Let's get a first look (even I look nice
from a distance you know)
|
This is our girl as she looked like when she
arrived, top removed. I already removed the left/middle roof support. No tools
necessary for the canvas top and sides. Piece of cake ! |
|
On the right side, the support is still there.
If you really want to remove the top fast, you have to leave it there since it's the only
part fixed with (2) screws. |
|
The rear looks perfect (at this distance) |

Ever seen a Méhari engine ? Take a closer
look, the engine seems smaller then the gearbox :-) |
But now...the closer look !
And what about the canvas...
This is the complete top and sides. It's a
complete set and looked pretty good. Except for the upper part of de doors. Notice also the 'accessory' in the middle. It's called a 'cangaroo
bag' and hangs under the top. It is used to carry your upper doors when you want to take
them off. |
|
But what a pitty ! I discovered that only
later, but all the transparent 'windows' have been replaced in a bad way : rivets instead
of stitches. You'll allways see the rivet-holes when I do the repair in the original way.
I'll just have to replace all the sides and upper-doors if I want it perfectly. |

Ever seen a Méhari dashboard ?
Looks good to me. But personaly I prefer the
older type. The younger models like mine are equipped with the Citroen Visa's instrument
panel.
There's even a genuine warning about not
using solvents and stuff to clean the plastic. Look at this :
And maybe you wondered how this strang umbrella-shift-lever
works ? Well, it's all explained on the instrument panel :
