| The underside of the front of the chassis. Note the two plates welded on to the box sections. They are not painted! I have made a cut across the bottom plate just infront of the suspension mounts. |  |
| The trusty angle grinder comes into action to cut through the welds holding the repair plates.. |  |
| Under the plates is ... rust! |  |
| Both sides, of course. This is where the water collects as 2CV chassis tilt forward with no load in the back. |  |
| I made another cut across the bottom plate just
behind the cross member that has the hand brake lever mount. I drilled out the spotwelds and removed the section. Plenty of rust here. |
