Disaster!

Another weekend spent in the garage and we have come across the worst news for any 2CV. With the help of the lads at H&H we took the body off and had a good look at the chassis. The side under the rotted floor panel was ok but the other side... well. The last bill we have for it shows quite a bit of money spent on welding on the chassis to get it through the MOT. Unfortunately this appears to have consisted of welding metal on at random, including plating over the heads of the bolts holding the front suspension on one side of the chassis. So setting to with a sharp cold chisel and hammer this plate was cut away and the rust it revealed was horrendous. Basically the front half of that side if the chassis is rusted out, probably beyond repair. So unless our local expert can come up with a solution we are looking at finding a good chassis to rebuild Marvin on. Oh well that's what happens when you pay £20 for a car!!! So anyone out there got a 2CV chassis lying about cos if you do we would be eternally grateful.
