I figgered as much...  

ANY car as cool and nifty and as obscure as a 2CV is gonna be in demand
sufficiently enough to raise its price out of my range (which is easy since
I'm not a wealthy guy) although perhaps a project might come along
sometime... so I keep an eye out.    


A German buddy and I did some door handle scraping around corners in an old
2CV in Schweinfurt, great fun, easy to drive (once you got it started),
gotta love that gear shift.

Same here.   This is a good bunch of people.

Hey...  no big favor, I was glad to do it, hoped you would make something
of it and glad to see it worked out nicely to boot!   And I wanna get a
look at it when you finish it up... ;)
