Now here's a sweet chassis to base a 2cv project on! Cool
(for sale in Jersey...)

I wonder if it could be possible to find the blueprints of this steel tube space frame? Rolling Eyes
A juiced up GSA driveline should do the job just as well as that sweet Panhard Tiger piece.


Just drop this sweet body nice and low on top and we're good to go... Wink

(Shouldn't be too low in the back though, I think it should keep a hint of the aggressive, forward pushing stands from both the MEP and the original 2cv!)


Now that's a low ride...

wouldn't it be way more cool, just to be able (and allowed) to drive a "MEP" on the road??

Imagine, laughin' at all those kitcars the make on the base of a 2cv, when you pass m...........

Hell, i would even put on a little crazy helmet and a pair of glasses to make that happen, really Cool

Guess you are right, it's cool enough just the way it is...
And I donīt see why not, if you can drive stuff like the Ariel Atom on the road...

There are a lot of stranger things on the roads.
In germany this guy is driving his F3 on the roads... Wink

the MEP is fast becourse it is super light. Put a 2cv body on it and it will be as slow as a ... 2cv again. The suspention will be rubbish becourse it is designed for the superlight PEP body. I don't think it is a good idea. Buy the thing and drive it on cirquits :-)

True.
I'm sure it would be snappier than a standard 2cv or even with a AmiSuper platform on the road, if the suspension is adapted to the weight of course... but in my eyes it would not be a 2cv any more, and the MEP is pretty much perfect the way it is. Rolling Eyes
