Hi,
Good progress made but only a few pictures:
Forming new panel for the back door
It's a bit out of subject, but working on this part, I remembered the posts of Gary Austin about the conversion of Diamond Lil.
Before seeing his restoration thread, metal forming looks for me completely out of scope for a people with no skill in this field like me.
Our current work is really, really more simple compared to what he did, but I remembered the good time discovering each day on WIX the impressive progress done.
It's incredille how it's possible to miss someone you never see.
The back door finished: lot of work on this one: it's not visible but the door is a curve, not very easy when you are discovering the "real job" of metal forming.
The left door's window mechanism is complete: on the next picture, we did trial with a template before ordering new windows. (More simple to adjust a sheet of plastic than the definitive window
)
On this left door, the new sheet metal is ready for assembly; just waiting to work on the right door and use the new sheet adjusted for left door as a template for the right door. (In fact, there is no straight line on this car, so cuting a new panel to correct shape is not so simple)
And the fuel gauge, just before been removed of the car, for a complete restoration
It's all about progress.
Just a few more information about this car:
In fact, it's not a complete/original Citroen. The "undercariage", the engine and all the mechanic part are "Citroen" but at this time, some cars could be sales "partially" build, and were finished by small company. When restoring the car we found the dataplate of the manufacturer of the car as "utility car". It was visibly a very small company. It explains why this model is relatively unknown (I only found one picture on internet of a similar car after hours and hours of search)
If you'are interested, next time I work on the car, I will take a few pictures to detail the relatively simple engine of the car.
Regards
