    I never paid any attention to those cars and am I looking at a air cooled 2 cylinder motor?.

  3. Any updates Mika? I guess you are knee deep in bodywork prep?
     
  4. Didn't anyone else notice in the first pictures how he has the motorcycle lift recessed into the floor? You can ride the bike on flat and then lift it up; too cool!

    Nice work ! My dad spoke French but I never picked it up. Your skills inspire many. I made floor plugs for my Olds with a socket and hammer and thought I had skills LOL ! Thanks for sharing your project. T C Bernardin

    I have wanted to see one of these modified in this way for a long time! A lot of the ones you see on the internet are photoshopped.
    Your beadrolling skills are excellent. Can't wait to see it done!!

    you always think you have completed something !
    not there are still details left aside when something
    So I come back to finish on the frame welds and make up a transmission and future large oil filter.
    some sections, sheet metal nothing touches the frame when fully assembled.

    the reinforcement in the gearbox and too close, I give the place a cup and a bracket for closed .
    it forms a small M as mika :D

    I must end supports anti-roll bar and some other welds, holes to pass cables and fuel hose and hose brakes ect ect ...
    and yes still waiting job .

    Oh my, this is such a beautiful car! My Dad was a tradesman sheet metal worker and i saw him make many amazing things including a complete car when I was small. You are a true artist Mika and it is a joy to see the work you have done on your 2CV.

    I don't know how I missed this thread from the beginning. Pretty cool. Doesn't matter if you like the car or not, you have to appreciate the vision and quality work. Nice work. Keep it up.
     
  25. Fantastic work, and on such an unusual car for this site.
    With the restrictions in your country, this is a brave build.
    I hope you have years of fun with the car.
     
  26. any thing going on
    still watching
