Citroën AZU | Fixing The Rust Without Loosing The Rusty Look.... 

Seppo, it is important to make videos like this, people who have never done welding or plate patching before can learn from this. I know your videos are "For entertainment only", but it is useful to see how other people do things. Good work on the AZU.

Keeping the patina whilst reintroducing the strength will be a real challenge. The step you create to create an overlap is called a joggle in English 😊. Nice work, good luck with the restoration

Nice work. I think it will look good when finished but I’m enjoying watching your progress step-by-step, and I’m learning from you. You do the video your way, and we’ll follow along.

I am really enjoying watching you patiently and skillfully work on this quirky old car. Thank you for sharing your progress in such detail. Fine editing and camera work too, including the on screen corrections, which make me smile. I would certainly like to watch more videos on body repairs please. Best wishes from Wellington, New Zealand, where rain is pouring down

So, so important these iconic vehicles are saved 👍 Top work Squire!

Wow, Seppo, I know this is a relatively simple geometry, but your repairs really look great! And you managed to keep the repairs hidden quite well. I understand the idea of what you and bilklubben are trying to achieve, but in 10 years time, these repairs will simply have become part of the patina and history of the car! I am super excited that collaborations like this are possible in our small country, and I think this is one of the best things to happen in the Danish car community for a long time! When welding thin, flat plates like this, I really strongly recommend using welding paste to dissipate the heat much faster, to avoid buckling the thin panels. I really think videos like these are great, I love watching the cutting, fabricating and preparing to weld :)

No video of any A series Citroen is boring Seppo, great work.

Hi Seppo, called making a 'Joggle' in the metal , or 'Joggling' with Joggling Tool which you have. Many thanks from UK.

Great video and good balance between actual work and off camera work👍

Probably the only time a 2CV of any kind will be seen doing a wheelie... :P

It's interesting to see how you go about the process of repairing these cars. The van is very floppy. Amazing it's lasted so long without just folding up!

When you come to the A and B pillars you'll probably find that they are braze solderd or brass welded - I'm not completely sure if that's the correct terminology, but they aren't welded the ordinary steel weld style. At least my -59 was made that way. Probably Citroën anticipated problems with structural integrity using very thin steel and decided to minimise the risk of breakage due to body flexing. Like your way of restoring and keeping the original parts. 👍😉

I love watching these videos, more please!

Nothing you post is ever 'tedious to watch' Seppo... another great installment.. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I love seeing this kind detail. It really shows what's possible. By the way, that recess is called a joggle I believe.

It's more like Rustside Garage!

Such clever work and skills here. I applaud the extra work you are doing so as to save so much of the original car and its patina.

Love these videos to see how the welding is done, it's really something I want to learn to do some day

You are being so careful, great work.

Another great video. I do enjoy watching you fabricating such a fantastic looking van. Well done.

Welding videos are good for me Seppo. Nice idea to keep the patina.

Seppo the fighter jet was looking for YOU !!!! for crimes against Citroen Van Welding 😂 and various other tortuous repairs against Carmanity , your No1 most WANTED IN EUROPE 😂👌🏻.

Good video. Interesting to see how you have to make panels to try and keep the patina of the car. Keep them coming.

The ledge - I have always known them as "Joggles" - made by a Joggling tool or "Joggler"

Nice work! If you feel too share the process with us? I will follow your work. It's inspiring you now.

really enjoy these videos, i know the content might seem tedious but its the repair process and the way you explain that i really enjoy. please post some more even if its just updates between other projects

I really enjoy these rust repair videos, you have a great balance between on camera to show us what you are doing but then we don’t need to see it all and I am sure it’s quicker for you as well.

I think the word you were looking for is flange rather than ledge? I see you're experiencing mission creep again with the rot!

Well done

Cut the old sill out, weld a new one in and re-use the old sill outer shell and hey presto! the old look is back and the sill (weak point on 2CVs) is stronger than new, do the same on the righthand side

A car is original once good stuff

I enjoy these videos

Patchwork, but if it works why not?

That wooden support, is it safe? 😂😂😁😁 I watch all of your videos, as you know! But did not comment on the bike. What is the range on the bike?

Lovely job Seppo, love the videos. Have you come across 'non-woven preparation discs' for the angle grinder? They're an abrasive nylon sponge material and they remove rust and paint ready for welding or painting without removing any good metal.

We will tell you when it gets tedious...
