You're going to have to develop a significantly thicker skin, mate, if the ups and downs of doing that up aren't going to get you seriously pissed off and diving for the can of unleaded & matches...

There's a lot of pics there of some serious skip-fodder panels - but not so many of the important structural bits.

What's the chassis like? Toeboards? Floors & sills? Rear seat box? Get those seats & mats out, give it a good sweep out, and piccies!

Adrian,
maybe best not to mention those buckled A panels, then.
They might just be indicators of what lies beneath... :(

Right, Nice to be back everyone. I started stripping out my 2cv to see what really lies beneath the rust, dirt, socks and yoghurt lids. :P Yes believe it or not all of those were uncovered. Right got you all some colour photos of what been happening recently. I got down and dirty scraching of the paint and rust. Well i decided to get another LH floor well as the previous welding looks like it was done by an 8 yr old affraid of sparks. So wanted panels now are, X2 inner wings both sides, LH floor well and boot floor. They are all fairly expensive with me only earning £10.59 a week + £5 field money so £15.59. :geek: Got to get savin.
I have decided (all be it a little early to do celeste blue car with same colour wheels with chrome wheel caps. You may disagree. I think it will look different and personal to me. Also got an engine + gearbox 4 sale if anyones interested. Let me know. Thanks all and more update on mi car comin up soon.
Regards Tom :)

Chassis was replaced in 1998 but it is not gali or like the original. Its seriously strong. I will re-paint it eventually but been warned its horrible. Good good. More dirt and oil! Wooo Get my hands dirty. Love it.

98's early for an aftermarket - probably Wheels.

Get the shell off - it'll make cleaning and painting so much easier. And photography, of course.
