It's a weird obsession, I admit. But a few years back I realized I had to have a Citroen DS before I die. And since we never know how long we'll be on this planet, it made more sense to do it sooner rather than later. I spent two years finding this car and it turned into a great road trip with my son Maxx to pick it up in Reno and drive it home to Austin. Of course, it's complete lunacy to drive a 40+ year old French car across two deserts and the Rockies sight unseen, but with only a few minor mishaps, it made it. If you're a Citroen fan, send me your pics and stories. I post em for you.Got rusty rain rails?
Pull off those rear wings and check out the rain rails that run all the way down the trunk. Chances are they’re rusty. My car has very little rust, but these spots were starting to rust through. I broke out all the rust and scrubbed it with a good wirebrush. Then I took some of that rust remover (Naval Jelly or the like) and got it down to bare metal.
Then I got some liquid nails. Mixed up a batch and filled everything in, got it nice and smooth, then spray painted it a shiny black. Looks great and totally seals out water. Simple project and a total no brainer.
