No bullshitting around like car shows from US! No drama, no false deadlines ! This show is great !
I agree. I don't watch those any more. And there were only two that I watched.
You've not noticed all the continuity problems like gee he's changed his shirt under his overalls "mid job" etc. I agree though US car shows are made for a trash market.
@@ingmarm8858 there are shows that pretty decent, but I lost interest after a while. And the rest is just overblown and too fake.
to be fair the US shows don't work on old shitboxes like this Citroen. No one copies the French and the French copy no one.
European shows about cars tend to come across as much more informative and less like a lot of overblown nonsense.
Please, please, to everybody leaving negative comments about this show...dont watch it, dont comment, crawl back under yr stone. These guys are pure gold...period.
Proper job
@@LuckyTrucker1 👍
Ironically, they help the programme. It doesn't matter if they don't like it, their comments and views boost the video in the youtube algorithm.
@@Scrubworks Ah, I didn't think of that, good point
Yes. It is entertaining in a world we're most car shows are few and far between. I hope they get a Forth and more seasons.
This is my absolutely my favourite car show. Forget Car SOS or Wheeler Dealers (although I've met Mike Brewer a few times and he's a really, really nice guy) it's just a straight-forward show. I have two Morris Minors and and an Allegro, and I love watching this.
Thanks for posting these episode for those that live overseas and can't afford pay TV...
So happy to have found you guys again. loved this one. do hope there will be another series. Two down to earth guys having fun and doing sensible rebuilds.
I once drove an early 80s 2 CV exact same colour but with matching roof from Aldershot uk to Kiel in Germany via Hook of Holland. An epically slow adventure. Fantastic little cars.
Everyone love an Citroën 2CV and they people smile with joy and happiness.
Modern cars are boring and soulless while a Citroën 2CV is a headturner.
still rather my 2017 a3 lol
Soulless tom say the leat. My girlfriend has a 2019 Nissan Altima limited. Her daughter a 2020 Honda Accord fancy car both same color. Side view from 50ft I can't tell the difference. I hit the fob one that blinks, toots is one I'm driving.😂
@@user-bu8bc6kg4f poor examples of modern cars.
@@longbar2344 who said they were? What's you example muscle cars?
@@longbar2344 didn't see your above reply an A3 no resale value
Absolutely love this series and am so glad we get to see more cars being turned around you guys are a breath of fresh air
Look forward to these being uploaded 👌👌👌
AGREE!
Never really understood the taking photos and listing before any work had been done but apart from that I quite enjoy this little series.
Increases the time that the car is advertised and shortens the time between paying out, and receiving income. The description will state restoration underway, and update photos can be added as work progresses.
The initial shots tend to be close ups of things that are already OK and won't be changing.
At the Paris motor show 1956 the 2CV was described as " a car with everything except speed, comfort, and looks '. They do make very nice flower pots though !
Don't be fooled how it looks it properly handles fast down any country lane even with its 2p tyres
With no comfort?
🧐😄
@@kuntakinte4333 Nobody buys a small car for comfort if they want comfort they get a big clumsy car that's hard to park and expensive on gas also tax
@@MENQN Tanks on the streets...😑
Rolling penis-enlargements 😁
I had a 2cv with the Visa 34hp engine. .
Ok... these 5 HP were bloddy necessary... otherwise i had to do a diet 😉
@@MENQN A couple of years ago a study was done on the daily habits and vicissitudes of 2CV drivers. It was established that many 2CV drivers lived in tents mostly in Wales : they ate brown rice , often had ginger beards and frequently read poetry . Seamus Heaney seemed to be a particular favourite.
After this I went down to Wales and spent the evening at the owners club in Abergavent . I have to say those blokes were far more fun and interesting than me flashy BMW pals I usually spend time with .
It made me think I should trade me Beamer for a 2CV and maybe think about smokin some gunja
I think 2cv s should look like this.what a little treasure.
Love the production engineering considerations you can see through the design outcomes. I can clearly imagine discussions around drawing boards as they sought to meet the brief.
A couple of years ago I was with our Australian four wheel drive mates driving up one of the toughest tracks in the Victorian High Country "Billy Goats Track" & when we got to the top at the Pinnicles there were Surprise - 5 or 6 2CV's including a van!
There is another easier way there but it's still no picnic.
One of the best things about this channel is that you both do the actual work and I do mean both.
Sharon’s not just standing around looking good
I’m just jealous and don’t have a project like yours and a willing partner 😀
Will you are an ace welder and metal worker well done sir best regards Andy Allen😍
Super show Can’t wait to see more
Well done!
"Get these designated as a motorcycle (to get around the regs) and put it back in production!!!
Long live the 2CV!
This is great. Love ya lads!
Love watching Gus and Will. I've always found French automotive design engineers to be non-conformist and innovative. The 2CV is a brilliant design for its time. Made for self-maintenance and ruggedness, based on minimal use of materials. Lightweight with a small economical engine. Unfortunately the materials technology and rustproofing of the 50's thru 70's were not geared for longevity. So we've lost a lot of these cars. But they are a hell of a fun drive !
