hi

if you check out my AMI topic you will see that I adapted hydraulic shock absorber fixings onto a Dyane chassis with friction shocks.

it was a very simple job, you shouldn't hesitate to do the same.

how good is your actual chassis ?

Hi,

I think its not to bad to be saved.

Its covered with rust but it looks not brocken.
Time, steelbrush little welding and color and i hope its okay.
The floorpanels was made from wood, therefor the chassis was open too...

My 1989 2CV was in worse conditions so I dicided to buy a new frame 5 years ago.

The motor is out but the fight with the gearbox is much harter than with a modern one. Handbrake wire and drive shaft is a little complicated. I will search in our "technic section".

Hi

unbelievable, after 2 month I a have my gasbottle from the weldingmachine back.
In germany your gasbottle have to have TÜV and the company made some mistakes with the date for my bottle Evil or Very Mad

So i bought some sheets and blinkers and headlamps and other stuff.
Normaly i will start up with weldings, but the rain will stop me. I have only this "outside" garage Rolling Eyes

And in 8 day i travell to southamerica for 4 weeks. So no weldings and Embarassed

no World Meeting.

[quote="june"]Hello
I am really happy with my AZU. My nighbours and my landlord are suprised about the car. "You really get TÜV for THAT?" asked one. OF COURSE! I said

First thing was the "SNAIL" on a new left fender, fix it a little and take a photo.

Sorry all pics are deleted, because there was now traffic. That was because for long long time I have no update. I will try to restore the old pics
Embarassed

But during chrismas holiday i work on my AZU. Because I will go to Finland this summer. It is also my 50th birthday Wink

I think the AZU should be littler higher in the back and lower at the front?

Or the 155 Wheels are to high?

I will only paint the lower half of the AZU:

thanks for the painting tool Razz
