hi im new here! just sort of crossed over from the ford scene
i worked for ford motor co for 6 years as a mechanic, now moved over to citroen

this is a little project i'v just started on

bought it as a cheap run around from work as was trying to run 250bhp escort turbo!

then decided to have some fun

so here it starts!

when i fist got it for £100 from work

so it got lowered! on black 205gti wheels

then some french plates on

and for some stickerage!

right as i need bigger wheels, i had sone 16" mondeo 1's off when i had my rs turbo

so give them a paint and with 10mm spacers

new wheelage

and put then on the van

kind of look hi now though

then

dont mind me finger

still want it lower

and its getting an engine transplant aswell

all comment welcome

I like the Compomotives. Shame to waste them on a Berlingo though...

Any idea what engine you're gonna shove in? Mi16, 3.0 V6 or something non-PSA?

dont think there a waste!
its just some fun and something different!
2.0l 8v turbo from 406 sri
running 250bhp

or 3l v6

You don't know just how jealous I am to see your workshop - nice and bright and airy too (though those tiles don't look like they offer much grip).

Congrats on passing the test - glad to see someone's being properly trained! Good pics as well.

cheers bud

the tiles arent to bad when you have ya rigger boots on!

tainers on the other hand its like ice if there is some oil or water on the floor, but its clean 90% of the time so no worrys

well.......... the van lost all of its coolant 2days ago, on a very bussy road! felt like a right knob!

it was the little water housing on the rear of the block, its was cracked and had a hole the size of a 5p init!

so changed that this morning (was a propper (-expletive removed-))
and notice there was a oil leak so fixed that

and blacked out the rear windows, so the nebby (-expletive removed-) cant peak in!

also noticed the windscrean is cracked ::)

not putting the bucket in anymore, going with the escort gti half leather!

going to stipe some of the interior out 2moro to clean n stuff, might have a go at fitting the seats
