2CV restoration - the rear window

It might sound like a Hitchcock thriller............. but there is no mystery, it is a hole in the body work!


Hmmm.... looking at this now the hole doesn't look half bad.... but once the dust was dusted away... oh dear!
So we called upon our very talented in-house mechanic and welder...


and yes ladies, he is single!

For the blog of a floristry site some of you may find the following images a little.... boring? but we love to get our hands dirty and try to make old stuff work... it is all about reusing and recycling isn't it!

Step One
Rip all the nasty stuff out

Step Two
Measure and make sure it fits


Step Three
Mark out the bits to chop


Step Four
Cut it so it curves and is more flexible


Step Five (six, seven, eight, nine, ten..........)
Weld it on


Perfecto!

The next hole.....erm...... that's quite nasty!


Our love for this girl is packed right down to our fingertips... so we will keep at it!
