Not tempted to weld a strap between the two ends? Like that channeled one in dunkerque?

 Re: 1987 2CV Bamboo
So, last weekend neil and I accidentally wrecked the Slamboo in an ill advised trip to Wales. This weekend is all about repairing it. So far:  Broken engine out..  Broken gearbox out...  Which revealed the wales-damaged undertray...  Wales did this to my exhaust too...  Here's the bottom of the chassis...  front arms off.... TBC
