Citroen Rosalie

Thanks for watching this thread, I am building this 1932 Citroen Rosalie, trying to use as many european parts as possible, for the simple reason that they are easy to find and affordable.

This is what the body looks like originally. In my opinion way to long and wide.
Need to solve that.



Shortened it.



Narrowed it for 20cm



Welded the lower part.
chopped the roof 4"



This is what the front should look like with a 4" chop.

 

^^^^^ x2.

 

x3

 

Hey GJ, Welcome to the HAMB, Looks like your really getting stuck into it. Pretty sure i,ve seen that Citroen on Marktplaats. Been quite a few there lately. I have something for you here in TIEL. Small world huh. . Cheers, Henry

 

aaah man! pleace hack-up a volkswagen instead of a rosalie

 

Hi Henry, Yes i need that for sure I have had it on Marktplaats because of to many projects.
After a while i did started it anyway, everyone is sceptic about the end result, wich i can totaly understand.
But i assure you that these 100 pieces of rust become something nice
I can only say; stay tuned.

 

@ D.

sometimes you want something different.
Cut up to many VW's allready

 

What about that bus in the shop, looks like a rare one to me with the round taillight.

 

Citroen's make cool Hot Rods...

Looking at the windshield in the chop picture, looks like the roof actually gets wider at the top? Unusual. I look forward to seeing more.

 

No its not goint any wider, altough it looks like it in the picture.
this weekend i am planning to spotwelding the roof section, and get it aligned.


@mika: really like your project (great metal work)

@magnus: it is a 58 panel,

 

This looks like a great project! What are the plans?

 

I'm interested.
