Im glad I found it as much as it found me, it was getting to the "point of no return", I wish that was all my lock up, theres 50 spaces inside for cars/caravans, of which 3 are mine! :lol:

Bonnets on!, as are the headlamps and the front bumper (unpainted - trial fit), I will be using the two days off for the jubilee to try and remove the rear bumper without damaging it, which will probably entail drilling through the stupid domed shaped screws as they wont budge. Ive ordered 6 later torx type to replace them with after ive had them both painted.

MOT time soon, then its off the to the bodyshop.

Ive spoke to my local graphics place to see if they can recreat the BX side stripe that once was fitted.....

Looking very well indeed. Now that the challenge is "paid" for I can divert some funds towards the XM. Desperately wants the wheels refurbing and I would like a nice leather/alcantara interior installed. :)

Rear bumper came off today, its knackered, all the bolts were rusted solid, thankfully the rear panel has surface rust but thats about it, both rear quarters around the bumper area are rotted, one far more than the other. All the carpets back in now, front bumper was a trail fit for picture purposes and will be painted soon.

Looking good. Who have you got to do the metalwork and respraying? You will need to hire some " staff " to bring all the various BX's to the ICCCR!
