Sat for 4 years!! -Citroen BX recommission Week 1

Recently bought a 1988 Citroen bx. A nice show car that got sold and hasn’t moved in 4 years. Hopefully get the thing out and about soon, but it’s not without its issues

What a car, we all know you'd rather be working on this than the newer stuff.... Oldskool rules 🤙🤙🤙

[@ZakKol69]

Haha you know it. Love working on the old stuff!!

[@MrR0o]

I remember my old next door neighbours dad having one of these cars. When I first saw the suspension raise up I thought it was bloody amazing. Lovely car.

[@ZakKol69]

It’s honestly addictive. I’m so in love with it! So much character. Can’t wait to get it on the road

[@MrR0o]

I've subscribed, watching people fix and make things whilst I am sat at work makes me feel slightly less useless :D Looking forward to seeing it brought back, best of luck with it mate :)

[@Jeremie-zu1fd]

very nice, hello from france !

[@ZakKol69]

Bonjour!! Merci d’avoir regardé 👍

[@rednissan001]

I’d love one

[@ZakKol69]

When I saw this crop up at the right price I just couldn’t say no!!

[@aaaabababa]

Odd way to lower the car with those spacers under the strut tops.

[@ZakKol69]

Yeah it’s abit strange isn’t it. It got done around 6 years ago. Sort of like a body drop I suppose. If I end up keeping the car I’ll do something a little bit nicer than that

[@deppyboi]

Propa car

[@DaveLaneGC]

Had 2 of these. Great car! Are the glovebox and door hinges intact?

[@ZakKol69]

Hahahah no, you open the door and the lid just falls off 😂 nice to know it’s common

[@DaveLaneGC]

@@ZakKol69 some random tips: if you have a tow hook always check behind the car before starting it and ripping someone’s bumper off… Do not turn the car engine off while the doors are open…. If you need to change the spider get someone who has done it loads before. Always keep the spare bottle of lhm fluid in the car and water

[@ZakKol69]

@DaveLaneGC haha excellent tips! Sounds like you’ve been caught out a few times

[@DaveLaneGC]

@@ZakKol69 you can store them next to the washer bottle :) I’m assuming you checked all the spheres are good or a world of pain …. Every BX i have looked at has weird dents in the wing tops. where people have bounced the suspension up and down
