Those seats are looking great Mr.S!!! Think you will have a winner there once the paint start-a-flying!!!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks T Been sitting scratching the 'B' pillars ,the lip around the opening for the doors to close on ,locks, and new door cards ...oh yeah door hinges too !! all fiddly bits ,but its close to starting paint now ;D

Chris.

 

[Chris S]

So ,Here's my meager scratchings for today ;D

I made up the lip that runs around the door opening .On the 2CV this is a round section so I made it out of 1mm round stock ,then made an fitted the 'B' pillars ,the plates to hold the door catch & the door catch bar .This all improved the look of the side .

Before ........



And after ......



Here's a better look with the body off ....



While I was at it I made up the lip for the Boot/Trunk to close on .



Thanks for looking.

Chris.
