Oh man ..... if only you could find a turbo motor for this thing. It absolutely transforms them. It sounds like you have made midly lumpy screamer.... which will be a huge amount of fun.... I wonder if it'll feel lively like a GS to drive with a revvy motor The turbo'd motors are all lazyness, torque .... and acceleration that is nothing like "big citroens" can usually doMotor came up well, warmed it up a bit with a mild cam grind and a new Weber carby that is bigger in the second barrel. Also got a relocation conversion for the oil filter, that will be up front.
It will help, but wont be like my other car, the coupe goes pretty well, partly because of the balancing, cam and the fact that there is an electric water pump and fans amd mostly because of the loss of two doors.Oh man ..... if only you could find a turbo motor for this thing.

Looks wonderful. What a huge job. Alfa wheels?
Absolutely spectacular

The person did a good job at a great price, going to make custom door trims and interior trim work at the back too.View attachment 138261

One guy here in WA modified his doors a bit and fitted Series II trims - worked well I thought. There's a set of fibreglass moulds out there of course, outers only if I recall.How did he sort out the door trims This is something we all need to know
Hi Shane and JohnHow did he sort out the door trims This is something we all need to know
Correct, I was thinking of Greg's.
It occurred to me you might copy his bonnet modification! I don't know whether it improves ventilation or not but you might know?
It's really all about getting air OUT as a rule I guess. Same with radiators - you don't need huge openings in front but a nice low pressure area behind. I reckon the Vanwall showed that to perfection. Greg's elaborate bonnet takes cool air from further forward of the engine though, avoiding the pre-heater box and in a slightly higher air pressure zone!Scoops on the bonnet make no difference at all. I realised years ago what they are good for when i saw a CX parked in the snow in a picture ..... .
Those series II door trims look really nice with those trimmed inserts. Its probably the best fix.
I did like Shane and put sound deadener on the floor, also blocked the air to the rear to keep more air for the A/C in front. Will insulate the rear sides of the back too. I guess every little bit helps.
