Putting the brakes on things.....

well, fitting the brakes on the van. That's what I've been up to today, but to do that on a 2CV, first you have to fit the gearbox as they have inboard front brakes.
Consequently, it's been a fairly prosperous day for the little van (AKA Claude). The shell is bolted down, the gearbox is in along with master cylinder, all new brake pipes and a shorter steering column and slightly less bus-like steering wheel to help in the Alps!
Tomorrow should see an engine slotted in, fingers crossed!
