Re: wurlycorners '96 Xantia Activa - one step forward but 'knock'ed back...

This year is definitely the plan.
It's not that far off really. Couple of weekends on the ramp hopefully.
I'm also gonna change one of the strut tops too (did n/s about 5 years ago due to corrosion and now the rubber on the o/s has started to crack).

Just got 2 preludes to rebuild first so I have space to get it over there :lol:

Well, I'd like your Activa Jim but I was thinking of Ians Turbo CXs. In particular the Turbo 2. Sexy car with an engine to boot.

I'd love a black Turbo 2 but I cannot see it happening in the near future.


(I know of one (Turbo 2 and Black) ) dusted and abandoned CX in a garage here in town. Its a public garage and someone climbed on top of the car, stood on the roof and pee'd all over it .. It's very evident from the footprints and pee stains :( I might have a picture of the travesty somewhere)

Take a look for CGATs' CX. It is somewhat spectacular.

Sounds like a good one to rescue Hans, after a good hosing down that is...
