Liking the wheels man, nice to see something different ;p

Spots are cool too, but i prefer the 2cv though ;]

Alex

Cheers bro!

Haha thats my dads, he recently took a saw to it and cut the wheel arches away! got mud and snow tyres, snorkel, spots

600cc of raw power :p

Nice to finally see it here,and looking so well.

Wheels and grille give it some period class,fogs work with it,got a great look going on there - still unsure about the Sweeny-like sports lamps though.

2CV looks great to those of us who remember the rally versions. Sahara edition is little more than a lick of paint away..

Thanks mate!

Spots are marmite had mixed reviews but they'll stay for now :)

Just need a bit more razmatazz under the bonnet!

the whole car works well mate :)

Thanks mate :) Just on to a few engine mods now got a 4 branch coming, after a gk inlet mani to go with the weber and a port and polish coming up!

nice mate, I'm doing engine bits to mine atm, need a manifold myself, where did you get yours?

what weber you gna be running? seen the DMTL polo weber on ebay that I'm tempted by, too much money though

I bought a manifold off a guy on here brand new, its a rennsport one :) Phil j also does one

Mines a dmtl 32/34, bought second hand in good condition with a filter, and all the cables and adapter plate needed for 80 quid :)

Just need a damn elusive GK inlet manifold!

wow love the wheels :)

and looks really clean and tidy, big fan of the rally-spec front end too, being from devon the extra light is so useful! I used to have 4 spotlights mounted on my roof lol

Thanks bud!

Just replied thanks for letting me know what the gk inlets are off! any alternatives?

gk manifolds came on european cars..fairly rare over there tho :(

car looks nice and clean , id lose those spot lights and get a 4 lamp grille , and whats that black line on the bonnet?

Fitted goodridge braided hoses as mine were getting pretty worn down, and a nice shiney new master cylinder as the old one was just starting to fail the day before, then pumping the pedal to bleed the brakes finished it off! Stops a lot better than it ever has! :)

Next up, exhaust manifold times!

braided hoses next for me :)

have you got your manifold yet? I'm still waiting for mine...

I love this car matey, keep up the good work and make sure to keep us posted of any further alterations

Darrell,

They do make a good difference :) nice solid feel!

Not yet mate, total fuckup from parcelforce, delivered two manifolds to one guy! so hes got mine, although now its been picked up by another (hopefully more reliable) courier so I'm hoping early tomorrow! Got the day off work so ill be able to fit it! :p

Thanks mate! still going :) starting on the engine mods now :) 4 branch, carb, porting/polishing/blueprinting!

ooo sounds great, be sure to post up some pictures for us

I'm liking that alot mate, wheels work really well on it!

That is a damn nice car :) How you getting on with the jackson arb blocks? I've been thinking about some for the loon....

Oh and your dad into his citroens? My dads got a DS pallas he drives everyday lol....

Thanks chaps!

Retrowagen they are reet good! Make a sweet difference to the handling and also stop the wheels catching in the arches on full lock :) would recommend a set!

Yeah we had up to 4 2cvs at one point! luckily i got into volkswagens instead :p although they are great fun!

4 branch manifold is on :) loving it makes a nice noise and bit more poke!

Got hold of a GK inlet manifold! hopefully fitting it today!
