1928 Citroen ac4 limo. Forgive me for I have sinned.

Found in some bushes on a farm. Had been used for a parts car many years ago and then forgotten about. Rust was a understatement. No paperwork, no axels or running gear except a seized solid gearbox. A real basket case. And I actually had to give a weeks wages to take it away. But there was a plan. 12 weeks after these pictures Were taken there was a memorial meeting for stan woods at stoke speedway/ banger track. All pre 75 cars in the spirit of how banger meeting of the 70’s/ 80’s used to be. If we could get it rebuilt and on track it would be the oldest car ever to be raced in a Full contact Class.

Really nice to have some positive reply’s to this. I know it’s not to a vast majority’s tastes especially on a forum such as retro rides. And I’m fully aware there are a small selection of people on here who have the skills to make it in to a hotrod or such like. To the rest of us mere mortles tho a car in this state would never see the road again.
What follows in the next instalment is a mix match of parts fabricated/bodged together to make this wreck of rust in to a vehicle that firstly wouldn’t kill me and secondly could move under its own power at a fair rate of speed.
Thanks for not sending out a pitch folk wielding mob to hunt me down.

We might do yet if you keep us hanging for more pictures.

Was hoping that you were going to make an EV chitty chitty bang bang style. They can be real lookers when done.

Removing the a55 rear axel and fitting it to the Citroen leaf springs. The springs had to have a few leafs removed as the a55 U bolts wouldn’t fit. Spring perches also cut off and moved inboard 4”. Rear brakes removed and diff welded.

I'm in for the journey.
