My wife is French and can/will do all the translation Sounds good.... Are there any 'cross meetings local to you this year? I can't do much until after the WM. Maybe the september event I can get to. It is south of Paris just down the road. When are planing your trip to France? http://www.2cvcross.fr/calendrier.php

Re: How do I build a 2CV cross car? Russ, you do realise that you won't be able to run it at 'bottoming out on fag-butts" height don't you?

Re: How do I build a 2CV cross car? I'm looking into this again, quite seriously. The shell and chassis' I've aquired are ripe for this, although there seems to be a minefield of things i don't understand (how to aquire a license, various things about the way the car has to be built etc). Something I did find when looking at the regs was this set of pictures:   and this quote to go with them: Quote: Cet arceau était conforme aux normes exigées par le règlement technique 2005 et il était construit de façon exemplaire.
in English: Quote: This RollBar was consistent with the standards required by the technical regulation 2005 and it was built in an exemplary manner. The regs ask for a cage made from CDS, yet they seem quite happy with using three bits of straight tube and a pair of preformed bends for the main hoop!! The regs have changed slightly now, but even so, to call this a car built " in an exemplary manner" does seem odd, I'd have thought a single piece hoop made from a bit of any old scaffold bar would be better than this?

Re: How do I build a 2CV cross car? So far, I've arranged a chassis, a body and now the (hard to find in UK) 2cv4 gearbox. now all i have to do is assemble them all in the same place...
Chassis is near Cambridge, Body is near Canterbury and the gearbox is near Paris. I have an engine and suspension, a seat and most of the rest of the panels now too. I need a roll cage though.

Re: How do I build a 2CV cross car? Sounds like you should go to the Easter camp and pick up the chassis on your way home then

Re: How do I build a 2CV cross car? I had considered that, but it won't go on the roof of the Ami.
At least, i don't think it will...
