Hey Patoune! The exhaust pipes look really WILD!
You will be able to cook toast on them!

The radiator looks rather small, almost lost in the front. Are you planning to cover the front hole with mesh or something?

Yes, it's small, genuine Citroen 2cv, but it's a small engine too, only 602cc.

Yes I am planning to cover the front hole with mesh... Next works! ;o)

Work on some customers cars delayed me ... New Westfield' engine built , a Saab 96 to re-start after 15 years...

But 2 or 3 days and may be the first tests on the road ... Tomorrow, the body should be in place.
