My 16s of 1987

Post by Tony »

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!!

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!

That's a very nice job. The red takes some looking after but now you have got it looking so good if you keep up the cleaning it is a lot easier. :D
