popular french car 2cv

Very similar to a torsion bar under a trailer, with two large hydraulic dampers. Pretty cool setup. The 2CV always looks like it's about to roll over in a turn, but they are surprisingly agile and they track true.

Always wanted one of these little beasts! Came very close to having one shipped from Germany about 20 years ago.

 

All very nice and yes i had one too (in the early 90's) but what has this 2CV to do with a hotrod ?

I am watching this looks fun.

 

May not be a true hot rod, per se. Vos compétences sont excellent!

 

Nice metalworking. I'm looking forward to seeing what it ends up looking like.

 

A 2CV body is as light and simple as it gets for a fully enclosed car that size.size.

 

hell yea. you are crazy. but so am i. i love it!

I read a magazine review of a 2CV back in the day, and the thing that I remember was the article said the back seat was like sitting in a hammock. A car for the masses, interesting one for a build.

 

I love your car and I like this fake add for the c2...which is a spoof of the C4 add belowVVV

Pretty cool project, and you have some great skills!
I really like it!

 

This build is outstanding! Nice lift built in the floor. Check out www.elpsycho.com See what else the French are up to.

 

Very cool build and real hot rodding - taking what you have and improving it.
Great workmanship as well. Where are you in France?

 

How about fitting a 60hp Panhard flat twin, or a Citroen flat four?

 

man i totaly dig it. i got to say your beadroll skills are top notch!

 

Crazy car , not really traditional hotrod , but good metalworking skills .

 

That's some beautiful sheet metalwork.

My two favorite 2CV are the factory made Sahara, with front and rear engines and 4WD, and this one.

 

that comerical was great.. made what this man is doing come to life for me as iv never seen this car before.. zero technology haha.. dose remind me of a bug that was still born tho, cool project none the less.. great fab work with the bead roller too.

Might not be a hot rod, yet - but nice fabrication skills and a nice save of a worthy car. My vote is for a 1300cc GS or GSA flat four. It does fit, and has been done quite often. They rev high and have a lot of power. 100mph in the GS! I know, I had one 25 years ago.

Awseome skills. And I am with AC3, that tricked out table in the floor is the bomb!

 

That one is fake.

If you look carefully, you can see the front spindle was a piece of galvanised tube from a scaffold.

That car was put together to make a poster that was sold in the '70s.

The wheels were borrowed.

I talked to a guy who said he wrenched on the car they belonged to.
( a sports racer, If I remember correctly )

 

i grew up with baja bugs after watching this car on youtube off roading i want one of these and put a motorcycle engine in it from a crotch rocket.. man that be fun i bet.. my brothers crotch rocket hauls butt. i cant drive a stick any more because i shaterd my left leg so i had to sell my baja bug first time since i was 15-16 iv not own a vw baja bug.. im 37 now.. but with a motorcycle clutch and what not i could drive one of these i bet probably damn rare around here tho.

hello
tank you
yes is not hot rod , Metal Works is an exercise before my hot rod ford 27 .
I'm sorry but I thought you would enjoy .

 

CUSTOM! Interesting enough to keep an eye on, that's for sure. If you need to practice on something, this is it. I bet when it is done it will get a lot of attention.

 

Car nut is universal I have a tr3 hide out for when I finish my coupe looks great !!
