very tidy looking car mate!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Dear Sandre.
I have to admit, it was far too complicated for me in the end with the photo,s today
:oops: But Shari has kindly managed to download them for me again :wink: :)
I would really love to go to York Sandre, but unfortunately, sadly it is too far by a
long chalk :(
I am colour-blind so there is no chance of me painting anything that " needs " to have
a good match Sandre #-o As for your car Sandre, you never know what is round the
corner, friendships that you haven,t made yet, these things in life will happen one day,
before you know it :wink:
The previous owners called him " Neville ", but I do like to name most of my cars, after
Ladies names. So I have decided today that after bieng annonamous for 7 months I
thought that she would really like to be called " Sandy " from Grease of course =D> :D
I thought of that name because it is " Sandy " to have really good knowledge of a lot of
things before you buy your BX. =D> :lol:
I hope you like the photo,s Sandre, and thank-you again for your kind comments too :wink:
Take Care.

WOW Vince, your car is looking beautiful, she outshines mine by a long way! I hope that one day my car (which I like to think or as your car's older sister) will look this impressive. That day is looking a long way off at the moment! I bet you can't wait to get behind the wheel again.

Very impressed,

Jane

Dear Paul.
That is so really really very very nice of you to say so Paul =D> If there was one
thing I did learn from having the Sunbeam Rapier Fastback for 13 years, was don,t take
anything off the car, until you have a new to replace it with, in your hand Paul :)
I thought aswell Paul, that it is a rarerity too " a lesser spotted white BX " which
hopefully when she comes back from the bodyshop, will be at least less three more spots
at least anyway [-o< :)
All The Best, and take care Paul :wink:

Dear Jane.
Firstly I am so pleased you have hopefully managed to source some wheel trims Jane =D> :D Everyone on this forum, are really great, and very thoughtful too :) :wink:
Thank-you so very much aswell Jane for all of your very kind comments :)
I think too it would be very nice to think of our BX, s as being " sisters "
At the moment I am only polishing 4 cars regularly, my wifes motability Astra, my
youngest daughters previous car megane and my SAAB ( which is in a garage that we
rent from the council, which is 1/2 a mile away from the house. ) and the BX when
she is here :wink: I do have a double driveway which helps alot. :)
One thing I have been doing ( with thanks to a few people on here ) is to get your-
self a few little spares together.
All The Best Jane :wink:

Dear All.
We found out today some really really fantastic news from Andy and Joan, that they
are going to be bringing " Sandy " the BX back tomorrow =D> :D I am so really excited
and can,t wait to see her again :wink: I am really looking forward to see how her steel
wheels look now they have all been shot-blasted and resprayed in satin black, and how
she will look with her graphite grey wheel trims too. And her newly painted sills are going
to look aswell 8)
I just hope that " Sandy " hasn,t " scent " marked Andys new bodyshop floor too
much, whilst she has been there :oops: [-o<
One thing I wanted to ask permission for, if I may be able to kindly put Andys body-
shop details on the forum :?: or is that not possible :wink:
Many Thanks Indeed :)

There's no problem with you mentioning his contact details here Vince, although we don't have a recommended suppliers list at present. I know that some forums don't allow links to suppliers, but we're a relaxed bunch on here!

Dear All.
This evening Andy and Joan brought " Sandy " back home, after her visit to Andys
bodyshop :D She is now resting peacefully outside :-$ Andy has done an absolutely fan-
tastic job on her =D> All 5 of her wheels look a million dollars now and the graphite
wheel trims are absolutely perfect colour 8) her bonnet now looks like glass. The two
satin black door frames he has painted are such a spot on match, I couldn,t tell which
ones he had painted :shock: :D Both of the front kick panels look like they have never
been painted. and the sills are like new aswell.
They have kept a photographic file of Sandy whilst she was in the bodyshop, which
when I get them I can put them on the forum for all to see :D
Weather permitting tomorrow I will take some photo,s of Sandy in all her new glory.
I will add some more info tomorrow :D
