Nice restoration and thanks for sharing. I like to see people doing it without just throwing money at it. Hope to see more

I love these cars. You did a fantastic restoration on your Citroen 2CV!

Thank you very much for the nice comment.

For not knowing what you were doing you did a great job, if you enjoy the hard work then good for you. I never made a ton of money working on cars, but I enjoyed what I was doing, everyone got a quality job at a cheap price.

Nice job my friend!

Nice work! I had a Dyane as my first car and my dad patiently reconstructed a c pillar from thin air for the MOT... Great fun cars to drive - I hope you enjoy it and this encourages more people to fix them up.

I've always wanted to make restoring a vintage car a bucketlist item for myself, it's very promising to see that someone who has no idea about cars can succeed in the end :)

Bravo my friend. I’m so glad you had the progressive images to make your clip and then post it. It was fascinating to see your tin snail deconstructed and the finished project is a beauty. Why do people post such stuff? In a spirit of generosity I suppose. I am full of thanks that you did.

Very nice job 👍👏

Beautiful duck! My dad restored a couple, the first (painted limo black) was a '64, 17 some-odd hp, and I got to drive to highschool, it was a tonne of fun! Good work there!

Car wasnt actually in that bad shape, and you did great work. congrats.

A real passion and a beauty!

Wow! Hard work and determination.

Very good - it probably is now better than when it came off the production line!

Very inspiring mate! I mean especially if you started out with little or non knowledge on mechanics. It shows that if you put your mind to it, you can do anything..... or nearly :-) However, beautiful car, good job there. Love the older French car's !!!! Especially Citroën (and Renault). Hope you will be able to put more of them back on the road.

nopochoclos that's how I started too. 3cv are the best engine version to drive around everyday I think. The older ones are better fitted for weekend and leisure drive arounds. Good luck for your restoration.

Pity you didn't show the interior upholstery overall nice job. Love the colour.

Très bon boulot de professionel! Avez-vous changé l' allumage par IC ou vous avez gardé l' allumage traditionel par bobine et vis platinées? Parce qu' avec l' allumage tradtionel, les démarrages doivent être laborieux par temps froid! En tout cas, merci bcp pour la vidéo!

Lovely job what rust treatment did you use

@OldTimerGarage

3 жыл бұрын

On this one it was several coats of Rustol CIP and then phosphating primer.

Superbe travail! Pour les soudures du métal, par quoi avez-vous remplacé les pièces rouillées, et quel type de soudure avez-vous utilisé? Je rêverai de faire ce genre de projet, mais malheureusement, c'est soit le prix, soit un état trop endommagé pour mes moyens, sans compter la place inexistante...

Merci pour le compliment. Quand les pieces sont rouillees, il est impossible de souder dessus. Je soude avec un poste MIG et fil fourre (sans gaz)

My pleasure. It is nice to see kids who like classic cars.

The real question is where did he find such a clean cv

I would love to own a 2CV but here in America even the cheapest 2CV is going to cost a good $17,000 and I just can't afford that. Do you think it would be possible to build one by buying one part at a time?

You can probably buy a good one in France and import it into the US for much less than that.

I could for sure but I don't really see the "classic" in these cars. They are still pretty new and don't have much value for me to spend thousands of hours and euros in restoring them.

such repairs on the chassis are not recommanded, the best is to afford a NEW chassis (originals are built by "Mehari club de Cassis" who buy all the original Citroën factory tools): not so expansive and you have a quarantee the resistance is ok (exists in anti rust black paint or galvanized)

nice work! but you say you now nothing about cars and then did a full restauration? thats sounds like: "i never used a computer but i programmed my first Game!"

Congratulations, I think your superb work will inspire others to save more old cars. Someday, I hope to purchase a 2CV and work on it, my wife owned 2 of them in the 80s but they are now very scarce in Ireland. maybe I will look in UK or Europe. I see you are also a pilot .. let me know if you visit Ireland and I will take you for a trip.

John Brennan thank you. You can still find 2cvs rather easily in the UK. I used to have one here. Their price is going up though. I plan to go to Ireland at some stage but need to grow my businesses a little more first 😀
