1951 Citroen Light 15 V8:

The Citroen Light 15 V8 was built by Peter over a 7-year time period. Some donor parts came from wrecking yards, but Peter still used many of the original body parts to fabricate and redesign the Citroen. It went from the original 4-cylinder engine which had no power, to a 351 Windsor V8, with plenty of power. Peter changed it from manual to auto, from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive, with independent suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes.
He hand-fabricated the floor, mud guards, running boards, bonnet, boot, grill and pretty much everything else.
