Hi I am in process of converting my Citroen hy to food wagon . I have converted all brakes to disc brakes and am in the process of putting a 2.0 ford zetec and Audi 5 speed gearbox in to it .I thought some of you would benefit from the work I have done to get this far if I can help anyone out there with the same idea ?

All ears...and eyes. Always up for some hy action. What was the thinking in not sticking with an audi engine attached to the audi box?

Finished body work looks fantastic. These vans rot like a *astard. I used every anti corrosion substance known to man when i restored my van 7 years ago. Utterly useless most of it. Its said that in the early hours of the morning you can "hear" these things rust. ha ha

I bought this van on ebay should really have went to see it but at least I know what I have now .I spoke to hanger 18 when I first got it and followed his thread ,found it very good gave me a lot of ideas .went down ford zebec route with retro ford supplying an inlet manifold and carb only need a spark only ecu which they also supplied so it was all an easy install .Audi gearbox bolted straight on was just looking a few pictures of how you finished your gear linkage if you had any .

I had originally opted for an Audi 80 engine but with it sitting at a tilt it didn't leave enough room for passenger ,so I had a ford 2.0 black top took fuel injection of it bought an inlet manifold and twin choke from retro ford an ecu to give me spark and luckily it bolted on to the Audi 5 speed box . this keeps wiring very simple . |

Parts are in one of the many box's waiting final install.. Will have another look this weekend. Hang on just found this photo taken before chassis install. Got same set up on my silver van and it works great.  |
