i am thinking abut getting a Simca van the seller do not know if its got a seized engine. do anyone know what engine will fit in it? at the moment it has a 1118cc but it would be nice to fit something a bit bigger any idea what brake parts they use and do they share parts with something else? i have search the net and it seems Talbot has something to do with simca i seem to find little about them on the net. and i have not seen one photo of any that has had Modifications www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/simc.JPG |

na... may as well do it... its one of those cars that was rare for a reason  not because it was expensive or unobtainable... theres a vauxhall/bedford astra van (was in the forsale section??) that should give you some ideas of what can be done to a small van... the look wicked when done right... also some ideas from chevettes/kaddetes might work as it has the same look... maybe some small alloys (widish) with a roll on the arch ... lil bastuck style exhaust and xe (or 205 gti for somthing different ) lump.... could be realy kool.... |
