Project Elly 2CV Revival Part 7: The Body Returns!

An exciting stage of my Citroen 2CV project, as I collect the body and reunite it with the chassis. Though I lose the engine during the process...
This is another section of the part-crowndfunded restoration of my 1986 Citroen 2CV6 Dolly. See the Project Elly playlist for more.
A special mention should go to my 1996 Toyota RAV4, which proved more than capable as a tow vehicle.

Restoration of a car built when I was old enough to drink. That makes me feel old.

[@HubNut]

Sorry. I was eight when Elly was built...

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

@@HubNut what year is Elly 85 or 86 that makes me about 2 or 3!!

Watching now i'm hooked into the 2cv fascination, he's off on the Croatia jaunt in this hysteric vehicle. I'm pleased George put his prints on it, pre-ban.

[@lrochfort]

Looking good. Exciting stuff.

[@dlittlester]

Can't wait till you get it back on the road.

[@paulb4uk]

Looks great .

[@paultaylor701]

Just realised watching this, that the former Mrs Hubnut probably wants her garage back!

[@twocvbloke]

Taking things apart is far easier than putting them back together again, it's one of those life laws... :P Still, just a few nuts, bolts & screws here and there and it'll be back on the road... :D

[@HubNut]

Well, once I get the engine back anyway!

[@twocvbloke]

HubNut Could always use the roof as a sail... :P

[@69Phuket]

Think i've been past that 2CV place...It's off the main road on a hilly part of Bradford.. You can't miss it!

[@HubNut]

This is a different place, more tucked away.

I feel terrible that I wasn't a subscriber of this channel when all this restoration was going on. I would have liked to contribute to the restoration costs of this beautiful car. Seems like i'm never in the right place at the right time. :-(

[@HubNut]

Don't worry. There's always something looming on the horizon!

[@danielcroft7653]

Just catching up on these earlier videos. Was that the first Ptchooo!?!?

[@HubNut]

I think one of my Rover 600 videos was the first ptchoo.

[@jaggass]

That poly urethane should protect the 2CV body from rusting again.

[@HubNut]

Hope so!

[@mKGrizz]

any idea on where the vin # is?

[@HubNut]

On a plate attached to the bulkhead - possibly not attached in this video.

[@DAZ28111]

Sorry, my friend that garage is a fire hazard to happen

[@mazdarx7887]

You guys across the pond don't oil your cars at all, cheapest, easiest wat to prevent rust
