Does anyone find the mistake at these foto ????


THE PEDALBOX IS AT THE WRONG PLACE !!!! ARGHHHHHH!!!!
I fixed it to much outside. Therefore I canīt fix the cluthcable, because it is to short now and the axle of the steeringwheel doesnīt pass the pedals ... ARGHHHH !!!!!


Now I cutted the complete part out, make a new metallsheet and than, I will fix the pedalbox at the right place and the heatingpipe will fixed on the other side.
But now I have no inputbox for the clutchcable. Itīs welded and I wonīt cutt it out as well Evil or Very Mad

I coverd the steering wheel with a cord, using for packages.

the rustpaint is only at the painted "letterings" the rest is original rust

I want to tell you, whatīs happend to "la Belle" during the last months ...

I decided to fix other front fenders, because the old ones didnīt fit to the bigger engine. The cylindres touched the fenders, because the fenders didnīt have the curved surface :-/

No I had to paint them as well. I used an ordanary paintroller for couloring the fenders. It mad a rougher surface, like an old wethered paint. At least, i covered it with my so loved rustpaint :-)

Hey, thanks a lot Laughing

hmmm ... the headlightstand ... Rolling Eyes

I made hundret of different versions ... sometimes you canīt close the ripple bonnet ... sometimes it hits the alternator ... and at one time, I canīt change the headlight level Twisted Evil

At the end, I cut off the old original one at theire feet and welded it on the 2CV6 headlightstad. Then I cut off the pipe at the alternator an fixed a part of strong metallpipe. I was very glad to find a small peace of a very thick and with a large diameter at the rubbish of the lokal hardware store.

But i had to cut and welded it together two times. You can messure, you can proof, you can try and at least ... it doesnīt fit Evil or Very Mad

But now it fits very well and the level of the headlights can be choose easily Very Happy
