and classic from someone in sussex and b4 that was owned by chris salter,apparently came down from Scotland i was told by chris





not got many decent exterior pics as its under my car port being worked on

heres an old floor that was covered up by another floor on top and repair panels underneath!
the sill was mostly left in the dustpan when i finished cutting

Hey MATTT, good to see some pics of it at last!

Is that on a 2cv chassis, or do my eyes/knowledge deicieve me?

i havent a clue about the chassis as no history with the car nothing excpt the V5 came with it

its not rusty so maybe its been changed , they use the same chassis though>? apart from ive been told the ami is stronger ? but i dont know why or what the differences are

ill check if you know what to look for?

mattt

The springs look like smaller 2cv ones to me, but i migh be wrong. Ami8 chassis last forever anyways.

made a bit more progress
one side is almost finished now
couple more seams underneath to seal up and a small repair on the B post then onto the next side !

Excellent work!

It looks like it's all coming together now then, I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. At registers day there was an AmiSuper which had just been restored. It had been dragged from a field and was in a real mess, the guy had no previous experience and made a really nice job of it, I neglected to take any photos but it went to show even a car that's comparitivelt hard to find can be brought back from the dead, keep on plodding!

managed to get a bit more done this week and today,not touched it for about 3 weeks
this side seems a bit worse than the other side as the front door pillar will need a lot more work
finished off the floorpan today though so just needs some repair section made up front and rear
getting there slowly!


i found a bit of rust today !

good to see you're still plodding along with this, Mattt.

WELL
as it seems to be Ami month on here i thought id bump mine back up

started back on the body about 3 weekends ago,the front inner wing is finished and wing is back on
cut out and repaired the rear bump stop mount,it looked ok but had a rough patch and fibreglass over the top
then finished off the end of the new sill
repaired a small area by the rear bumper mount
just got to do the strip along the top now where the rear wing bolts through and thats all done
the wing needs work before it goes back on though

then either onto the roof gutters or probably going to get the outer rear wing off and see!

ive taken some pics as i went so i will add these next week if anyone want to see

still need some seats,or else im going to have to bite the bullet and get them recovered

Well done that man!!!!! That is quite a project you have there.....enjoy.
