Ok this is getting beyond spooky!
We seem to be doing the same jobs simultanousley on two cars in two different counties!

Although I still suspect your valver will be finished before I get mine ready.

And indeed, your valver game in general is strong!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

You are both being operated by the ethereal after-life presence of Andre Citroen to ensure the maintenance of the valver legacy..

Yes, good work John. I don't even want to look under the carpets in mine as I think they have become structural!

I can't make out what the second photo is of, sorry. I'm sure you'll have it finished before mine is running correctly...

Thats the outer sill, or rather it was the outer sill. It is now a rusty holed thing that once resembled a sill.
Mine was rather bad there too.
But not anymore!

Getting the bodykit off without destroying it can be fun.
Quite why Citroën felt the need to use planet grade sticky stuff has always bemused me slightley.

Ahhh, I get it now. The black thing on the right is the petrol tank then.

Ouch. Is that both sides or just one?

Your Air hacksaw game is strong! ( Just continuing the theme - though I don't know what an air hacksaw is!) :D

Any chance that you'll be bringing it to The National? Would be good to meet you.

Let's see some photos then! :) It's great to see nice new metal replacing all those holes...

With your air hacksaw, do you find it very air hungry? I have to stop quite frequently with mine to let pressure build back up, having said that my compressor is only a fairly small one.
