    Brings back a lot of wonderful memories. Many ours where spend with toolkit, Haynes and the homemade repairbook made by the Citroën Klub.

      Klub? Why not mount a Porsche Boxer In a Beetle? Or buy that Maserati engine Citroën? These Entes are only half a car. Try sitting in it all day long.
      You want real seats, not foldable beach chairs. And there is more that is weird.

    Kid applauding at 19:20, while the 2CV drives by, says it all.
    I do the same. Excellent restoration. ;-)

    Undoubtably enjoyable to restore, knowing the end result will be superior to the original factory build! BRAVO!

    Very good thank you...great music and editing...a refreshing change from the usual sleep inducing commentary likely to be rendered by a bloke with a Midlands accent that never lends itself to optimism.
    Cars with provenance are always worth saving...fantastic work and enjoy your forthcoming bachelorhood 🤗

    i drilled 3 times 10mm holes in the sloping floor panel inside our 2cv at the bottom of the bulkhead and sprayed waxoil into the doule skinned panel then inserted 3 rubber gromets into the holes, this stops the floor panels rotting out again in the future. hammerite smooth red is a pretty good colour match paint for the red 2cvs as well.

    I congratulate you from Argentina, yours after 17 years stopped was better than mine 4 years standing outdoors, I grabbed the worst hail in the history of my city, incredible but the hood survived and some dents, which did havoc it's the summers and winters, I have a lot of sheet metal work and now I'm doing the engine to new lift the engine by the staircase of my apartment, very heavy to take it up several stairs without help.
    Mine is a Citroen 3cv Prestige 1974 (it is equal to a European 2cv6).
    What I call the attention of yours are the tubes coming out of the gearbox, are lubrication or pressure? mine does not have it
    And another thing is the floating accelerator pedal, I thought that I had no more from the 70s or so I thought.
    I loved your restoration, I made some acoustic boxes made with watertight outdoor boxes and measure just enough to go parallel to the hood, and you can not see, very good design yours !.
    Currently I have the 123 bluetooth tune ignition, I have to see the advance curves to make it sharp, now I finish painting with thermal paint all and I will put fiberglass anti heat tape to the exhaust manifold.
    I congratulate you again enjoy it very much! It is an indestructible car and very fun to drive.
    Regards

    Eigenlijk zijn er maar 2 opties. Je koopt een ouwe eend met een geldige APK en je gaat rijden en houdt hem zelf bij, technisch deel en normaal onderhoud en vervanging van wat onderdelen. Doorrijden tot het chassis afgekeurd wordt voor de APK en alsnog naar Beesd brengen voor totale restauratie. Of je koopt een totaal gerestaureerde eend.

    How was the state of the chassis that's the most important part of a total restoration, everything else is a piece of cake only money and a lot of hours work, but a rebuilt on a bad chassis is like a house on a bad foundation, it will fail in time, so all the other work is than worth nothing!

    No heat used after painting
    so colour won't fade on metal?
