Car Show – FotU 2022 – My Highlights
After weeks of turmoil with the BX, I wondered if it would even make it to FotU 22. But it did, and the festival was fantastic.

After battling the fuel leak, the original leak was still present. After a bad judgement call, I have even more leaks. Will I make it to FotU?
Before I set off to FotU, I want to trace a fluid leak near the engine. But first the Citroen BX has a major fuel leak!
Legend has it, that BX doors regularly fall off. They don't, but its often close. Let's tackle a Citroen BX door pillar repair, and keep that door firmly fixed to the car!
In this article, I tackle an inner A-pillar repair to the donor body panel. Now the Mega Shed is built, I can plough on with the XPO project.
For me, this year's show season starts with the CCC X-Rally at Little Horwood. This is the longest drive I've made in the BX for a long time.
I've put off using the modern classic due to niggling issues. Will some maintenance (and an MOT) for the Citroen BX restore confidence?
Being unimpressed with the performance of my existing snow foam system, I wanted to give the Autoglym Polar system a try. Turns out its ace!
The last-minute BX repairs where to get me to the Late Brake Show on Tour in Manchester. And it did. And the show was fantastic.
With a little spare time, I thought I would tackle a maintenance job on the Citroën BX. Replacing the HP pump belt was not as simple as I had hoped, but clearly long overdue.
After releasing the Ender5 article last month, a few people have contacted me about making parts. The first one I'm tackling is the BX boot door trim clip. #bxproject #Citroen #CitroenBX #carrestoration #Ender5 #3DPrinting
At last the final scuttle repair can begin. This seems like a simple piece to weld in, but for the next panel to align, it needs to be neat.
With the suspension turret repaired, I could turn my mind to making repair pieces and welding up the scuttle. Using the highly technical process of CAD.
After a seized cooling fan motor nearly ended my FotU trip early, I really needed a cooling fan replacement before taking the car out again.
Last week I went to the Retro Works Car Show in Chester for the first time. After deciding to wash the engine bay, I nearly didn't make it!
