Stephanie’s 2CV- Ebay Hatches a Duck

This customer located down in Virginia contacted me, and she was happy to find someone on the East coast not too far from her who worked on 2cvs.

The car was purchased off eBay from a company in Europe.The car looked nice but the customer wanted a different color.After a few emails and phone calls the car came up to me to be painted in its new mini cooper yellow and black fenders.

After I inspected the car I came across a lot of problems, the most important one being the frame was in really bad shape and very rusty. Now the car is having a brand new galvanized frame fitted to her.

Work which will be done on the car to bring it up to the standard the customer wants:

1.Complete respray inside and out

2.Brand new galvanized frame

3.New shock absorbers front and rear

4.New brake lines though out

5.New brakes front and rear including new rotors

6.New clutch

7.Engine was stripped and we found a broken piston ring hence why engine was running bad and smoking

8.New electronic ignition

9.Complete stainless steel exhaust system

10.New soft top

11.New seat covers and interior

12.New door panels
