Ipgo , if you could, you would be a star in my eyes Thankyou very much for your help so far

Here some pics from my yellow Ami (look at the left) body 100mm higherd?? just for inspiration
rearfloor section is from a Acadyane... It is sandblasted then flame Zincsprayd and powdercoated...... welded metal is stainless..... Made the sills (and the rest myself)

That looks like a fun project Floors in Stainless, Its almost a Delorian

It is a funcar with selfmade galvanised 4x4 chassis 3mm thick steel+ reinforced with another 3mm steel. Mehari 4x4 technics with 2cv4 primeaxle and front and rearwinch!!

about 7km/h at 6000 rpm 1 first gear low gearing!!

Playing around with Mark 4x4 Lewis at mount Olymp Greece!!
Funpart starts about 3min30....

That is a very cool video

Anyone spot the deliberate mistake in the previous photos?

Anyway here is tonights update, nothing is welded in yet, and nothing is in its final position, it is however all getting closer to where it is all supposed to be. and there is the odd bolt/selftapper pinning bits together here and there.
I have hit solid non frilly metal here and there to stitch to, Looks like I will be stitching to what I have to go from as I have some Datums to go from now.

Some Datums is a whole load better than No Datums, then when I have stiched it up I can cut some more frilly out and work from the solid stuff back.
So Things are looking up, still need to jiggle the A and B pillars about as the door gaps are a bit hit and miss.
It is getting closer though.



Need to put the captive nuts back in the sill for the seatbelt mount too (When it is all lined up a bit better)

I met the chap that used to own the Ami today, and although in unexpected circumstances (that I wont go into here), I am really glad I did meet him in the end.
There was a bit of a debacle about whether I was legaly OK to keep the Ami (I had bought it off the landowner)

The chap I met today is called Tony, and when the Ami got parked up it was structurally sound.It was parked up due to a few wiring faults and a smokey engine stopping it get an MOT.
No really, It had no rot to speak of and it was well looked after.
Through no fault of Tony (Once again no explanation will be given) things got out of hand and the car and others ceased to be his main focus.

Lets just say in the beginning the conversation was a bit awkward, Both of us being a bit guarded, but after a while we got chatting and realised we were both singing from the same Hymn sheet as to what should be done for the future of the Ami.
Once he had assertained that I was indeed saving it from Mother nature, and not scrapping it he was happy that I had chosen to rescue it.
He even dug out an old MOT for me , and sure enough a couple of Bulbs not working and a smokey engine had stopped play.
I spent a good chunk of today Chatting with Tony , and he knows his Onions with these cars. Today was a School day alright.
I also helped him get a couple of other cars he plans to move in the near future mobile. We exchanged phone numbers and I promised to keep him updated on the rebuild.
All in all a Good day,

Great; a car with a (his)story

The next thing that is puzzling me is what colour is the Ami, at some stage when all the solid metal is back in the shell It will be going back that colour (It may be a while) I really like the shade of Bluey grey it currently is but just cant seem to find what Citroen called the colour. Google has not been my friend on this occasion..
Any Ideas folks?
Thanks in advance.