This is so down to earth and genuine - loving you guys! Can’t help thinking you’re making life difficult for yourselves, working kneeling on the workshop floor, but I guess it’s replicating what most home tinkerers are faced with!
My first car was a 2CV. It was the only car to manage through the mud into the woods for our picnic weekend. The old Opel Manta and Mercedes 200 got stuck. I pulled them through with my wee 2CV for a great camping weekend. I had to tow them back out as well...
Nice job guys - the last time I was a passenger in a CV was back in 1967 - I loved it then, cheap and cheerful. Keep up the good work.
This was a really good one, that electronic ignition will save a lot of headaches
Très belle réparation mais elle aurait bien mérite une belle peinture mais bravo pour redonner une seconde vie a cette belle voiture encore merci pour tout c c'est véhicules pour leur redonner une seconde vie merci cristian de Paris France encore plus de vidéo de restauration de véhicules automobiles bravo
I have got a 2cv had one for 26 year my one is 39 years old I love it
Great episode again! There was a time you could purchase a good 2CV for far less money, but hey, times are changing. Love the 'dans son jus'- looks on this example.
Excellent quality video, thanks. I love watching Will Welding in new panels & and I loved the electronic ignition
Always wanted one but didn't buy one. Loved your sympathik repairs, just enough to fit the job. 🎉🎉
Great series and fantastic insight on repairing popular vehicles from two down to earth car guys 🏴👍🏻
Wow! They actually did a decent job on this one 😂
39:00 Tells you how clever the system is, then swops it for something modern!😂
My first car was 1980 2CV6 pistachio color when I was 17. I miss it dearly!
I cannot fathom out the attraction to ANY Citroen.
all shite aren't they.
2cv designed to go over a rutted field.
not for everyday driving
... says he, poor unfortunate, who's never owned one! 🙂
@@lefuedebout That’s because i never want one. disgusting tin cans.
It's sad how sh!t your imagination is.
Bags of shite
Another great example of your work. Keep them coming please . Have watched every video
I absolutely love this little car! Its adorable! Wished I was in the UK, never find something in that kind of shape here in the US.
Flipping marvellously entertaining! Keep up the great work boys!
One question, what was actually holding that shell square when you cut away the sill, and the A and C pillars,
"Will" power!!🤣
I learnt to drive in my mum's 2CV when I was 15 (On private roads) great cars
Thank you for a very nice program. Have seen you on television in norway, where I live. Like that you are so laid back. I have a citroen 2cv myself, which I have changed to a galvanized frame and done some rust repairs here and there. The one I have now is my fourth. It will probably be my last, I think.
The Number plate! Has potential too for a personal plate!
Thanks for this mate .... good tv 😊
Wonderful entertainment. Thanks for this
Excellent content guys👏🏽👏🏽
My first car was a 1994 Citröen AX, the 2cv great-grandson!? It had a headgasket-blowing 1.4 diesel engine on it but despite that, I travel all over Europe and it was a blast. Unfortunately the block eventually fatally cracked and I had to let it go. It was originally my mother's who got it after struggling with rough country roads on her beloved Mini. She loved the Mini but her back didn't like it so much. The AX was a breeze of fresh air, flying over potholes like they were nothing. I miss it terribly. It was cheap to run (4l/100km) and easy to maintain... apart from the problematic overheating issues due to the badly designed head gasket interface.
The 2CV might be a cleverly designed little car, but it looks like it’s made of Kit Kat wrappers and Smarties lids 😂
what a great video really enjoyed it
I've got a renault 5 Monaco 🇲🇨 for sale I'm in Newcastle-upon-Tyne it's motd leather great car for your show
Yyy
You in the Washington restoration club ,not many about
Ignore the yyy bloody keyboard stuck
My favourite car in the show👍
This one, showed of their skill set in a much better light.
Great video...keep them coming !
Love this car !
My favourite car!!!!
My grandfather called them puddle jumpers
Hi great channel very interesting, i will keep watching for sure, thank you
lovin it
35:05 A DS19 ! Wow!
Honest... like it
First time here subscribed and liked 👍.
Shame you didn't show any details or info about that 2cv parts specialist😢 .
I wonder could you please supply any info to contact that 2cv parts specialist🤔 Thanks in advance and kind regards 😊
Searching "the 2cv shop" will get you there - other UK Citroen specialists are also available 😀
Just saw one of these on the streets (ready?) of Buenos Aires, Argentina a few weeks ago.
when you re-rubber the seats put thick cardboard from large cardboard boxes over the rubbers before adding the foam and then the covers, it gives the seats more support, I restored a 2cv6 about ten years ago and had to sell it on eventually , wish I never did now. if you rock the car and it makes a mooing sound the suspension cans want lubricating as the paper disks inside dry out pump some castor oil into the cans and the noise will stop. its a common fix amongst 2cv owners. The engine is designed for 15w 40 oil. The hardest job is replacing the fuel tank sender unit if you have to its a fuel tank out job, check behind the rear wings for rust on the inner wing panels as they rust here badly to. god help the person that needs to replace the windscreen scuttle panel its a job and a half when it starts to leak in the rain and dont have any hopes of more than 50mph with the roof down or youll lose it. Ten years ago I paid £300 just for the seat rubbers or donuts as you call them they were a pound each at the time cheapest available in the UK.
