Welded the top ends of the doors yesterday







Did the minor cracks in the rear fenders today...



And welded the gasoline opening..



All will be finished with lead..... so no plastic filler on a 50's car Exclamation

Thanks Bart,

Unfortunatly I can't promise to post regular updates..... Sad

Last november my 3 year old son was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. We spend the last 6 months in the hospital while he bravely had several intensive chemo-therapies.

The work on the Barbot was stalled during that time but is now a sort of 'therapy'.... My son is doing well right now, we are at home, but we have no insight in the future.

Let's hope the best for the future, if everything goes as we hope the Barbot updates will be regular......

Forgot to mention. The Barbot has a purpose: Raising funding for KiKa (Dutch organisation for research and curing of child cancer).

Owww that's very bad news. I wish you strength and hope he recovers soon!!
Don't worry about no updates, that's of minor importance.

Thanks guys.

It's unbelievable how 'normal' things can change in a blink of the eye.

The project is now connected to the health of my son. As so, the car will never change hands as long as we live....

Let's hope we can all meet at the 2016 international 2cv meeting next year Exclamation
