In order to use the engine (106,000 kms) and to get some spare parts I've cut down this slovenian-made parts car through the summer of 1999. If I had known then, I'd probably haven't tried this kind of job. It has taken me a lot more time than I planned when I started to work. The GS car is engineered in such way, that many parts are barely reachable. Only Frenchmen can think of such an unpractical car. But I'm still a Citroën fan. Here you'll find some photos in process of cutting the car.

Citroën GS 1.3 beyond repair in my backyard. The engine has passed 106,000 km. I've lifted the car off the ground - and securely fitted it on axle stands.

The interior - in good condition - before and after...

The engine before removal...

The top has been chopped off...

The weak point! Rust under the rear seat and above the rear wheels. One heavy cut more to go. The photo was taken on 11th of August, 1999 - between the eclipse of the sun.
