Hello John,

Welcome, love to see some pictures of your 2CV.

You probably know that the 16V never came with the 4x4 drive train so you'd have to combine two (possibly three including mi16x4) cars, starting with a rust free 4x4 as a base.

We have a member from Finland, Cibx, who has done this: http://bx16valve.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2147
He has a more in-depth thread under the same username on the bxclub forum.

All the GTi 4x4's had the standard 1.9 8v engine, same as the normal GTi.
Now listen here you mullet...

There was a full 405 Mi16x4 running train on eBay a few days ago. Might still be there!

I've always felt that a 405 T16 would make a good donor for a Bx, with it being 4x4 and a turbo :D
