I bought an -89 BX with 1.4 TU engine, without any fancy electronics, shell was absolutely stunning! But I've always fancied a 16 valver, so I bought a rusty shell where i could take interior, engine etc.
Heres how it looked when I got it:
I stripped interior and other stuff so I could start getting it back together:
After I got everything stripped, I started doing some noise dampening:
Also electric windows and central locking found their place
Engine got a full rebuild aswell (didn't paint anything tho
)
As it was getting "ready" i started to search for rims, luckily i found a set, Fondmetal 4000 in 15x7 size with et30 (i have 16mm spacers)
They werent looking good, so i decided to paint them and polish lip
Meanwhile i already had driven car a few weeks, so it was working well
A friend of mine painted the rims, pretty unusual colour
As you can see, front sits way too high compared to rear, so I had to do something about it..
Modified front suspension a bit (original in pic, didn't take one from modified one)
As that -4cm i got from that modification wasn't enought:
Much better!
Later on i got morettes and sideskirts on, drove it few months looking like this:
Current driving height is this:
At the moment im not driving it as of winter, but in the summer i'll start scratcing bottom of it..again..
Latest modification i made for it was to paint front repeaters orange:
Currently morettes are getting "polished" so they're not on it right now.
So here's where i got it
Ground clearance from front subframe to ground is 2cm in lowest position, driving height is about 5-6cm.
The first judder bump that car hits at speed either the bolts will snap or it will tear out of the eyelets at the edge of the strut top frame. VERY dangerous and it shouldn't pass the MOT in that condition.
