If I may, try not to mix styles (30s Ford inspiration with LED lights/3rd brake lights... for exmaple). I think the 40s ford lights upside down will be much better !

Bye Hi Jozef, tnx, but it's not ford i am using but the double chevron citroen logo , which happens to like much like the 40's ford light. The 3rd breaking light is not LED, but still uses bulbs, if they brake I will exchange them with LED's _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top stefan Dropped Joined: 25 Aug 2007 Posts: 257 Location: holland Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 8:20 pm    Post subject: i think every throttle body is airtight if it is in a good condition. otherwise it would leak false air even with a non turbo engine ,because a vacium is also very strong (maybe stronger than pressure) _________________ Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 1:48 am    Post subject: backfire wrote: Hi Jozef, tnx, but it's not ford i am using but the double chevron citroen logo , which happens to like much like the 40's ford light.

Citroen doesn't look cool. When you say "Citroen", everybody thinks "Grandpa driving a Xantia"... You can look to my 2CV, there is no Citroen logo and that's why! _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 11:04 am    Post subject: Maybe that "citroen" brings a bit different ideas to different nations people. In finland 2cv is always citroen is there citroen logo or not. It has here nothing to do whit grandpa and Xantia, exept if you walk whit white pulover whit red citroen logo, maybe then. For me I'm more worried that it looks like 90's hitek street rod or 80's chevy vans whit chevrolet logo shaped windows. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top backfire Dropped Joined: 14 Nov 2007 Posts: 346 Location: NL, 's-Hertogenbosch Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 11:46 am    Post subject: Haha Etienne, if you drive a 2cv in The Netherlands, by default you are a grandpa with or without a logo. I Have been driving 2cv since 1988 and I don't mind what other people think, if I like my 2cv with logo and it makes me happy driving it, then I will keep on driving it. Psst, Olli my 2cv is from 1987 and will be a street rod, so maybe the idea is not so bad. Alternative is to modify my orgignal rear lights, turn them transparent and change the angle. You know I got the idea from your drawing _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top backfire Dropped Joined: 14 Nov 2007 Posts: 346 Location: NL, 's-Hertogenbosch Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 1:05 pm    Post subject: Some old pics from turbo project, ok it looks strange,but this way I can fit the alternator at the normal place, the left and right tube have the same lenght and this way the exhaust tube are the shortest. Based on pictures of the enginebase it should fit. I will have to make heatshields to protet the bonnet and the engine. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top Olli Soviet-Finn Photoshoper Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2146 Location: Soviet-Finland Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 8:36 pm    Post subject: I like turbon installation, it looks cool! For style.... Try to look out nowadays street rods. Taking ideas from 90's when street rods was popular is not maybe best idea. Example Chip Foose's stuff is worth of looking. -Olli _________________ www.ollierkkila.com Back to top Lionel Dropped Joined: 11 Jul 2007 Posts: 258 Location: NANTERRE-PARIS suburb-FRANCE Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2007 9:59 pm    Post subject: I agree, he is one of my heros since his days at Coddington's. His father, Sam, is building cool rods for others since a few decades. http://www.chipfoose.com/gallery.aspx?LinkID=tn7 Troy trepanier is interresting too. http://www.radrides.com/gal.htm _________________ 0 to 70 in the same day!

Maybe in the end I don't like it, but to become as good as Chip, you have to try things. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top backfire Dropped Joined: 14 Nov 2007 Posts: 346 Location: NL, 's-Hertogenbosch Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2007 8:09 pm    Post subject: Today I made a test for my fuel cap, Fender is the old rusty one with some dents. Better to have an old fender go to waste then a new one. First I made the pipe and the holder (example is the peace of cardboard). In the ring a drilled the holes and on the back of the ring I welded a nut. _________________ 2CV, with Visa turbo charged Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         SNAIL Forum Index -> Your ride All times are GMT + 2 Hours Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8  Next Page 2 of 8   Jump to: Select a forum SNAIL forum----------------General chatMeetingTechnicYour ride Sell/Buy----------------For SaleWanted  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
