Always nice to see the fun people have working on there Matra's.
These are nice cars to have for hobby.
Litlle rust and in most cases easy to work on.
Also cats like it sleeping in the seats and running around you when you busy.
They watch if you use original parts.
And if it's something else he let me know.
What i this sniff sniff

This is not Matra you fool.
Kill it.

Keep up the good work.

I have another one that is about the same.
9 kilo lazy cat

Well "Matra Cat GB" it looks like you have hijacked this post!

9kg "Lazy Cat" doesn't look much good for working on Matra's I'm afraid.

Now this one should be pretty useful for swapping engines and changing wheels if you lost the jack though !!!

P.S. It's not mine which is a shame.

not too bad maybe a 7 out of 10. May need the professionals at a later date!. Now.... what to do with the 80's speaker hole! Spose I'll have to get some new ones!

Speaker there, are cut off in high, because your leg is in the way.
Best is to mount nice pair of Pioneer and put some tweeters somewhere.

Wee tip for covering things in vinyl. Stick it in the tumble dryer to get it nice and warm. Makes it easier to get nice neat corners.
