Neil wrote: Nice, Norm. Have you set yourself a goal for it to be finished, or will it be ready when it's ready?!  If you dont have something to shoot for it will drag on and on. We are hoping to be using it at Cropredy in August so lets see how it progresses. June seems to be full of weddings and stuff so that could be a bit tight! Heres a couple more pictures to drip feed you with and we will soon be upto date. Did you know the profile on the 'b' post of van has different shape to the 'b' or 'c' on a 2CV? Oh yes and its not available! After some research and a helpful email from Pete Abbott it seems a C post repair post can be bent to achieve the desired affect.

 Re: AKS400 Pastis
Excellent idea on a van, to limit that rock 'n roll... I remember taking the Peta Carter/Phlotley Acadiane down to Mallory for a bedding-in run just before it went off to Australia for that 'Raid Oz then drive back to the UK' business. Got boxed in so had to drive across a slope to get out and thought the van was going to fall over. ken Norman wrote: Its the way it came!
