Yes mate, I'll be up Friday for the Ami mot, and then we'll get welding the van on Saturday!

[quote="Russellhalf a new sill sitting there. The old man found them in the lockup eariler, I had no idea I had them! That's cut the shopping list down a fair bit now, [/quote]

If you're feeling that cheap I may have the leftover bits of sill still sitting around that I cut down to fit a van. I can have a search for them if they're any use to you.

I've definitely got two sill rear-halfs, too, and I think there might be two even closer to Russ by the end of the weekend...

Just think; if he had enough of those bits of sill and welded them together into a sill sandwich to make a strong floor he wouldn't have had to change the chassis!

Got a little box of bits from ECAs today, and tomorrow, I'll be ordering a big box of bits!

I started cutting the shell apart earlier, found a few more bits of rot, it's really getting me down. I know by now I should expect 2cvs to be rotten, but it's a different story when it's mine. Usually somebody is paying me for doing it, and buying the bits...

On a more positive note, I started making the door plates for the roll cage. I need to put some holes in them, but I think they'll do the business.

I've been doing a lot of O/T at work recently, and I'm absolutely shattered (I don't know why i bothered tbh, it aint worth the money) so whereas i should have busted into this this evening, I couldn't be arsed to go and find the welder. I have to spend tomorrow getting the Ami ready for it's MOT so that's yet another night where this won't be getting any attention. I should be able to spend a bit of time sunday doing it though, and with any luck the panels might be here by then. It'd be nice to blast into it and get it done in a day.

Thanks James, I'm sure it would have been handy for you to have taken one apart and put it back together again, it's the only way to learn I think.

It's already on a 'new' chassis.

Well today's payday, and it seemed silly to leave the money sitting there in a bank account, so I've ordered all the bits I need to repair the rot I found last night.

Easy come, easy go...
