Nice! It would look great with set of Lowrider 13" wire wheels. They are very cheap too.

I started again on my lowrider 2CV .It has to be ready for the worldmeeting in Tsjechië .This week i started painting the wheels and fitted white walls on them i made 13 inch wheels with different offset between front and rear because i want to go as low as possible and each centimeter helps..I also adjusted the steering rack because of the 11cm smaller width of the front axle.Today i welded up the channeled body on the sides and in the trunk and i adjusted the inner wings to be able to fit the wheels more to the inside to go even lower .This evening i started welding a plate in small side rear window .Tomorow i will make new floor plates and front panel.

The car will drive as low as this the only limit is the tyres scraping the wings otherwise i would lower it even more.If i could drive without wings then it would be possible to lower it until the sides hit the road .I am going to mount titanium sparkle blocks under the car to make dragging sparkles.

Love those front wheels but not sure on the rear ones. I spose that if they allow you to be able to lower it a bit further then thats why youve done it but i think i would have narrowed the rear axle.
Gonna be good when its finished tho.
Only 2 and a half weeks till CZECH World Meeting, do you think you'll have it done in time??? Wink

Those rear wheels are weird but it was the easiest way to get the result i needed but with the car lowered you dont see a rear wheel because it sits so low .HA HA.

I will get it finished for Tsjechië i always get my projects finished in time .The last project the bike engined acadyane i build in three weeks and my previous body drop i did in less than a week .

Today i welded and sanded the third small side windows .A LOT OF SANDING WORK .but it worked out nice .Then i put the engine and gearbox in and started adjustung the chassis to put the engine as low and as far back as possible because my hood has to sit very low it is 5 to 6 cm from the ground now .Tomorow will adjust the fenders and i make mounts to fit them .
