It's not all my own work as Lomax kit cars use a similar system to mount there mudguards.

Exhaust system is just the standard 2CV exhaust manifold that feeds a cross-box silencer which fits under the gearbox and from this a straight exit pipe along the body. The exhaust note should be quite enough but have a little bark at revs.





The seats are also a simple set-up bolted to the floor.






I'll add a bit of trim after the MOT and some "road development" is under taken.
But for now it's hopefully just functional enough to drive. ray2:

Good work

We got around to fitting the rear internal mudguard.



I take great pride in recycling items.
I found this Range Rover air filter in the rubbish.



I cut it about, sorted out the bits I needed then welded it back together.



It ended up making a very simple and very cheap exhaust pipe guard.

.

I love the heat shield! Its comming along well.

Spare wheel fitted Lomax style.
The weight of the spare wheel is held by a long bolt which passes through the wheel then through the side of the car and is fixed in place with a wing nut, the light cradle at the bottom of the wheel is to stop the wheel moving around.



The pedals are now closed in with a cover folded from sheet aluminium.



Smart new coil brackets now hold the coil firmly replacing the cable ties.



And finally a pair of mirrors, there not my first choice but they were under the bench so much cheapness.







I am just waiting for a new idle jet then I can fire it up and see if ti drives.

One of the last job to do was fitting a guard over the fan belt drive so I modified the original 2CV fan guard.



The new jet finally arrived and once fitted the car fired up and ran quite well just needs a little tuning on the carb.
When I tried to drive the car unfortunately I was unable to engage 1st or 3rd gear.
The gearbox connecting rod would not roll back far enough to engage gears so it needed to be cut, bent and re-welded.
The photo show an original gear stick and the correctly modified one.



Once this was done I drove the car out of the workshop and around the car park under it's own power.










The mirrors are not my first choice but they were hidding in the draw so they'll do for now.

Apart from the trim and paint that's all the hard work done.
Now it just waiting for DVLA to sort out the paperwork an MOT and a little "road development" and it's ready foe sale. !!

If any ones interested please PM me with an offer!!!

I managed to get hold of a few rattle cans so put a little paint on the car.





It looks black but it's supposed to be BRG.

Mike – With the LHD, are you planning to sell this in Europe?

Over the years I have built several of these Citroen 2CV based cars and all but one have gone some where in Europe!
So hopefully LHD will make it more desirable and help sell it.
