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.

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.
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.
Rustival 2024 - The inaugral edition of the best car gathering I've ever been to.
A brief bitsa article featuring bitsa hubs, brakes and bearings. All seemlessly stitched together to tell a tale of woe and foreboding.
Just 20 years after buying my Citroen BX I finally have 16V Bumper Trim inserts again. But only after having them reproduced from scratch.
Moving out of the interior and starting to prepare the engine bay for the arrival of the engine, starting with the electrics.
With the interior electrics repaired and reinstalled, I could finally move onto the interior installation. Well most of it.
With the windscreen surround repaired and new glass in, focus moves to the scuttle. Refitting the blower, washer bottles and a small repair.
Part two of Tour De Forty will see us reach John O Groats on day three, with a rather unexpected change to the weather.
As it is not everyday that 40th birthdays come around, it seemed like an opportunity to treat the BX as we head out on Tour De Forty.
With so many correded metal parts on XPO, I took a dive into DIY cleaning and plating. Oh how I wish I had just let grown ups do it!
Before work continues on the engine bay, I need to tackle the steering rack boots. And they are just the start of the problems!

Despite Episode 27s distraction, I really need to push on with the A-pillar painting, again. How well will it come out this time?
