New Heller Citroen 2CV, started today. Decision, car, pick-up, flat bed or camper? AH, remember only twin cylinder air cooled motor, so nothing too heavy!   So far I've had two suggestions, one a camper and the other a pickup style food wagon! |

Yes DeeCee. As I mentioned somewhere else, Two bodies were in the kit when I opened the box, one inside the other!

Update: I couldn't think of anyway to construct a camper shell other than on the base vehicle.  The high-tech template for the camper sides! I have yet to work out how to do the cut-outs for the windows!  |

That's a very cool idea Pat. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this.

Cheers sharp. Yes I'm looking at various ways to ct both square and round holes. I opened a new pack of Gillette G2 razors the other day, inside was a square clear plastic tray, just right for windows!

Great work Pat. When I saw the box art, I couldn't see myself being interested in this build but this camper idea is very cool, it looks great!

Nearly, nearly, I thought of woodying it but with the 600cc engine it would never move! It looks grubby so I will have to come up with something! It will have an 'L' shape edging trim around most of it, and superimpose a rear door as well.  |

On the chassis! Difficult to spray paint so may have to brush paint camo!  |

All done, I had to put a truck rear view mirror to be able to see behind when on the road. Although I sometimes think that perhaps fitting some sort of stabilizer to stop it falling over on corners!  |
