Title: Custom Citroen 2CV.
Post by: Manky Monkey on September 16, 2007, 11:07:00 PM
How about this then? At the Hot Rod Drags at Avon Park today.
No idea if it's home buil, a kit, or a kit intended for another car that's been adapted. Not even sure if it's steel or fibreglass. Very well put together though.

That's great!  And the fawn colour really suits it too.

Saw lots of 3 wheelers with 2CV engines at the Wessex show.

The builder's apparently thinking of making jigs, taking moulds & building a few more.

Looks cool from the front but the back does nothing for me. Each to there own.

Other way round for me -I love the Dan Dare rear mudguards!

I like it! Keeps popping up on forums, but Ive no idea where its from or who built it! Looks like the rocketeers 2cv to me! 8) There is another hot rod 'esque 2cv Ive seen some piccies of. Its orange and looks like its made from corrugated sheet! Ill see if I can find it.

I quite like the rear end but it doesn't go with the front - a bit like those kids books with divided pages to you put bits of different people together.....


Title: Re: Custom Citroen 2CV.
Post by: Manky Monkey on September 19, 2007, 01:26:03 PM
I think the back looks like it should be the front.


Title: Re: Custom Citroen 2CV.
Post by: BikerGran on September 19, 2007, 01:54:34 PM
You're right!

And thinking of it as the front I've realised what it looks like......

Lunatic, the car you refer to is prolly a citroen van, they have corrugated panels.


Title: Re: Custom Citroen 2CV.
Post by: lunatic on September 19, 2007, 06:42:22 PM
Nope! found it. probably made from van panels though.

That is cool Looney ;D ;D ;D where did you find it ???

I think the front end from the other one fitted to the Orange would look really cool ;D ;D :-[

Apart from the cartoon ehausts, I quite like the orange roadster. Love the curved Citroen rear suspension arms. Once the body's removed, the standard car already looks pretty wacky.

What are you worth for scrap mate?

According to Dean Wood Exports, metal has gone down in price.  :P

the orange 2cv that loony found, looks like a teardrop trailer on a chassis?

Looks like you're depreciating then VB!
I checked my Post Office pension details the other day. If I snuff it before I retire I'm worth 70 grand. Alive, bugger all.  :(

Whilst denied access to here I went surfing and on the recommendation of a Dutch chap I entered the warped world of "The Snail" a forum set up to promote custom 2 CV's. I have 2 booked for the mag already and I must say I am hooked.
Once the Pop is built I will try and find a cheap 2 CV to weave my magic on, purely in the interests of BritChopper you understand.
I have a good idea what I want to build, something between the grey and the orange cars featured earlier.

BUT I must concentrate on the Pop first and she is off up the barn this sat and we will hopefully start the butchering in the next couple of weeks with our very own Manky Monkey as official photog 8) 8)

Taz & I are on holiday for the next 2 weeks Shaun. Not going anywhere so available for photograffing whenever we're needed.
I'd like to do the Sheffield NSRA swapmeet at the end of the month, (Sunday 28th), but otherwise we're available.
