Re: The BX Project

Citroen BX - FotU 2022 Prep - Fuel Leak Before I set off to this year's Festival of the Unexceptional, I wanted to trace a fluid leak near the engine. But first, the Citroen BX had a rather major fuel leak! Amazed I even made it. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/BX-Fuel-Leak....

Re: The BX Project

The interlude didn't go unnoticed Vanny, I wondered what was happening. I just read through it all and then lower down, saw your car covered in snow. I'm slowly catching up. In real-time, XPO is actually getting new parts put on now, rather than just never-ending welding. Continues to be slowed by ...

Citroën BX – XPO – Welding Repair of the Scuttle Pt2 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. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/BX_Scuttle2_12_800.jpg https://bxproject.co.uk/b...

Holy thread resurrection Dave, nearly 8 years old.

Re: Who's on the road (or could be), who is Not?

Another year of MOT and tax for me. Needed a bit of fettling which had to be outsourced but otherwise a clean sheet; https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/citroen-bx-pre-show-season-maintenance/ Also made it out to the first show of the season, the CC X-Rally https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/car-show-x-rally-202...

Citroën BX – XPO – Welding the Scuttle Pt1 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. https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/BX_Scuttle1_20_800.jpg https://bxproject.co.uk/...

Re: The BX Project

Citroën BX - XPO - Welding the Suspension Turret Non-structural repairs seemed a good place to start the welding on XPO. But rot in the suspension turret panel soon changed that! I don't claim to be a welding hero or perfectly neat, but it's functional and better than the rot it replaces https://bx...

Thinking of using AutoDoc? You might want to read this first!

I still see the odd negative report of AutoDoc, something that put me off for a long time. Having been using AutoDoc for BX parts for over a year now, they have become something of a lifeline for all of the cars. Maybe my experience will help you make your own mind up? https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/w...
