The Rust Eater pages...

Pictures from a not yet
finnished restauration work on a Citroen CX.

This page contain some pictures of my car. It is a Citroen CX 2000, born 1978.
The summer 1999 I started to restore this car, because it sufered from som much rust that it could not pass the EØS control. Today I can understand that... ;)
The whole car suffered from massive rust attacks; even the subframe was badly teared after years of water and salt in the streets of Oslo...
