thanks bart but really I prefer the 2cv body!!!!
if I don't find one perhaps I'll cut the acadiane but it's really not sure!!!!
if I did it it' ll be just for fun

I lowered the front too and it seems to be quite low with the channeling it 'll be good I think

this weekend I had time so i begin the first step of the project
to put off the acadiane body to keep just the " chassis" with mecanic

after 3 hours of work it's good

and then put it in the garden ( alone it's not really easy !!)

it' ll stay here till I finished the project
(hmmmmm so low !)

then I keep the " chassis" waiting till I find my 2cv body to continue

Before you find a 2cv body, you should dismantle the axles and engine and start cleaning all that. Check all the bearings, now it's the best time to change if some are damaged.
