Rust in Peace...

[Stinkwheel]

May have to join up to the next trip over anyone takes, if thats OK, could someone give me a shout if a trip is lined up please

[Tim Leech]

Youre very welcome Matt, Paul and I normally go on a weekday when were both off as weekends Alan normally goes home down south....I imagine it will be into next year now before we go again as at the moment im ok for parts (and Ive spend up!). It is a breakers yard so bring tools and cash as he will expect you to buy something!

[Stinkwheel]

Thats excellent Tim, thank you.

Im happy to bring tools and cash, should expect i wont be able to resist buying something or another

Also happy to book the day off work to do so if required.

[Tim Leech]

Ok Matt, I imagine it wil be sprind time. Also Barry Annells of Bourne Citroen has a good selection of BX spares and a large collection of air coooled Citroens in various states of repair.

[Stinkwheel]

Tim,

If anyone is planning a jaunt to Bourne Citroen Id be very interested in joining in, some odds and ends are required for the Ami 8 and im sure Barry will have some bits available

[Stephen C]

I would like to go over the next time please, for me it would be just stock up for parts for the future,

Stephen

[Tim Leech]

Your welcome to join us Stephen but there's only 1 mk1 and that's not a breaker.

[Stephen C]

Your welcome to join us Stephen but there's only 1 mk1 and that's not a breaker.

Thank You for that Tim, it probably would not be worth my while then if it was closer I would have gone along just to learn
some more about BX's in general from people who are knowledgeable.

Tell you what Tim, me and this car have become the best of friends I could not be more pleased with it.

Stephen

[Tim Leech]

Good to know Stephen, I miss it.

Think I may be heading over to Alan's again very soon, the interior I lined up for the RD hasn't come off as there's parts missing.

[Mothman]

Your welcome to join us Stephen but there's only 1 mk1 and that's not a breaker.

I believe its got 300k on the clock [previous quote] and that means the engine is probably BER [beyond economic repair] and one of the possible reasons for it to be parked up. Ide love to come up and get some bits off it!! Probably going to rot into the ground unless you know that there are plans for it.

Andy

[Tim Leech]

I think its a runner Andy, but has been declared as scrapped to the DVLA but Alan doesnt want to break it.....

Next time I am up I will ask him again.

[citsncycles]

I'd beter not go near the place - I've just sold 2 motors so have space in the main barn!

[Mothman]

If its been declared scrap Tim then it wont be able to be put back on the road. I think we have had discussions on the forum re this before.

i would be prepared to come up and have a look if bits can be taken from it.

Andy

[Tim Leech]

Your quite right andy, which is a shame as its red, which is quite rare.

[Stephen C]

I would be looking for a plastic bonnet, I would of course never get rid of the original bonnet, but I would very much like to put a plastic bonnet on the car,
and on the subject of bonnets, I have a Mk 1 diesel, can anyone please tell me if a Mk 2 will fit and explained about long and short nose bonnets and which will fit a Mk 1 diesel.
