I must have finished this half a dozen times now!! Only recently having “perfected” the interior, I then spent over a grand on an audio upgrade!

Bigger engine is definitely in the cards in the next couple of years. Still bounce between V8 or M57. I’m strongly considering a roll cage as well before the engine goes in.

Rolling with laughter I'm a sucker for the V8 sound (and grunt) I too considered the M57 BM engine but I think petrol V8 is the way to go personally which is why I did just that! The straight 6 is a lovely engine and the sound is great too but V8 trumps it as far as I'm concerned. Roll cage is also a wise addition, I don't have one but I can see the benefit. I lost count of the upgrades I have done but the base vehicle, while great, needs to be adjusted to to suit each persons needs. Mine is getting ever closer but still needs a few tweaks. I don't think we'll ever be totally finished will we Laughing Thumbs Up Citroen 2CV. (Written off)

Great art is never finished 👍

Just think how bored you’d be if you weren’t fettling.

Gratuitous front end shot from this morning. Still not sure about the twisted grille, keep thinking a body coloured standard grille would look better and hide the AC condenser more. What does the collective think?

Take your point about better camouflaging the AC condenser but the grill looks great in my opinion and fits well with the light surrounds 👍

I know what you mean and I can’t bear drilling holes back into the grille surrounds after filling and painting them. I’ll break out the black radiator paint for the condenser again. The last coat has barely lasted a year mind, any brands out there that anyone has used that last longer?

I've tried all sorts of combinations of grills and headlight surrounds, including a mesh one, and always come back to the standard grill. Darren

Hmmmm

It's very much a personal choice (obvs.) but I have never managed to like the whole wide open mesh/visible fan/rad aesthetic. It almost looks as though something is missing?. Rgds.

You can still refit a standard grille and lights surrounds after filling the holes etc. no need to drill new holes Thumbs Up Andy
