Re: 1979 Jaune Mimosa 2CV Hopefully. She wants me to go camping near Eastbourne or something, I want to stay at home and build my duckhouse. The way tensions are at the moment Itll probably kick off, I'll be unwelcome in the house and spend the weekend at work doing the 2cv.

Re: 1979 Jaune Mimosa 2CV Body off tonight.
Couple of pics of what that badger did to the chassis crossmember.

Re: 1979 Jaune Mimosa 2CV How hard is it to build a chassis? I can't afford to buy one and I've never liked the (now damaged) chassis on it.
Looks like I've got to do family stuff at the weekend, which I'm less enthusiastic about than I would be about getting stuck into this thing. I'm not sure how far to go with the bodywork. It needs a patch on both floors for MOT but ideally I'd like to do:
Both floors
Both sills
Full lower bulkhead
Rear seatbelt mounts
Bonnet hinge
Both front wings
C pillar
A panels
Rear sweeps
Chassis
Spring cans
Dampers
Seats
Windscreen
Other broken bits.
Depends what a can afford.

Everything else you can do with it on the road.

Re: 1979 Jaune Mimosa 2CV I don't want to keep using it like a wreckage, I'd like to finish it, get it right and then use it, not patch it up and keep on driving a sack of crap.
