They'd be suitable for sure.

Let me know what I'd owe you for your troubles if we can make it work, and where I'd need to go to get them from you.

A good pair of inner wings would be superb.

A not shagged pair of front seats would be lovely too.

Re: I hope it's safe to post this in here, Ami 8/2cv parts interchangibility

Anyway as some will have seen on the other forum I've been at this evening's and weekends, and Drew is shopping for the bits I might need. So far there's what appears to be a flywheel oil seal leak that needs doing, the brakes which I knew about and discs and pads were supplied with the car, there's...

This one appears to have been assembled with whatever was laying around on the floor :mrgreen:

Jobs tend to happen quicker when you're not having to keep changing between 7, 9 and 11mm sockets on the same panel :lol:

Still, old cars right?

Re: What did you do today?

Had a bit of time this evening so took the front end of my brothers Ami 8 off so I can make it all fit together properly.

Re: What did you do today?

Drove Dads c5 for three hours to pay £40 for a pair of rear wings and collect the front wings for his Ami 8 (already paid for courtesy of the previous owner) and then drove it back.

Bought the oil and filters for my mk5 GTi

He's my little brother and he's been an absolute rock over the years and quietly carried a lot more than he really should have had...
