citroen C2 v12 4wd
Discussion
This is a fascinating project, and I'm very interested to see the finished product when it is completed.
I hope that the OP doesn't take this as a critisism of the whole car, however I'd be interested to know whether there is more than one person working on the project .... I ask because elements like the cage / spaceframe around the rear appear in the pictures to be a completely different level of quality and skill to the holes hacked into the rear bumper, and the mountings for the gear selector (as examples).

Is that floor brushpainted!???? Or just looks patchy because of the residue underneath! !
Small roller lol. Needs a couple more coats yet tho.
I am loving the fuel tank cap! Have you got a useless jerry can now!??
Yes needs must tho. Scrap mans already got the topless jerry can lol.
This is such a great project and with such a story behind it too. Applaud you, fella!

Hi Gary,
Sorry to of taken so long to reply to your messages...I've been busy playing with the parked cars etc.
I had noticed your project last year, when you had a unlucky accident with your first twin v6, a lot more worry on my shoulders when I thought how easily it could happen to me while I was working in cramped condition in my home garage, but as well as an eye opener as I wouldn’t spend another 5 years building another, which I must congratulate you on doing, well done!
Be very interesting to see how a locked diff works on the back, have no experience with this other than locking centre diffs, Quaife do a LSD for the ml5 but its listed as for a van I believe.
I'm amazed at your project release date! I so wish I could dedicate that much time on mine in so little time!
Are you connecting the shifts cables from the front off the rear gearbox to the rear of the front gearbox and then using the 406 box to active the links on the front gearbox?
Could I ask what are you planning for the clutch mechanize such which master and slave sixes etc? Mine is VERY heavy but disengages the clutch within 2 inch of the pedal being depressed which just what I wanted, thank god its not a road car lol
I would recommend putting both your throttle bodies in a lathe and boring out that ramp in the back and porting the manifolds to suit, makes a nice difference to wot. And I’m sure you thinking of removing that restrictive front downpipe? Do it.
Looking forward to some more photos!
Oh.. Please I hope we never meet on the track, for safety reasons lol

Basically I used the 406 stick/selector box and doubled up the cables. 2x 3 metre long cables and they go to the original gearbox selectors and retainers. Very light and easy gearchange this time. Last time was really heavy and hard to change.

iv used both standard v6 master and slave cylinders but notpiped the rear up yet so not sire how it's gonna feel yet :&
