And I'm very close to having your car's little friend here on the road...still need to go through the brakes, but all else is falling into place nicely.

I used to do cars that way...then didn't wanna drive them or risk starting the rust cycle again. Now I find 'em original and just keep them as they are. It works better for me.

Loving it. Hey, just found a picture of your car on Google images at some kind of Citroen 2CV page...at a car show. Was that a show you took it to in the Netherlands, or something over here in her past?

Nah...just wanted to know if it was a shot you were aware of. Obviously you are. If it had been something before you got the car, I was going to grab it for you or direct you to it.
