Superb workmanship, a better than new 2CV! They are excellent little cars, a hoot to drive and some very clever engineering.

Hi Danny, I stone chipped the under side with.. well.. erm.. stonechip http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3f119288c3

Gravitex is very good and very easy to apply. But as Peter has warned me it does not like going over fresh paint as you may get a reaction which we did in several places.

Interesting that most people who like minis, dislike 2CV's.. They're both legendary designs using different yet unique and ingenious mechanics. They are indeed brilliant fun to drive, I don't know what I would choose if I had to pick a mini or a 2CV, they're both brilliant and rubbish in their own ways

Yep, I'd only put it over lightly applied etch primer or old paint really.

[mini danny]

thanks ya it's going on etch primer is it ok to paint onto the stonechip

Yes its fine. Do make sure though the stonechip has fully hardened. I did all of Project Erms stonechip in primer and topcoat.

[mini danny]

cheers buddy Ya I'll be stone chipping it soon and then won't be painted for at least 4-5 weeks if not more

The 2CV inspired Issigonis in more ways than one too :) In the early 60's a lot of people were wandering how Citroen where so far ahead of the competition in terms of suspension, ride comfort and design

Love what you've done Peter - it's brilliant
