Wanted - steel wheels and driver's door

[Retrofrench]

I'm after a set of decent steel wheels if any are about. Preferably with decent 165/70/14 tyres. Or without, then I can clean them up and add new tyres at a later date. Also on the hunt for a good driver's door for a hatchback and a rear passenger side light cluster (orange indicator). I'll hopefully be attending the national.

Hi adam

Glad your back in BX ownership, what's up with the drivers door (the colour is Alpine White code EWT)

Most BXs were white or red so finding one wont be hard.

Chris aka Doc Chevron is also in Bristol and may be your man.

I have every thing you need door (in silver) 4x solid steel grey rims in good cond tyres questionable, and a pair of rear light clusters.

[Retrofrench]

Thanks for the replies. The driver's door has been repaired it seems, it protrudes slightly at the bottom and I think it'd be cheaper/easier to replace? Where are you located rutter123? My rims are very rusty and if I'm gonna put four new boots on, I'd rather put them on better ones.

[Tim Leech]

Adam I'm visiting rutter next weds, im north of Birmingham so a fair way from you but nearer than him.

[Retrofrench]

Are you going to the national Tim?

[Tim Leech]

I am indeed!, I imagine Rutter may be doing so though?

Retrofrench, the door is good shape tho there is a tiny ding just below the lower trim easy repair, the rims are good and straight in grey retaining most of the original paint with hardly any paint bubbling-they are actually pretty good and came from my estate with only 40k's on it, a couple of the tyres may be ok. the rear light clusters are a matching pair from my old tgd which was scrapped.
I will let you liaise with Tim regarding collection of the bits as i am quite a way from you in South Lincs near Spalding, Tim is coming here next week to pick up some bits so may be able to help you out and get them a bit closer to you.
Tim, Not sure if im gonna make the National at the mo, im hoping to but not 100% sure i may be on Holidays.
I could arrange a pallet and send it but this would be quite pricey @ £55 plus vat.

I will be in a large estate car, which isn't an issue to collect the parts I guess BUT I will be in a BX hatch at the National and have a weekends worth of camping gear plus the X section BBQ x 2 so will struggle to accommodate sorry.

[Retrofrench]

Ok, thanks for your assistance chaps. I'm in no immediate rush for these parts I guess. I'll keep an eye out locally or maybe combine a visit to Spalding around the time of the national.

[Tim Leech]

I can probably pick up the rims and lay them flat in the car but the door would be an issue.

[rutter123]

Retrofrench did you still want these bits as Tim is coming over to me tmrw (wed) if you do can you let me know by midday tmrw, cheers.
