It's easier if you do the rear sweeps at the same time, I find it difficult to change a back panel without damaging them.

Probably harder to find an NOS back panel...

i've bought a fifties 2cv and I got another rear light panel with it... if you want it...

this guy sells his shell for 250

I need some spare parts of this car... lets buy it for 500€, you take the shell, I take the rest

That's interesting Hans, What parts would you want? I'd be happy to buy it with you and take the bits I need. (The shell, doors)

front bumper, maybe the inside door panels? engine+gearbox and all the cables and those detail things around the motor

Fingers crossed. It's bloody expensive, but having emailed the guy, it looks promising!

Jei my friend! That looks very good idea Hopefully you get that one.

Well I'm posting the money off tomorrow, and have pencilled in the 19th of December to go and collect it. It *should* fit in the rental van...

Mmm.

A 2cv will JUST fit through the back doors of an old-shape Merc Sprinter, width wise. A van is wider than a 2cv. A Dyane won't fit. A Mehari won't fit unless the rear frame's absolutely shagged.

If you turn the shell on it's side, you should manage, but handholds will be trickier, and you'll need something to put under the side of the cab section to support it, avoid any risk of banana'ing the shell.

I'd be wanting to make sure what van you're getting, and the exact measurement - and bear in mind 270deg doors aren't ubiquitous - 90deg isn't good enough, because it'll restrict width further.

Don't forget the wheel boxes.
