This Charleston just came in from Boston. The whole right hand front of the car is rubbing on the front wheel as the frame has collapsed!!!!

This car will have a brand new galvanzied frame along with new floor pans and exhaust system.

The later 2cv all had serious problems with the frames rusting out, so don’t leave it until it’s too late!!!! If you have any doubts or concerns about your 2cv please feel free to contact us!

Grey on Grey Charleston

January 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

We start off with a bare body shell. It is stripped to bare metal. New front floor pans and inner and outer bulkhead panels are welded into place. The shell is then prepared for painting in primer then in top coat (customer chooses the colors). Then we start off with a brand new galvanized frame and refit all suspension/axles/ etc to make it a rolling frame. Then the body is lowered onto the new frame and we begin the process of rebuilding the car.

 Every car has the following installed

  • New Bumpers front and rear
  • New seat covers
  • New headlining
  • New soft top
  • All chrome trim is replaced on doors/fenders
  • Stainless steel bolts for fenders
  • New mudflaps
  • Carpet set front and rear
  • New hood soundproofing

 Lots of extras can be installed some examples are robri chrome trims/complete stainless steel exhaust systems/custom chrome for engine/engine compartment/radio/speakers fitted/new tires and lots more please feel free to contact us for more info on this.

All cars come with the latest 602cc engine/disc brake gearbox/LHM system. Every car comes with all paperwork needed for you to register and title the car in your state. We offer nationwide delivery if you don’t live close to us in NJ. The cars are all 25 years or older so that means they do not have to meet and US safety and emission laws so no problems there.

Please feel free to contact us for more details and pricing on having a fully rebuilt 2cv.
