Chassis is galvanized. I guess they just changed the chassis and ignored the rust by plating it. I showed it to one of our french customers and he said, ''so what'' normal to him

This 2CV is heading down under to continue her life but the rust needs removing before. It will be a Personal Import so the 2CV doesn't need to comply with ADR (Australian Design Rules) except be roadworhty. Attachment: P1050005.JPG This French rivert repair job will be rejected in Oz. What do I find underneath? Attachment: P1080195.JPG Rust never sleep. Attachment: P1080198.JPG Both floors and pedal floor gone. Well seen it all before, no surprise here. Attachment: P1080199.JPG Attachment: P1080200.JPG Attachment: P1080201.JPG More later, back to work |

So you can replace just the bottom of the inner front bulkhead then? |

Yes, no need to replace the complete lower pedal floor. Must times it is only these panels which are rotten. Goodbye right floor and sills. New tomorrow. Attachment: P1100231.JPG Attachment: P1100232.JPG Attachment: P1100233.JPG |
