 Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. I feel I must say the tube nut pictured in a pre chiselled state was the only one that came off without the chisel treatment, the others were worse.
Sean I remember you saying about the steering column, the bolt came out fine and the spline separated very easily, this car is strange, some things that should be hard are easy, and visa versa!

Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. Todays progress, axle refurb. They looked to be pretty good, king pins are fine, I have a recent ish invoice for having them sorted, so it was just a case of cleaning them up a bit. Crusty, covered in underseal and grease.  A while later, following some aggression with a twist knot wire wheel in the grinder, and a load of degreaser.  And front  Then spring cans and a few other bits.  Started masking up in the oven..   Etch primer on..  Rust preventative primer  Then on with the shiny shiny.      I wanted to get the chassis painted too, but time got the better of me, it'll be next weekend for that now. The mini doesn't quite know what to make of it all.

Any idea why it says AV1 on one side of the can, and just AV on the opposite side? I'm guessing the AV is meaning Avant, French for front?

Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. yep i would imagine thats the reason
i know the cans arent handed but maybe they put 1 on one and not on the other so it has its own side?
