Hi all,
I present you my new acquisition since some months, i bought it with the intention of the restored. His motor is origin, never open and totals 155,600 Miles. The majority of the radiator hoses were to change before purchase. She was bought in 1987 by his first owner.
His origin color is red furio, but ironed in paint 2 years ago by a red unknown one. The paint had tarnished on the whole surface, after a good blow of polish, one rediscovers a paint nine!!

Second puts to bed paint
Dismantling of the 2 comodos, I thought that they were dead, but the problem always is present.
For presented me, my first car was a BX TRD TURBO White Meije of 1990, traversed 31.700 Miles to his edge, then sold to my brother that had sold it to me... My second BX, a GTi Exports (Germany) of 1990 with 122CH (catalysateur), kept 21.750 Miles then sold... Sold the TRD TURBO for bought the 16V.
Now, i roll all the days with a BX 19 TRD of 1984, then the 16V for rolled the weekends!
Yesterday afternoon, a little time for me, it was nice out, then I profited from it for tried a finishing polish, after some essays, this is a lot better than before.
It still remains to do, but the brilliant one begins remaking surface #top#
