It's taken a bit longer than I originally thought, but at last an update.
I have now started stripping the car down to see what the total extent of the rust damage is.
Along with what I had already discovered, there is bad corrosion at the rear particularly where the seat belt anchorages are. Interestingly, the bump stop mounting are in good condition with no rot around them. Although the seat belt mountings are bad, I have decided not to replace the complete inner wings, but will fabricate repair panels and weld them in. Also, although I have bought complete 'B-Posts' I will probably only use the bottom sections of them because of the possible difficulties of removing the original door lock and upper seat belt mounts and getting them in the correct position.
You will see from the photos below the extent of the problems!!

Our 2cv is starting to look a little sad and is in need of some TLC.
Over this winter, I propose to replace the sills, floors, A posts and front lower bulkhead as the rust has unfortunately taken it's toll. As the car has already been fitted with a galvanised chassis, I feel it is worthwhile bringing the rest of the bodywork up to scratch. All the panels that I can see need replacing have been purchased, either from ECAS in the UK or Cassis in France. I already have a reasonably equipped workshop which includes a MIG welder. Ideally, it would be nice to have a spot welder as well, but for the project I can't really justify the cost.
During the project I will include photos and costs as it progresses.
No photos at this stage, but hopefully in the next week or two.
Costs so far:
This book is an absolute must if you are thinking of doing any restoration work on a 2CV. The photos are brilliant and have given me a great insight in what needs to be done and how to do it.
