Engine revision     Number 3 bodywork

History of number 3.
The history of nummber 3:
After studying the vehicle document of number 3, I googled the previous owners and got a feedback indicating that this car was driving in Scandinavien winters at the beginning of this millenuim. The motor fired up even at -20°C and the (summer-)tired generaded sufficient grip in the snow. The two pictures were taken in Lillehammer in March 2003.

The engine compartment sn't on showroom level. The overhauled engine starts on the first turn of the key and runs smoothly, the gearbox shifts with no noise and the brakes brake.
The firewall is still in original condition to show the history of this car.

I am no specialist in painting cars. I tried to show that with my camera. Well, to my mind a 2CV with 7 layers of mirror finished paint is no longer a 2CV. Cars that have undergone a willful rotting procedure are not my taste as well. A 30 years old low priced car should look like this one :-)
The 2K paint I was using is from the German company Ludwig-Lacke color RAL9010.
