Love the steering wheel, nice and high and is that the placement for the guages?

Mister Towed · #**102** 3rd February 2014, 08:49

Looking very nice Zeb, how long before you take to the road?

froggyman · #**103** 3rd February 2014, 08:51

Good to have you back with your interesting build! Wheels and gauges look great and your bonnet fits well now.What's next?

zèbre69 · #**104** 3rd February 2014, 12:49

Thanks a lot !

To answer, I've take RV for the paint this next spring.

Now, I have to create new hindges for the bonnet because the old ones was not good in fact. I've find some steal part at my job to built them.

I would like to built also the dashbord next WE.

Nice work Zeb. Those road wheels look the bees knees !

Not long before it's on the road now. Good luck ... keep going at it.

Sebastien - Good to see some updates from your build, it looks very good.

Did you have to modify the bonnet to make it fit?

It looks like the original 2CV Sammio bonnet had a hole & "bulge" in it..

Bon Chance, Paul.

Mars'69 · #**107** 9th February 2014, 14:38

Hey Sabastien,

Looks really very nice! Can you manage to mount the airflter without making the bonnet scoop? Would make things easier - that's for sure..
Your bonnet seems to fit quite good - that gives me some hope it will fit nice on mine as well.
Like your wheels very much. I was sure to put on wire wheels from MWS but now that I see this, I'm having doubts as your wheels look great and are cheaper and lighter as wire wheels.
I'm also making progress - you will see it on my update - hopefully today.

zèbre69 · #**108** 9th February 2014, 16:43

Lot of thanks,

I will have to modifiy the bonnet because my carburator is not in place actually and I dont have the place for him under the bonnet.

At the beginning I wanted to fit wire wheels but I was desapointed when I have seen the cost, arond 1300 - 1500 euros for 4 wheels with adaptators. Wy wheels come from another kit for the same donor citroen 2cv : burton company. The cost in around 530 euros for 4 wheels without pneumatics, same size that the original 2cv spare.

Hello !

Special thanks to "papatruf" for his time on photoshop to paint in red my car , good idea to have a look on the final result !

Very sorry for level in English ....

zèbre69 · #**110** 3rd February 2015, 09:07

Lot of problem with my bonnet due at the mold's quality...

Up:

Down :

New hinges, better thant the other ones for the bonnet :

My calender in aluminium :

I wil cut the tube later but to have an idea :

same problem than Mr Towed's SAMMIO :

Mister Towed · #**111** 3rd February 2015, 15:26

Yep, I had that droopy cockpit edge on one side too -

I built up the difference with filler and it's held for more than two years with no problems -

I do like what you're using as a grille, what's its origin? It looks like it might have been a towel rail or similar.

Paul L · #**112** 3rd February 2015, 15:38

Sebastien - Thanks for the update.

Your grille is going to look great when it is finished.

Good luck, Paul.

Looks like the Ikea grid thing that sits on your kitchen worktop for hot pans etc. cannot remember what they are called .Soz.

I just had to think-of and manufacture a grill for my Miglia and i wish I'd seen your solution earlier as even though I'm happy with what I've got, i've now got more ideas

Is it a trivet?

swifty · #**116** 4th February 2015, 18:53

That is a very neat idea and if it's off the shelf then its even better, saves a lot of hard work.

Its good see things being used from other purposes.

Useful if the engine overheats!

Joking aside, it's a neat and attractive solution.

Hello !

Some news of my sammio.

I've juste received my seats from INTATRIM SEATS in England. The result is very good and make a nice look.

The seats are not fixed at the for the pictures, only put in the car.

* *

A big job now : put the bonnet with good size and symetrical indeed ! I d'ont undestrand why the bonnet is so bad done see these pictures !!

Paul L · #**120** 28th October 2018, 08:27

Good to see an update.

Shame you still have a lot of work to do, but at least everything in fibreglass can be fixed.

Good luck, Paul.
