breaking bx 16v in nearly mint condition

Post by cossieboy599 »

hi there i bought a 2.0 16v and am now breaking it

the car is in really gd condition be a shame to let these bits go to the scrapyard

the panels are in gd condition the interioor is mint

not wanting alot of money for any parts just think it would be a shame to scrap it with the car in this condition basicly i will have the car anouther 2 days before i am scraping it so on saterday the car will be scraped so if any parts are wanted we can sort something takin them off car and colection ect

dont no if this link will work but this is the car
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0336685557

as you can see from pics mint

email me if anything is wanted chrissmith599@hotmail.co.uk

First obvious question is why are you scrapping a perfectly good car?

Also, it's a 1.9 litre engine, not a 2.0

There are few members around that part of the world, so hopefully the shell and interior will find a new home too.

I always find this amusing. What you've done is take a BX 16v, and make a car that is slower. The 205 is not as aerodynamic, and in many cases is actually heavier.

Had you simply kept the BX 16v, you would have had a car that is faster, more economic, cheaper to insure, and far less work.

Still, entirely your own choice. At least you've offered the car for parts here rather than many 16v's that have their engine's pinched, which end up unceremoniously squashed.

I'm tempted to have the whole of the car off you. How much would you want, and has anything other than the engine gone?

We Xantia owners have the same with our beloved Activas. In fact I expect the number of surviving Activas and Valvers is now likely on a par.

Tell you what Tim, buy the complete shell and then buy a 205 Mi16 that has been put through a hedge backwards due to lift off oversteer and use that as an engine donor :lol:

Revenge is a dish best served cold :wink:

Still, at least Cossieboy is offering up what is left of the car and that is no bad thing. Full marks for that. We just with the Activa rapers would do the same thing :evil:

There's been about 4 of these locally recently. Unfortunately somehow the local 17-year-olds manage to get hold of these things, and run out of talent very quickly.

bx 16v breaking

Post by chriscarterstevens »

i am very interetsted in the alloys and tyres, if somebody on here is having the whole car, could an arrangement to sell the wheels be made?

or could the vendor of the car contact me on chriscarterstevens@live.co.uk or on here to discuss.

many thanks guys
