Re: £40 winter restoration
This is what happened the black BX:
It's not quite complete yet, need to fix a mount up for the drivers side, and make an exhaust manifold.
It will be running Adaptronic EMS. Just to give me a bit of a change! I have emerald in the 16V, AEM in the MR2 and used Link in it in the past - also megasquirt and megajolt in various projects.

Re: £40 winter restoration
Mmm, a V6 BX? I thought it couldn't be done due to space shortages, unless you plan on chopping the engine bay about? A V6 BX does sound rather attractive though... I'll be watching with interest, i'd also like to see you 14 (got a thing for 14's).

Re: £40 winter restoration
There's a lot of work to do to it to get it right, but it definitely can be done.

Re: £40 winter restoration
I'm still trying to work out how you got the engine out of the back car without removing half the things I had to remove!
What's in the red car? D6C or DFW?

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Re: £40 winter restoration
You sure that's a £40 restoration?
Nice work though. How are the throttle bodies on the 16v?
