Awsome details so far!

Those rims look amzingly real! nice job.

From the looks of those wheels, somebody parks using the 'Braile Method' :icon16:

Nice progress so far, I look forward to seeing it completed.

yeah thats not lookin too bad where is a pic of the shell ? :)

nice wheels. i can kinda see the car in my head right now....dented...scraped..... hope to see more!

yeah that would be cool, is that the sort of theme your going for ? like doors hanging off and stuff ? :)

Last day nothing done, 'cause i Was ill.

this is how it stands on my table now.:screwy:

I don't have anymore to say, but tomorrow i hope to do some work on the rear.

Denman

woah
you are crazy
nicely done.......i like your word
respect

little correction in dutch it's not a duck but a goat ( geit)

Nice work my friend.
The rust-job looks verry realistic!

I added the rearwheel section ( is the suspensionsystem is the simplest part of this kit, just screw together:grinyes: )

And dry fitted the engine, cooling and bodyshell.

On the background is (maybe) the next project:evillol: .

now the dryfit tryout feels OK, I'll glue the engine and cooling to the chassis and do some detailpainting.
I just have to find out how the sparkplugcables are assembled so i can add these.
You can see on the shell is still nothing done:jump3:


Denman

I'm a little shy to say this, but it's gonna be quiet aroud the 2 CV for a wile:disappoin .
I made a little mistake and forgot the put the bodyshell away and the children let it fell to the floor. No problem sofar, But our dog thought it was eatable:banghead: and destrojed the body.
So now i have to find a new body ( i still have some connections) before i can go on.

Don't cry, it will take a few weeks before the next update.

I'LL BE BACK:mad:

Denman

How bad is it? You could go far a "horrible accident" look. ;-)

Dont sweat it! Shit happens.

I found an other option. Building a kitcat.

I konw this will hurt some people very bad:evillol: . Using A '41 Willy's bodyshell to make a kitcar with a 2cv engine. But I'm dutch so don't worry:screwy: , next week they are comin' to take me away:rofl:

Denman

thats could be cool, the 2cv shell looks cool aswel though, if i wehre you i would still go for the citroen :) nice progress ........

Here we are again.
The willy's body is sprayed in greyprimer and the holes for the rearlights are drilled out.

The hole in the hood needs some plasicard to be filled.







And now to the real project!!!!!!!!!:screwy: :nono:

http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10136/hakwerk%201.JPG
This is the big idea. A Citroën 2CV with a 383HEMI.

Th willy's chassis has been sawed to pieces to fit the engine into the body.

Enginebrackets has been placed to the front of the suspension now.

I'm busy with fitting the willys chassis under/ into the 2CV floor.

So now you're up to date with this fine project:screwy: :banghead:

Denman:sorry:

I thought your shell turning into the dogs dinner?

I found a new body ( from a friend who destroied the rest).

Denman

Super!
At last another 2CV!

Great job on the wheel and overall weathering :worshippy

Also this seems to be turning into an amazzing topsy turvey project!!

Looking forward to seeing how it develops :bigthumb:

What's going on in this thread?!

:ylsuper: The 2cv is turning in to a hotrod/streetrod
:gives:
there will be a 383 Hemi under the hood or what's left of it :screwy:

Denman

I've been very busy with my dremel to saw all to pieces.
The fitting will be a lot more work than i hoped for:banghead:

Here some pic's of what is destrojed to fit the 2cv.

The engine won't fit. Why didn't i use a chevyengine:banghead: . 'cause i like hemipower!!!:grinyes:

Denman

wow! It`s a BBIIGG ENGINE!

So 383 2CV and a Willy with a 2CV motor?
