This is what it looks like right now with the stock beam and bumpers.
Nice photo. I feel the background symbolises 2020 for me... A bridge to nowhere!! [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

I already disassembled the rear suspension. Took of all brake lines, cables, parking brake lever, shift lever and shiftrod.

The seat frames and jack points were cut down so I'm removing those too. A little rust spot underneath the right seatframe.

I'm slow on updates as usual  Pan is fully cleaned. Removed what was remaining of the jack points. Some rust there but nothing big.

The left tube for the handbrake cable was broken of. Luckily for me Nicolas made a tube that fits the chassis and the outer cable. Thanks Nicolas!

The progress in real life is faster than the progress of this topic luckily  The pan has been welded and powdercoated. I'm reassembling it at this moment.

Keep up the good work! Will the disc brakes in the back be a problem for the technical inspection?  Yannick |

Yesterday Peter helped me to get the engine mounted to the new chassis. I also cleaned up all the threads I could reach to bolt the body to the pan. Almost ready for the marriage [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

Thanks! It's a Citroën AC4 parts car. My dad has one that he restored in the 80's and got married in. It was hit by another car once. We had to buy this one for parts since parts are really hard to source for these cars. I've tried to find a picture of it, but can't find any |

Maybe an SM/Maserati V6 would fit under the hood? Marc |

The last months I've properly attached the body to the pan, hooked up stuff like the heater etc. The electricity is mostly done now too. I had bought a different speedometer too since mine broke. It's from an auto bug so it has more warning lights. I'm going to use the ATF light as the warning light for the line lock One problem though: the speedo cable wouldn't go in this speedo, the input shaft was mangled. So I opened both speedo's to get the input shaft from the original one. I also painted the needles orange while I was at it to match the VDO gauges [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

This week I mounted the carbs and fuel lines and started the engine. I also put most of the carpet back in the car Today I'll mount the seats and go for a test drive [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

I swapped seats with Dem (Wolfswest) since he wanted original seats and I wanted bucket seats. The original seats I had weren't going to fit on this pan anyway (2 point vs 3 point mounting). I first mounted the cover and piece of carpet to the rear seat. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] I also bought stock seats for 100 bucks for the technical inspection. I installed those, I'll install the bucket seats later. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] I took it for a test drive around the block, everything worked fine |
