|
Well as you could guess, Im new here and Im learning to use a forum. Im Jack, 18 years old living in the UK, work as a Citroen mechanic and have a Dyane6.
(Shedspeed is kindly adding the pictures for me after as I havnt had 5posts yet)
But its a 1979 Dyane 6 Weekend, was in a very good conition before hitting a fence 2 nights ago and distroyed the front end.
It wasnt as modified as some on here, she was lowered with a slight rake, oil breather fitted, blue LED bulbs that I had been pulled by the Police, it was more heavily serviced and kept running as I thrashed it a bit but still I have plans for it.
Look forward to comments
Thanks

That's a cool Dyane! I already saw it on flickr some time ago. Shame about the damage, I hope you'll get it fixed soon.  |

Hi Welcome here!
Oh!! It hurts me when I see a damaged 2cv...
Is the chassis damaged?
Good luck to repair it!

Whoops...
but if the chassis isn't hit that's an easy fix...
Good opportunity to change the colour of the car.
I'd lower the back to avoid the Rake.

I now see the potential to remove the rake but like i found out, i dont have the weight on the wheels so it understeered in the wet and i hit that post, shame really and also where i live its impractical for a low car as the roads are quite bumpy, good old marshland roads

it does seem an easy fix
I like the color, perhaps sanding the whole car with 2000 paper to make it more matt could make it even cooler
and replacing square plastic lamps with some older ones |

Those stupid fences! They never look before they cross the road and most of them have no insurance! Bad luck! Hope you can get it back on the road soon.

Yeah, I have survived, bit shaken that that was my first serious crash on a road that i have driving on neally every doy for the past 8months.
Earlier in the week I was racing a Saxo and a Renault 5 (surprisingly I can easliy race and win against cars like them as they dont handle on lanes) but on the same lane i go to work and back we where racing and the Saxo ended up in a ditch at quite some speed.
From then on I have been going slowly down there and on the off chance that was the only wet corner, wheels locked at 30mph and went straight into that post, JOY.
