Citroen BX Makeover - Flipping Bangers - S01 EP04 - Car Show

[@glentheseira308]

An enjoyable lite series to watch !!! reminds me of when 'wheeler dealers' initial started. Thanks to Will Trickett and Gus Gregory to produce such a good car adventure. Thank you !!

[@jameswalker7459]

Best car show since Top Gear

Wow, nice job! As an artist, I know how frustrating "bottle necks" can become. At times, I just have to put the brushes down and walk away for a while.

[@pauljames9393]

I had a BX 1.9 same colour as above but brighter. It went like a rocket and great to handle. I drove it to the south of france on two occasions without any issues !

[@ovandek8959]

about 25 years ago I had the pleasure of driving a BX GTi 16V Volcane 😍 all black with red trims

[@stuartleckie]

Rented a BX once. Drove from Scotland done to Bristol. About half way down one of the back wheels fell off, doing about 75mph on the M6. Car stayed level, got safely to the hard shoulder, the wheel had fired up into the wheel well and was fine. Pinched 1 wheel nut from each of the other 3 wheels, tightened them all right up, and off we went again. I hate to think what would have happened without the suspension of the Citroen.

[@Ford_TImelord]

Go back and grab that Landcruiser. Nice ones of that model go for $25,000 here in Australia.

[@hbor77]

Great looking car and they were fantastic cars. We owned multiple of them without any problems. However, I do miss the fog lights on the front…

[@scottishcontentcreators]

Dents de Poules that's what Gus should call his paintless dent removal service lol.

[@MalcolmLambe]

"Dents de poule".

[@carlhydes2058]

What happened to the fog lights??

[@MalcolmLambe]

And the dent on the drivers door.

[@Pyjamarama11]

I owned 2 GTI's an 8V D232 DPO which was a sensible fast car and a 16V E979 LDD which was just nuts and managed to get all four wheels off the ground over a humpback bridge :-P

[@hywibowo8618]

This is a very good series mate, Thanks a lot mate for your love of the BX, I subscribe.. 😊

[@csachevauxsansabri2612]

These BX's are fing tanks. If I need a reliable banger, it will always be a BX

[@wolfguy2008]

UK: " I can legally drive this on the way to it's MOT" 🤣🤣

[@truebrit3578]

I remember taking delivery of my BX 16 TRS and loving the innovation and then thinking that long term it might be a nest of problems. However as it had been my choice as a company car that was likely going to be someone elses problem one day😊

[@MrHuismeester]

Best car ever !!!!!

[@Macsimski2]

the octopus is a perfect example of Design For Manufacture. put the octopus on the subframe before you attach it to the rest of the car makes a lot of sense during manufacturing. it was needed because the hydraulics tank was repurposed from the CX and middels a few extra inlets for return hoses. I've replaced the one on my car with pneumatic hoses ( green coloured!) and festo press fit couplings, all coming together near the hydraulic tank, combining them there. if there is a leak, I only have to replace one hose, not the whole lot. but if you insist on replacing it with an original monstrosity, using stiff electric house wiring as a guide during removing and then inserting the new hoses saves a lot of fustration. I feel your pain.

[@MrErnogoldfinger]

Very impressed with the results guys 🎉

[@paulorso9979]

How did it pass with holes in the muffler …….

[@shedtime_au]

Must be lovely to be able to just hop up the road and find parts off the shelf. Anything I restore has to have bits shipped from "elsewhere" and the ensuing delays make it a nightmare. In fact it's easier to buy parts from the UK than try to convince a Sydney-based wrecker to ship the 500km to my place.

[@larseriksen8212]

In 1985 I had a 19RD - for 5 years. Loved the car, but the car had a problem with the aluminum cylinder head. Had to changes it.

[@Runeakb]

The BX has always been a weird mix of sophistication and flimsiness.

[@khalifahjamaluddin]

Good old day car that my father used to own during early 90’s. However he gave up it after 3 years due to it’s alternator and hydraulics failure. It’s hard to maintain it in tropical countries especially Malaysia, even hard to find a good example still running on the road here 😢

[@bobburns7277]

MOT - Pulled up for a loose battery clamp but a hole in the muffler and one headlight out seems to be ok

[@MalcolmLambe]

You saw that too eh? I call bullshit. They would have knocked it back on the dodgy muffler alone.

[@ramvidot4037]

Please post more of these

[@Chris-be1fo]

You bought the spotlights, but didn’t put them in. How come?

[@ArmySigs]

That acrylic paint you put on the door frames will last about a month, if you're lucky, before it starts looking like shite. You guys need to invest in a proper paint setup.

[@anthonyxuereb792]

A bit sad that Citroen have canned their unique suspension.

[@jo05dk]

The car looks good here, but man... Later on youtuber Number 27, Jack, bought it and fought to get it back on the road. He then sold it to another, and much bigger, youtuber, JayEmmOnCars, who thought he'd bought a good car, and sent it off to a third youtuber UPnDOWN, who've been trying to get it fixed... It's a real money pit it seems...like you expect i suppose. ..but man i hope it someday, somehow, ends up fixed. It's a VERY cool car.

[@Harrylechat01]

Out of MOT since Oct 2022

[@gaborcsuzdi7006]

It's currently undergoing thorough repairs. On KZbin it can be found under the name 'Professor Tomato' (due to its color and the plates ending in "PHD") on a great channel called UPnDOWN.

[@georgesedwardh461]

Why do it properly when you can do the bare minimum, right?

[@wolfguy2008]

Put it up for 3500 pounds.. sell it for 2,495. "We got a return on our investment there". Sorry, what?

[@alanpassmore2574]

Only a mentalist would pay 500 squids. Why did they never go to auctions? The mind boggles.... Good for them they were paid by the production company as you'd never survive as a business. Enjoy the show though...

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Why do you buy such scrapers lol you can buy normal cars 🚗 at normal prices and make at least £1500 profit

[@JOESEMTEX69]

Because they buy cars nobody else wants dumb ass!!!

[@neiltitmus9744]

For the entertainment and the saving of old cars from the scrap jard i guess and they make you tube money on top

[@rudolfzweep8]

​@@neiltitmus9744not they, but a guy filling youtube with tv-series.

[@PropanePete]

It’s a pity the garage roof wasn’t high enough for the hoist to go full height. Working on your knees all day is awful. Better off to put the car on stands and lie on a creeper.

Nice show. Do you get around cleaning the underside of the cars?