Omg will got to drive 😂😂😂
Got to be simplest car design ever ,easiest to maintain, i love it.if it goes wrong u can probably fix it
Cruising along the road in my 2CV, with my arm out the flap window, a lorry zoomed past me in the other direction. The compressed air between us blew my (closed) roof right off....
A 1989? Looks more like a 1969. The looks didn't change much since the 1955. Great fun watching these two.
Its like watching the chuckle brothers
good job wolverine greg wallace
Have a wild guess the status of this car. That's right, you won't believe it, but somehow, as of Jan-24, it's still on the road 😮
Most of wd series 1 cars are dead so Will and gus did better
@@anthonymillar6183 Almost all of this series are dead too
That surprises me as I've checked the MOT history of it. It's had a lot of issues going right back to 2006. It was not a well-loved car. Good to see it revived again though.
I think the next lucky vehicle should be a Trabant.
Had the joyous experience of driving a new one uphill (on my own) with an artic up my chuff - absolutely gutless and, in my opinion , dangerous. Would even rather drive a Lada with its rudder steering than risk my life in one of these.
A car from the UK cannot be so rustproof as one from California.
One of the best and fun cars i have ever owned £90 LHD 425cc it had 25000 i did another 40000 only did sparks, alternator, fan belt that snapped continued using me girlfriends tights points and breaks front and rear drums on both oh and shocks, only grunting expense was the 52mm socket for the rear drums, last but not least the drivers window clip which being a left hooker was half the price, passenger side over in uk. Would love another but just can’t aford that sort of money, it would never go down now but i did a window cleaning job once in a while for a friend who had angina, a 10ft ladder strapped vertically through the open roof onto that cross bar and seat leg frame, that was freedom.
So when are you guy’s getting a car lift?
You can still get new chassis parts from the original press including aluminium
What I hate is the corner cutting. Checking the discs and pads… just change the damn pads. It’s like £10!
can't knock a 2CV, I've had one for as long as I can remember and have had no issues whatsoever, this proves that you dont need fancy cars for reliability!
People put BMW 1100 boxer engines in these. Quite an easy swap too by accounts.

used the same discovery going round the bend clip as in the mg clip i think
Did it not come with its winter moustache? Blocks the vent for winter driving
End of day one ,I thought it had to be day 3 you did so much work on day 1 much more than usual and no tea breaks noted either. I think these little cars suit you guys better you do so much more on them in a shorter time. Or maybe its because it's so small. Honestly I think these cars came with rusted out pans from new.
check out the brown coloured capri next door..... WOW
Why on earth would any engineer put the points in such a labor intensive location? I'm glad you kept the survivor patina.
Its french. They Always do stuff Nobody Else does.😅
@@ottovonbismarck3732 That's true. I remember an old Renault I saw once. Terrible little car.
Using a wood chisel to cut out floor sections, as a retiredd joiner appalling abuse of tools😊
He probably used a cold chisel to build his kitchen cabinets and is wondering why the doors don't quite fit .
I want this car
Modern synthetic...wait for all the seals start leaking.
Synthetics seem to have aggressive detergents, no wonder the engines stay so clean.
@@flybobbie1449 But for these old engines its the worst choice ever.. semi-syn is better

Real good fortune the guys have tens of thousands of pounds worth of garage equipment in their cheap as chips garage...
Did you buy it off the guy from the fast show?
Does all of wills cars have a lot of play in the streering. ?
I lov these guys,,I just don't understand how they can pay there rent and share the profits Between the both of them and survive as a business long term
The chassis needs to be replaced every few years. With a galvanised one it's holding some years longer...
6 cans of spray vaseline (PRESTO) underneath does it. It has stayed rust-free. Since 5 years. BUT my car is BEFORE 1968 (a Dyane 1967 - luxury 2CV) an thus have a much better steel quality. The 1970's were the worst for ANY car concerning the steel...
Don't why these and other old bangers command such high prices, mugs everywhere.
They didn't do a lot on day 2 did they!?
Tricky from scrapheap challenge
Make sure that you've got the right brake fluid for your model, use the wrong one and they will rapidly fail.
Hidden episode or new?
Gus-you shld wear a mask when pulling brake drums off!!
Your breathing far worse from what's coming out the back everyday .should we all just wear masks 24/7

The weirdest interaction during a deal I've ever seen, no hands shaken at the beginning or at the end...
to correct the presenetr calling the 2cv slow, they aren't!
