because this car has been such a shambling turd for me, I don't want to use it any more, and because of its non existant reliability I can't see anybody wanting to pay me a lot of money for it, I want to turn it from something that looks like this:
...into something a bit more like this.
I'm not 100% sure I will have the money or the time to do it, but next year I'm thinking strongly about taking a long weekend out to go and compete in a round of 2cv cross in France. I have the bamboo which has a solid rot free shell and a galvanised chassis, now, I've read what I can understand of the rules for building a car ( http://www.2cvcross.fr/rglttechnique.pdf and http://www.2cvcross.fr/rgltgeneral.pdf ) and because my french skillz are pretty dire, I need a bit of help.
Here goes:
*Do I have to use a genuine citroen style chassis, or an Ami8 chassis, or, can I leave it on the galv chassis it's already got?
*Do I have to buy a roll cage which has some sort of official approval, or can I make one myself?
*Do i have to be a member of any clubs or organisations, or can I pretty much turn up and race it having handed over a few euros?
* I don't understand anything in the regs about fire extinguishers, do they have to be plumbed in with the addition of a hand held style one?
Thanks in advance, as i said, I don't really understand a lot of what's written in the rules there, and I don't want to go ahead, build a car without knowing what I'm doing and go out to France only to be turned away.
I did email the 2cv cross people but they simply told me to read the rukles as everything I needed to know was in there....
