Hello all from a Citroën Acadiane driver
Posted: 13 Feb 2014, 19:19
Just joined the forum, so thought that it would be polite to say hello before posting any questions.
Currently have a 1982 Citroën Acadiane van, pulled out of someone's barn after 2 years and then driven 40 miles home.
Am in the process of finishing the necessary repairs. Has been repainted. Did lots of welding (with an arc welder - how i wished that i had a mig) and fortunately the electrics and everything else, except the seats, are fine.
Will post some photos in the near future. Any tips on how to post them would be appreciated. Do they have to be posted on another site first, like photobucket? It's probably not rocket science.
This is my third Citroën. First was a BX19 diesel. The worst car I have owned in my entire life. And I've had about 80. Horrible. Second was a 1987 2CV6. I do miss it sometimes. Don't think that it has moved from the garage of the people who bought it 5 years ago, so maybe i can recuperate it one day.
Am happy to chat about anything made before 1975. Ideal car would be a DS23 Pallas in black. Or an SM maybe.
That's it for now. Please feel free to have a look at my questions when I post them - how to fit the front bumper (yes, I know it was me who removed it and forgot to make notes) and "where do these bits go?" i.e. I've put the vehicle back together but have some bits left over. Not the usual spare bolts.
