First post on here. Thought I'd start by sharing this truly horrid Citroen factory-built monster with you. Can anyone identify it? (Clue: made in Argentina.)

Ive just spotted the GS/CX mirrors that mount on the angle of the doors... looking at the picture, there isnt such angle so the mirror sits like its going to fall off. SOme parts of them i like, the full length windscreen, the crazy bumpers they fit on them and the not quite dyane rear end, but i have to say, they could have designed the grille and headlights a bit better |

yeah its only the front end that really puts me off... if they had kept the normal 2cv front end... it would have been fine! |

i wonder if its possible to put a normal 2cv front end on one of them...  shouldnt be too hard... everything that bolts onto the normal 2cv is bolted onto the chassis.... all it needs is proper front wings,bumper brackets and headlight bar, and then thats it...

And a bonnet? Or a hacksaw to make slots for the light bar to poke through at the edge of the IES bonnet...  Edit: Tubular chassis under the IES, so skyhooks might be needed as well. < http://www.citroenet.org.uk/foreign/lat ... inga3.html > Transverse leaf spring?

for some reason these things make me think that they wanted a visa and a 2cv so they put it together and made an abomination. |
