That's as close to perfect as an Ebay add gets IMO, guy did a nice job of writing it. Only demerit is the lack of engine /undercar pics...

With rear wheel drive, I'd want to switch to some derivative of our engines!!!

Hmmmmm...... 2 door Omni with factory rear wheel drive could it get any better?

Be even better with turbo power!!!

It will go for more than that for sure, they actually have some pedigree...

I think I'm going to take the mirror off the bedroom ceiling and replace it with a widescreen with that clip on loop
I'm in love

Easy Garffus, I know it's not an Omni...:)

Rootes Group, Simca, Barreirros, Saab-Valmet, Dodge, Chrysler and Plymouth all cousins. Now throw in Volkswagen and Peugeot.. It's enough to make my head spin!

I wonder sometimes how many of the parts were compatible between all brands..

:D sorry

Its one messy scenario when you look into it isn't it! Peugeot is simple though.. they came along at the end and took on everything Chrysler left behind...


...and when you say about parts interchangability, well when i had coilover suspension made for my G body, the engineers used peugeot top hats and citroen style lower legs to fit in with everything... Im having them made again soon;)

Now, that's what I'm talking about!!!

Sounds like you got the interchange under control. Now, just tell the rest of us which Peugeot and Citroen models your working with, so we can think of a way to assemble some L-Body Konis or some type of direct fit coilovers!!! :thumb:

Im working on it mate... look here. (http://boostedmopar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12720)
I haven't had much time to get them finished lately because my situation keeps changing and ive moved twice and changed job twice since since the last time i did anything on these, however, I had a set spec'd and made for a friends mr2 turbo last month and they were even cheaper than previously so fingers crossed this will come together at a very reasonable price :evil:
