there.s a thread on youtube-- 2 brothers found an early citreon i posted this---
sorry fellas, but this some kind of joke, you have a potentially very valuable&old/historic 2cv there worth a LOT
yet you take the whole thing as a joke! no welding equipment/ proper tools knowledge

can you post the video link?

sounds like it could be Hollises "trip to the end of the known world"? but awaits proper link

They dont take things too seriously but the car will be "used as Andre intended" Id rather see that than have it over restored and a stupid price tag hung on it

sorry! i forgot to post the link
i,ll try to find it again

I thought this too

yes its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtGymz_M ... ure=relmfu

i MUST admit that i only looked at the first chapter and jumped the gun
so apoligies to the fellas
we all start somewhere
i didn,t like the way the fella removed the steering wheel/columb with a lump hammer though
or the welding up of the cans

Still works. It just got them too Gibraltar and back.

Hollis has a special touch.

If anything he has helped the car... It was pretty shagged. He managed to get it up and running and complete a very hard task in less than 3 months. It would probably have just been scrapped if he hadn't have saved it

Here's the video of the journey. Since Richards Mum was diagnosed with, and passed away from Motor neurone disease he's taken to raising money for MNDA through various bizarre and adventurous schemes and trips with altogether unlikely 2cvs based vehicles. A couple of years ago, he and regular co-pilot Stu MacDonald piloted a stretched 2cv all the way to Turkey...







Here's the link to their just giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/2CVedgeofworld/

Whilst I've been involved with some of Richards race cars and I will happily accept the presentation and preparation isn't what I'd be proud of, there's no denying that what he's achieved, and their positive, happy-go-lucky attitude, with spades of good humour is a credit to the 2cv community.

sorry, i jumped in too soon i still reckon using a hammer to the underside of the steering wheel/columb was a bit over the top-
but perhaps thats the correct the way to remove it from the spline on the rack,?
just blugion the underside of the steering wheel with a hammer?
