Popular Post Jimblob Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've been more of an autoshite lurker than a contributor, but feel compelled to share my latest purchase. I am aware that this model isn't as rare as I thought, at least not on this forum! Trying to get a reasonably quick road legal runner out of this, and then improve over time. Current status is just about running, but needs a new sill on one side at least plus a few other bits welding.

Jimblob Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 is this the same one there was a rubbish fackbook ad for?? I did find mine on FB actually buy I think you're referring to this one. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/631145944403410/Which I was about to buy before I found my Special. He'd said that he would take £300 but then stopped replying to my messages when I tried to make arrangements to get it. It then appeared on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353038535372Hope someone brave will deal with the seller and take it off him!Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Looks brilliant. Are you able to do the welding yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimblob Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Unfortunately no, well I am quite practical but have never welded, or owned a welder. Maybe I should bite the bullet and have a go... ?Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk paulplom and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Woof! Lots of love for Visas on here, as you’ve probably noticed. Many extra points for having two cylinders, satellites and beige with beige. Full of win. Jimblob, rmjbn1 and lesapandre 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Well done, that looks great/awful in equal measures, in a complimentary way. rmjbn1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I think the Visa is probably the most Autoshite of Citroens, fighting perhaps with the LNA, so I welcome this. Especially in this colour. LightBulbFun, DarrenKC53 and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Oh and this has just been posted in Citroen Car Club on Facebook.

If you're not too bothered about a professional finish, you can save a fortune of MoT standard stuff. Maybe you'll find you're really good at it. Unlike me.

Visas are no longer common and the non-Pugnose twinpot is is as rare as hen's teeth. Fortunately AS folk seem to be mopping up all the Visas that are becoming available, which is really good news for their survival! I'm really glad you managed to find this one. I know you have been after one for years! The seats seem to be in good order, which is unusual. Stick covers over them quickly, before the sun disintegrates the cloth!

I've ordered some seat covers online that are similarish and vinyl, but ultimately I'd love to replace with original NOS if possible, I love the brown covers with the beige paint, the period charm is just spot on in my opinion.Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimblob Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 The car above is now on the road! Taxed and MOTd for first time in 20yrs. Just a tad over two months, including a few weeks with the welder. It needed a brake overhaul, rear exhaust box, tyres, sills and a few other bits. It still looks a bit rough and the seats are a bit shot but I'll take my time to get that sorted. It's great to drive, you have to rag it just to go at normal speeds but that's kind of fun.
