Citroen XM Forum

Look forward to it.

22nd of June is its big day don't forget!!! 21 years old!

It's a while yet to the national. You never know.....

It's always nice to put things back together!Good work!

Well, apart from the front near side tyre I need to swap from the other car and refit the near side arch liner, I beleve the car is MOT ready

Managed to fabricate a rear end exhaust hanger bracket, and got the back box on..

So all welding done, exhaust on.. theres a little less to do.

Finish reassembleing the interior.. floor plastics, refit front seats, refit centre console.
A good hoover again to be 100%
Externally, wax n wash, then reality a FULL T Cut.. Ive noticed on the bonnet theres large writing, of the words NOT INVOLVED on the bonnet which you can see in the sunlight. It will come away with a T cut...

Then the trickyest part, fit the rear window glass. Ive got the Goo etc.

Oil and filter done, also cam belt and water pump done too, so thats taken care of.

After the mot, get some Spray Under seal like the brush on stuff, and spray the whole subframe and pipes, and also spray the rear subframe pipes etc. I checked them while the exhaust was off, and they seemed all good from what I could feel..

So, nearly there. Sort some insurance. Then sell myself to get some tax for her.

Paul, that's fantastic news

So, she may be ready for the National then? Even better!

I'm absolutely delighted to see how it's all coming together a treat

That'll be an awful lot of 20p's...

Thats why its taken and taking soooooooooooooiiooooo long to do!

But there we are...we learn to live with it..

What are you doing with it when it's on the road, keeping or selling?

The window will be easy as long as you clean the frame and glass well first.

Excellent Paul. Well done.

Hmmmm thats a hard one William... To be honest, with the absent of ABS, I wont bond, despite it being a trouble some system, when towing its still handy. Theres no Air Con too..

For the moment, I plan to use, I have actually come to LOVE the colour. If someone offers the correct money, she can go! By then there could be a Head Gasket and clutch in, becuase IF the gasket does go, it will be out to do it.. Im not p i s s i n g around in situ, then a clutch can go in too while its all out...

I am LIKELY to bring to CCC National, instead of a Xantia, but as for CXM, the 24v may be ready by then.... we shall see..
