...with a difference. I know it's a Citroen Traction Avant/Light 15 of some kind. No bonnet vents, so I think it's a four cylinder. Just wondering about the wheels and lows, hoping someone knows that it's an awesome drive train conversion rather than just a wheel swap.     I saw it in a Red Bull skate video and noticed the unusual wheels. The car has 5 stud wheels as standard so I suppose it could be as simple as a wheel swap but I'm hopeful it's more than that... |

is it in Thailand or Vietnam? I remember reading (Owner's club mag maybe? would have been about 15 years ago!) about a Traction that had received some kind of Mitsubishi-based drivetrain swap there - the wheels look familiar.
you can update the running gear with early DS parts but that's getting expensive now. If you want it low, you just wind all the torsion bars down :-D

definitely a four-cylinder Normale by the way, on the sixes there's a much longer bonnet and the grill sits much further forward in relation to the front wheels

They look like De Lorean wheels.

is it in Thailand or Vietnam? Nah, Brazil. Good knowledge on the lowering technique, I bet that would make you popular at a historic Citroen event. They look like De Lorean wheels. I thought that too but these ones have a riser on the hub. The Delorean ones are only four stud, too. Wouldn't it have been awesome if the Citroen and Delorean had the same PCD? It's only a matter of time before someone on here posts the exact make and model of the wheels and then someone else posts a pic of them on a slammed Imp or something. |

Lincoln Town Car wheels without the centrecap.  I remember someone saying DeLoreans are 4x100. |

Couldn't be a fiberglass replica body on a Americano chassis?
The TA had several different bolt patterns, but my Google-Fu is letting me down. I cannot find the PCD.
