Gaetan show how he made his 4 cyl 2cv. He just put the 2cv body on the Ami Super frame with some adaptations of course. By the way, JoZeF has a complete ami super frame + 1300cc + 5 speed gearbox for sell About make it legal in Belgium I don't know. I can just say than in France it's totally forbidden but there is many 4 cyl 2CV...

You just have to find some A series pre '68 paperwork. (Ami 6, AZU, 2cv ... doesn't matter) These cars dont have a constructors certificat (gelijkvormigheidsattest). Pre '68 cars can have their body and engine modified, top chop and V6 engine wouldn't be a problem for example. No one can proof that your car has been modified because it doesn't have a certificat yet, that's the beauty. And I guess you don't even have to use a Super chassis, just take an ordinary chassis and modify that. Modify the front part to have the engine fitted and make it stronger. I've already seen some 2cv's with the engine moved a bit to the back so it fits under the hood.

It is possibel to set the engine a bit back but than it does not stand horizontal I think and I geus that is not very good for the oil. Papers of a pre 68 is not a problem I think. But I thaught it was pre 63 not ? greats robin Back to top JoZeF Grave Digger Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 1734 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:07 am    Post subject: If ever you're interested I have a Super Chassis that has been completely restored... I guess you're a bit far, but if you're interested don't hesitate Bye _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.

Well!!l that belgium law sounds even wilder as everything I have heard and seen about registration in the UK... but sounds great when you'd like to modify!!

'68 is correct, maybe it's '63 on another planet. Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 8:09 pm    Post subject: Robin is right. If you put the engine back for 7 or 14 cm (depends of the gearbox belhousing); the engine will be on the front axle. And it means, the back will be higher than the front. Depends how you feel it, I know some guys using this technic.
