Finally sent the car (B253WAV) to the bodyshop to get the rust on the doors sorted
The guy replaced the bottom of 3 doors which were quite bad and just cleaned up the better one.

New door bottoms






The front passenger door was just filled I think but still a good job







The car is different shades of red now but it'll probably get a full re-spray next year - when funds are good

Looks great! A good machine polish should bring the rest of the car up well, looks much better without those alloys, originally the steel wheeks should be silver.

He's made a lovely job of those doors

Nice one bud,


class car now, well done. Lovely to see another MK 1 alive and kicking.

Am envious.

Lovely work done by Jerry at Kenmare Crash Repairs

I can't stop looking at the bottom of the C-pillars

Now its ready for the CCC All Ireland Rally in Northern Ireland next weekend

Wow, it's so red, and so shiny - simply stunning! From where i'm sat that looks like a fantastic job, one to cherish methinks. Almost makes me wish my GT wasn't romantic blue, the colour has grown on me and I do like it, but shiny red will always be my favourite car colour.

Now to finish it off, and get that 'just rolled out of showroom' look, get some shiny black stuff on them tyres and spruce the wheel trims up!

[Des Smith]

Looks absolutely gorgeous and get's me even more excited about what my St Tropez's going to look like when she comes out of the paintshop this week.

@Tom - Red is a lovely colour for a car when it's all shiny and polished but is probably requires the most intensive care to keep it there. I autoglymed my MX3 last week and after all the rain and associated crap over the weekend it looks like it needs another polish.

[MULLEY]

Looks lovely, as Tom's mentioned, just need those scruffy (in comparison ) wheel trims re-doing & it will look ace

[kieran.l]

Thanks for the comments guys Those wheel trims do let it down now! What would be the best way to clean them up? And Tom whats that shiny stuff that goes on the tyres? Can't wait to see your car when its done Des

[MULLEY]

Probably best to get the wheel trims re-painted to match the fantastic paint job on your car. Tyre shine, its just like a moose/foam that you spray onto the outside of the tyre & then you just wipe it over with a rag & it makes the rubber go black & shiny, just like a new tyre Most people use them at car shows to make the whole car look brand new looking.

Gorgeous. Just like my old 19RD long since departed...

Thanks Mulley, I'll have to get me some of that stuff! Maybe I should get those trims re-painted too.

Chris, wow it does look just like it, a lovely deep red If you don't mind me asking, what was the reg? Its not clear but was it a B?
Do you know what happened to it or where it went?

[Tim Leech]

Looks fab! Paint the wheels silver and clean the trims up with t cut.

[kieran.l]

Thanks Tim. I've been meaning to paint those wheels...

At the All-Ireland CCC Rally in Londonderry last weekend. It was the only BX present


At Halliday-Citroën, Campsie


Myself, dad and uncle


Ebrington Square, Londonderry


A lovely line-up of Citroëns


Waiting for Lough Foyle ferry




Beside two immaculate Citroëns: Roger Porters XM and Frank Bergins CX.

She did 900 miles round trip without skipping a beat (burned a small bit of oil alright), very happy with her
