Hi All,
Its been a long while since i last posted anything but 2013 is going to be a good year for me . A lot of things have changed recently and im now working again in a full time job earning decent money. I still have the 16v although its been sornd and dry stored since 2009 but i no longer have the escort rs turbo as it became to expensive to maintain and realy wanted to have the bx back on the road so ive sold the escort and bought a very nice low mileage phase 2 citroen xsara vts on a 51 plate to replace the escort and can now concentrait on the bx 16v.
im putting a fair bit of my wage back each month and buying up the parts i need when i can although i need a standard uncracked gearknob? if anyone can help me source some bits. I also have a local bodyshop owner (keith rule) coming out to give me a quote on bodywork and a full professional repaint although im looking to get quotes from other places too as i want the car as mint as i can get it so it will have to got to a professional and not a back street garage.
Me and dad have started doing bits at it and have rplaced the cambelt and tensioners, drivers side rear arm bearing and removed the old octopus and put in all new return lines seperatly to a manifold that we had made up and it works rather well and all conections are now up to and easy to get to. Weve also started taking the bodykit off to save labour as it needs 2 new sills. Ill also be taking the interior out myself so i know anything wont be damaged in the process.
