Gti 4x4
The seller has got back to me and says it needs a windscreen and exhaust that he knows about.He will sell it complete and wants £350.

Go for it Ray.These are rare beasts but if you can check the 4wd system as i seem to remember they had trouble?
How are you getting on with TRS?
Still no news about Cx but if he,s had to apply for a log book it may take a few weeks.

£350 erm, are values going up, especially a 4x4 with untested transfer box, buggered exhaust, & windscreen, i presume no tax or mot either??? I'd pay scrap value only tbh, but having said that, a car is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, so i'm not going to knock anyone regardless of what he/she buy's it for.
Ray, i take it you know about the pitfalls of these 4x4 beasts? if not do a search on the forum, it may make the negotiations easier for you.

I know they can be a bugger, and will probably need a lot of the oily bits refettling. But.. I always wanted a BX 4x4, and how many are around these days? I've never seen one in the flesh (tin & plastic?). There might be 1 or 2 at the national, but 'in the wild?'
I'm in the perhaps luxurious position of not actually needing a BX - just having one for pleasure - especially the pleasure of saving one from the scrap, spending much more on it than it is worth, and having something I'm proud of at the end of it (my 19TRS auto is a fine example...)
I will have a bit of a look round, but as I recall the main complain is the fragile transfer box (which some people exchange for a Peugeot unit with much success) and the oddball exhaust, which will give brother hours of fun with a pipe bender and a welder

Hole in the side is gone, tailgate glass Tigersealed in, interior detail cleaned - pix to be posted soon.
CX: Thanks for letting me know. I'm hoping he hasn't applied for the logbook - I wish I'd bought it myself now - I didn't see it until it was too late
Maybe a gang of local hoodies could helpfully remove the window trims etc for me?

I have a 4x4 Estate that keeps getting threatened to be scrapped. I found a good 2nd/hand exhaust for it, just been stood for a few years. Starts and moves, 4x4 system doesn't clunk. Just needs a bit of work and a good clean.
