Looks too small to even be an oil cooler :-)

The radiator looks rather small, almost lost in the front. Are you planning to cover the front hole with mesh or something?



Yes, it's small, genuine Citroen 2cv, but it's a small engine too, only 602cc.

Yes I am planning to cover the front hole with mesh... Next works! ;o)

Lots of room for a supercharger then....

Alway in progress.

Electricity, gear lever, hand brake, pedal box… it’s done !

Next step… Front and rear brakes !

Not much to do now Patrice. Test drive at Christmas?

Work on some customers cars delayed me ... New Westfield' engine built , a Saab 96 to re-start after 15 years...

But 2 or 3 days and may be the first tests on the road ... Tomorrow, the body should be in place.

That looks quite Nippy and fun. Do you know how much it weighs?

Any update on these? I presume they are IVA exempt in the UK as they use a 2CV chassis? Would love one!!!
