I’ve seen this car, and was considering it as a donor for a temporary motor swap when the owner was looking to part it locally. I saw it with a local shop owner who restores 2CVs, and he also passed on it as he thought it was too much effort for a personal project. Considering the projects I’ve seen him undertake this speaks volumes.
The rust is bad and the paint is poor. The first quote from a resto shop was 400 hours for metal repair/replacement and paint. The paint, while shiny, is a quick job with lots of evidence of shortcuts. I hope it gets saved, but this will be a challenging project for someone.
