My wife took some photos of me and my 2CV the other day. I'm so proud of my new car!
Boy have I aged in 4 years!
And since 1997!
Still lots of detailing and minor things to do on my 2CV since I bought it about 3 weeks ago.
I'm trying to get it detailed for the big car show this coming weekend.
This week, I removed the rear bumper which was painted white, peeling and resprayed it a hammertone silver finish to match the front. It turned out exceptionally glossy considered it came from a spray can. I guess the temperature and humidity was just right!
It looks better than the front but still does not match it so I guess I'll end up painting the front bumper to now match the rear!
I also spent about two hours fabricating some L brackets with my chop saw, measuring, drilling to mount to the rear bumper for my Tennessee number plate. So I will be compliant.
I figured I could get by pulling it out from from under the seat for maybe a week if I got pulled over by saying I have not figured out a way to mount it yet. But figured by now it's been long enough. I actually got passed by a police officer the other day who didn't even bother to stop me!
I fixed some of the loose interior bits like the bulkhead insulation which has come loose. I had to pick up a hot glue gun today to finish the repairs.
Still waiting on my silencer, exhaust clamp, oil and air filter which I ordered last week.
I guess I'll take care of that after the car show.
Once I get the car all cleaned up and bumper back on the car, I'll post some more pics.
