BXProject@ Kelsall Steam Rally 2024
A few weeks ago, I made the journey to Kelsall Steam Rally 2024. When, an electrical issue got out of control and I nearly didnt make it!
Citroën BX – Reproduction – 16V Bumper Bracket
The Citroen BX 16v Bumper Bracket is next on the list of parts to be reproduced to get XPO back on the road.Will it be bang or bust?
BXProject@ Drive It Day 2024
Despite the many I've joined in the past, Drive It Day 2024 was a fantastic day out with friends from 2CV GB in the Peak District.
Citroën BX – XPO – Fuel Pipes – Eps37b
Before the engine goes back in, this seemed like the right time to replace fuel pipes and recommision the fuel system.
Citroën BX – XPO – Engine Bay Preparation – Eps37a
It won't be long before the engine goes back in, so engine bay preparation of areas that won't soon be accessible seems sensible.
Citroën BX – Scrapper Caper
I've been stiffled on the XPO build by a lack of smaller parts. However, a 'part worn' BX leads to a scrapper caper and horde of parts.
Mercedes – SLK230 Revival – Part 2
SLK230 revival continues, with the engine now reassembled, will it start, and what other work will be needed to get back on the road?
Mercedes – SLK 230 Revival – Part 1
I found a nearly end-of-life SLK 230 R170, a great-shaped little car. This SLK revival could be costly. Just how much damage is there?
BXProject@ Rustival 2024
Rustival 2024 - The inaugral edition of the best car gathering I've ever been to.
Citroën BX – XPO – Hubs, Brakes and Bearings – Eps36
A brief bitsa article featuring bitsa hubs, brakes and bearings. All seemlessly stitched together to tell a tale of woe and foreboding.
Citroën BX – Reproduction – 16V Bumper Trim
Just 20 years after buying my Citroen BX I finally have 16V Bumper Trim inserts again. But only after having them reproduced from scratch.
Citroën BX – XPO – Electrics Pt2 – Eps35
Moving out of the interior and starting to prepare the engine bay for the arrival of the engine, starting with the electrics.
Citroën BX – XPO – Interior Installation – Eps34
With the interior electrics repaired and reinstalled, I could finally move onto the interior installation. Well most of it.
Citroën BX – XPO – Electrics Pt1 – Eps33
While the A-pillar rebuild on the XPO project seemed like a big challenge, restoring the electrics has proven far more taxing.
