A rather narcissistic post, but there isn't much down here, and my BX is the best in the world.

Phil gave me it after I fell in love with it and would be found out the back talking to it and telling it what a good BX it was, and that one day we'd show 'em!

His paint was matt, he needed new CV gaitors, radius arms, cam belt, and a bit of welding. He also needed an MOT and tax.

Anyhoo, I have done all this (a lot of it myself ) and now he just needs to be taxed. I have also taken out the horrible RE trim (which actually had WEE STAINS on the back seat) and replaced them with black from a Meteor. A couple of weeks ago Remy had to stop me from buying a 16v body kit (thats pretty tragic, don't you think?).

The sunroof, which apparently was totally dead has now been restored to it's former glory by me, on my own (Remy refused to help)!

Now I have a lovely shiny car which has only done 50k. He WILL be at Faversham Car Show next year!!!!

I love my BX.

Peektoors:

Just before I adopted him
After the repairs I had his compound polish done

More to come once I clean him inside!

That's looking great, amazing the difference a good polish can make to dull looking paintwork!

Nice to see a BX in here, there's not many still about (in fact I have seen about 4 times as many XMs over here in the past year than BXs, and thats saying something).

All you need now is a nice leather interior.

Oh, and maybe a drainpipe exhaust, lexarse lights, stereo shopping list stickers, cheapo tinny sounding subwoofer in the boot, cheap plastic spinner hubcaps, and to drive around McDonald's carpark with the suspension on low.....
.....or maybe not

Lets not forget the tinted windows!

How do you tell if the car is a he or a she?

Hi Deian

Easy, its a she when its unreliable, expensive to run and soaks up all of your spare time.
Its a he when it isn't/doesn't!

Mines a she
