...................................................................


thank you to all who follow me


for the color I chose a dark gray , the wheels and the bumper dark red .

if you have other idea's made ​​me .
can you make a photoshop on working tool ? for color please .


was soon mika

 

Looks pretty neat. Can't wait to see the finished car

 

No kidding! The ultimate pizza delivery truck!

 

quite agree with you delivering pizza working tool

 

It s NOT ok to chop
Absolutely no modification is allowed.
Sort of. You can change the wheels and the paint, that s quite all ...

 

I'm an outlaw road .
can not be modified the cars in France, but we take the right .
I leave the engine stock in order not to get noticed

 

That s what make having a modified car in France a so mystical experience.
You have to start learning praying

 

Subscribed! Such amazing work!

My new favorite quote!

 

front axle NARROWED .

cut axele of 1.5 inch left and right total 3 inch .






geometry adjustment of the axis









drivetrain cut









steering bar adjusted










good look

 

That is just amazing Mika!

I think you will be asked to do a lot of these narrow axles now.

 

Very kool work on the axle!!! I've never seen suspension like that before... It's like a VW front end on crack! Would make a neat front axle swap on a (don't kill me, please) bug....

I really dig how aggressive it looks with the stance and the rake of the chop. I think I have a new favorite build...

 

Vous etes un vrai artisan. votre travail de metal sont extrordinaire! bon chance! desole par mon Francais mauvais

 

merci beaucoup . votre français et tres bon

 

thank you very much to follow my project it is heartwarming, and really makes you want to go further

 

Brilliant suspension system, but it's an interconnected system in which the front and rear work together:

The way it works is, any movement at one wheel induces an opposite movement at the wheel at the opposite end on the same side. The result is extreme flexibility in warp and very favourable behaviour in pitch, leading to a very comfortable ride for such a short, light car, and decent handling. And because all this prevents asymmetric suspension inputs from inducing torsions in the frame, the designers could get away with a very light, simple ladder frame.

Just to give an idea:


Adapting this to a Bug would mean having the rear arms picking up the Bug's rear semi-trailing arms via some kind of shackle or link, because I wouldn't use pure trailing arms on the back of a rear-engined car!

 

Great work, great shop, gonna be a great car!!...........Grand magasin, bon travail! Bienvenue sur le HAMB et nous tenir au courant.

 

Very nice work Mika! This is a really intriguing build, partly because this car is so different from what we are used to. It is good to see the work of craftsmen from other parts of the world!
Keep the updates coming. We are very interested!

I remember riding in Citroen cabs in Germany. The suspension could be set so soft you'd almost get sea sick in them. And you could drop them low, or jack them high to tip-toe thru flooded streets or rougher ground. Gary

 

Would those have been CXs? The ride height is adjustable, but not the spring rate. The spring rate is in any event variable (rising-rate) but as the gas mass remains constant (ride height is adjusted with the hydraulics, not pneumatics) the range of rate variation over the suspension travel stays the same.

Motion sickness sets in below about 0.8Hz, which translates to a static deflection (droop) of over 14" . I think the hydropneumatic Citroëns are about 0.9-1.0Hz at ride height, i.e. the figure suspension designers aim at when considering ride quality in isolation. The A and M series (2CV and derivatives) are probably around 1.2Hz, which is at the soft end of the range for conventional passenger cars. By contrast my VW Golf Mk1 on aftermarket suspension is perhaps around 2.0Hz.

 

^ What was the middle part again? All I remember is that it was fun to ride in them, and funner on the way back to the barracks after a night at the "fish" bars! Gary

 

Your car and craftsmanship is fantastic. I am subscribing to this.
I've always wanted to tour Europe driving. Don't really care about the tourist areas,but wanted to meet hotrodders in different countries. Maybe one of these days.
Keep up the great work.

 

You have some mad sheet metal skills, I cant wait to see it finished! I will be honest the car started out looking like a afterthought from the factory but what you have done with it makes me want to go find one for me. I can not wait to see the 27 as you build it!!!

repair the hinge of engine hood .








the stripping of the cover .







I'll make louvers .
I have to prepare the press louvers

 

this car is looking sooooo cool! I wish I could come see it in person. You work looks great.

 

hood and full of louvers .
I make my support louvers press , the press and a louver "lowbuck williams usa " modified by mika for 2cv hood
it also serves as support for bead roller .







modified presse louvers .









manufacture of louvers .

 

Mika, looks like you have an auxiliary brace structure on your C frame.

I too have some of the Wilson tools, just not the louver press, hence my interest.

Did that structure help?

 

WOW!! Your tools are amazing! Your passion is equally amazing. Long live the rebel who chooses to put art and craftsmanship above stupid government rules. GREAT JOB MICA!

Incroyable! C'est votre première voiture modifiée? Vous avez des outils et des compétences spécialisées fantastiques. Quelle est votre profession carrière? Je suis heureux que des gens comme vous se rebeller contre les règles. Cette voiture est belle. Il apears d'être plus fort (plus sûr) que la conception originale aussi. Les gens ont besoin de voir cette œuvre d'art. Merci de partager toutes les photos détaillées. Je me suis inspiré.

J'ai traduit cela sur Google Translate. Je ne parle pas français. J'espère que vous comprenez.

 

tank nexxussian .
yes I have an auxiliary frame, is the support bead roller .

 

thank you dropout
your French is better than my English
yes this is my first car modified ,but I already feel a lot of other cars .
my job is chemical Industry .
the metal cars are my hobby

 

awesome project and creativity, to bad about political restrictions on creative people's ideas, but I dig the hell out of it anyway Mika thanks for sharing
