Citroën BX – XPO – 16V Gearbox – Eps39 Only a few years after starting, the 16v gearbox was overhauled and bolted back onto the engine, ready for installation. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/XPO_Pt39_Intro.jpg https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-16v-gearbox-eps39/

Citroën BX – XPO – Finishing the Engine – Eps38 While recent XPO progress has been slow, finishing the engine ready to go back into the engine bay has been a big emotional boost. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/XPO_Pt38_Intro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-f...

Citroën BX – XPO – Fuel Pipes – Eps37b Before the engine went back in, this seemed like the right time to replace fuel pipes and recommission the fuel system. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/XPO_Pt37b_Intro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-fuel-pipes-eps37b/

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. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/XPO_Pt36_Intro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo...

Citroën BX – XPO – Hubs, Brakes and Bearings – Eps36 A brief bitsa article featuring bitsa hubs, brakes and bearings. All seamlessly stitched together to tell a tale of woe and foreboding. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/XPO_Pt36_Intro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroe...

Well, after 10 years, I've finally managed to source replacement BX 16Valve Ph2 bumper trim. It' was a long old journey which is overly described here; https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/BumperReproIntro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-reproduction-16v-bumper-trim/ T...

Citroën BX – XPO – Electrics Pt2 – Eps35 Moving out of XPO's interior and starting to prepare the engine bay for the arrival of the engine, starting with the electrics. This article looks at the engine bay wiring, which is just as bad as the interior! https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads...

Yey!

Citroën BX – XPO – Interior Installation – Eps34 The start of 2024 brings a new article on the XPO restoration. Whoop. Anyone on here still watching? With the interior electrics repaired and reinstalled, I could finally move onto the interior installation. Well most of it. https://bxproject.co.uk/b...

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. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/XPO_Pt33_Intro.png Read More; https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-e...

With the windscreen surround repaired and new glass in, the focus moves to the scuttle. Refitting the blower, washer bottles and a small welding repair. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/XPO_Pt32_Intro.png Read More; https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-tackling-the-scut...

With so many corroded metal parts on XPO, I took a dive into DIY cleaning and plating.

Well, a lot of time has passed since I last updated the #CitroenBX XPO build progress, but work continues. Before work continues on the engine bay, I need to tackle the steering rack boots. And they are just the start of the problems! https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/XPO_Pt30_...

The next task on the XPO project is windscreen surround repair. While it is now looking epic, the offside A-pillar wasn't the only rot at the front of the BX. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/XPO_Pt29_Intro.png https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-xpo-windscreen-surround-re...
