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.



This French rivert repair job will be rejected in Oz. What do I find underneath?



Rust never sleep.



Both floors and pedal floor gone. Well seen it all before, no surprise here.







More later, back to work

The real surprise is that it's not taken the chassis out, too...

WHY DO THEY DO IT?

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

Ah. The tin floor already killed that...

Yep
Time for coffee INSIDE, its bloody cold, no heating, aarrghhhh

Stage one
Outer pedal floor welded in and coated with premier.

One more coffee break, waiting for the premier to dry

Stage 2

Inner pedal floor done, except the egdes where sills will join later.

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.

Cheers Viking that's good to know. Bottom of my inner front bulkhead's going where it joins the floors (they're going too).

Today's effort. RHS floor and sill stitched it, still need to fix front and rear door posts. Rotten as usual. Still struggeling with 0 temp. but thats life.
