What a magic username too

Car looks rough as a badger's arse, should be a cheapy.

A hairdryer on the bumpers would do wonders and is easy and free.

Pink bumpers...Pah!!! No sweat!

The rest of the bodywork....hmmm. Have to wait 'n see!

Mechanicals.......could be lucky, probably sh@gged....in which case I won't bother!

Thank you Tim! I take that as a REAL compliment, from a man as adept as you with wax 'n stuff!

The 16 petrol is quite a tough engine, that TGS had 160k on the replacement engine and ran fine. Plus it does bear a strong resemblance to your first BX does it not

I reckon you'd soon have that looking fresh Dave. Half a day's hard graft and it'd look a million times better.

Bring it to the CCC mids rallye and I will even give you a hand!

I will too if you like, for some peverse reason I actually enjoy cleaning cars. Very therapeutic and all that.

Well........depending on how things work out........IF I do get it, AND it's roadworthy enough to get to Stratford......Tim and Billy are more than welcome to give the "old bird" some pampering treatment!

That is certainly a good offer...and I WILL take advantage of it!

Cheers guys! Fingers crossed for Saturdays inspection!

Somewhere in here it mentions windscreens - we have many. And window panes. And any other glassy thing on a BX. Cheap, too

Windscreen --- BX16RS = How much? (BXClub "special price")
