Picked up my Citroen C4 at the weekend...

That's awesome Jaeger guages!

 

nice car,

love these Odd-Rods !

check out the french forum Bielle-chaude,

there are many of these being build

 

I know you don't want to do any major customizing on it but.............
That would look good with an A Model bed on it, cut down the bulk of the rear end and give you some more room to extend the cab a little for better seating.
Cheers,

Doc.

 

It's in far too good, complete original condition, i couldn't bring myself to do it to it, plus the back end will be useful as it is for me. i may look for a bit of a ****ed up one for more of a custom project though in the future

Tonight i got it into the 'work' side of my shop although it is a bit burried in the corner... i'll be tinkering with it after business hours over the next few weeks to have it out on the road come spring

 

With those roll-up sides, I could see it pulling up in front of a bar and a half dozen *****s piling out of the back...

 

I was wondering which engine to use if you don t keep it stock ...
It needs a nice engine .
A Citroen would be the first choice . From a Citroen CX Pallas ( not relative to pale *** ) ..
Or a SM with a little trick if you use a Maserati .
Or a 6 cylinder Traction Avant , if you find one .. ( dream ) .
They are all front wheel drive since 1933 ...
PRV not bad , you could say it s an old De Lorean , but not Citroen ..
So ... I d keep it stock or use a Rover / Buick 215

 

^^^ i love the little Buick/Rover 215s ^^^
I mos. def. gonna use one in one of my future cars.

 

A good engine for a 60's onwards car but i cant think of anything worse to see when i open the hood/bonnet of this Citroen, far too modern! If anything other than standard it will be a French flathead V8...

 

^^^ absolutley, didnt mean it would be good for your car w/ the plans you have.

 

I have the service manual for this car. I made a copy for the mechanics that Jacques Littlefield hired to fix his.

 

That truck is cool! Kinda reminds me of a model "A" deluxe pickup! I like it!

 

The C4 / B14 Citroen are nice cars .
I remember when I was young seeing a B14 Phaeton .
The only pb is where they come from ( France ) , we can t change them legally .

See Peugeot 202 , 402 , 602 ......

 

Nice and I like your plans for it.

 

me too. i'd get it running and drive it as is.....

 

Here's my french girl 1933 peugeot 201 doctors coupe.
I have a french flathead to put in

 

Really nice Coupé ...

 

That is a very nice Coupe, what are your plans for it apart from the flathead?

 

Awesome score, that is a real sweet rig, with some great potential for fun!! Congrats folks, love the truck. Please show us what you do with it, the banger motor is real cool. Thanx for sharing. ~sololobo~

 

putting in a suicide ford axle whit quarter eliptical springs,z notch in the back,channel the body,flathead engine,artillery wheels with whitewall tires,and the rest we will see as we go

 

All sounds pretty good to me, if you start a thread on here with the progress please let me know
