I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

A really nice example Alasdair. She'll definitely continue getting the TLC treatment at her new digs.

[Stickyfinger]

A rather large number of items keep getting added to the list

[Stickyfinger]

Buried deep inside the CX's speedo is this (one of two gears that turn the mileage barrels).

The teeth were worn on this part so I am rebuilding them with super glue built up in layers.

I will file them later to match the original profile.

It takes a shine OK

What a fantastic looking car!

I can't say I've ever seen one on the road but I'm sure it'd get a double take from me.

[Stickyfinger]

Well that is the Activa back on the road:

New Fitted: New lower P Bush, Intermediate drive shaft bearing, Lower engine mount bush, Drive shaft Oil seal, Steering rack inner expanding boot, Drive shaft boots and refurbished bearings, Replaced damaged heat shield.

Nice fleet of Chevrons there.

[Stickyfinger]

Cheers chap, I think I have a nice mix of the range.

As many here know when it rains I start getting bored and do things.

I drilled the rear trim, added a red filter sheet and fitted two led strips behind this running the wire under the rear screen pieces and into the boot via a drilled and grommeted hole.
The holes are filled with little rods of clear plastic glued in to them to form a seal and a "lens".
As the light "holes" are slightly recessed there is no light seen in the rear view mirror when they are on.

[Stickyfinger]

Trying to reveal the original bumpers, this after 2 1/2 hours !...so I will paint.

[Stickyfinger]

Front done as well

[Stickyfinger]

On-wards with the 1st level clean of the engine bay to allow me to asses what I have to do.

as I got it

[CitroJim]

Looking good Alasdair Nice!

She'll be concours in no time under your good stewardship

[Hell Razor5543]

I concur!

[Stickyfinger]

Cheers chaps

I hate Waxoil applied onto dirt and existing crustiness, and why oh why use the fracking black stiuff !

All sort of nasty edges just covered over. Nothing found of any particular worry.......yet

WaxOil DOES NOT WORK and makes problems worse, be warned.

[Stickyfinger]

More cleaning, the metal plate is the pipe cover over the subframe that takes the spare wheel, it started as just a little clean up.......ummmm

[bxzx16v]

Very nice work .
