    Less than 1200 miles? I guess it wasn't that great a drive,
    then? LOL

    How has the upholstery held up? Did you have to replace any of
    that?

    What an incredible project? So.. is the idea to take to shows
    and hope for a buyer?

    A family friend owned a Citroen in the 70's. The one he had
    boasted hydrolic suspension to gain more clearance for offroad/
    backroads driving.

    1200 miles/year - editor or user fail there!

    interior got a new headliner and a a few replacement minor bits.

    did this one to hang onto for a while, as easily the hours & $$ spent will
    make it a challenge to recoup in a quick resale.

    The CX has the full hydraulic system, which all the "spheres" were replaced
    as part of the reburbishment. That system does the variable height
    suspension, self-centering steering, and brakes.

    This is my 5th current Citroen and at least 16th Citroen I've owned.

    Enjoy the rides! The car is sure to turn heads.

    That's a lot of lemons! LOL

    The Citroen that my family friend had also featured the
    headlights that would follow your steering position.
