Space Invader: 1990 Citroen BX build

[loekaaz]

It looks like a BX GT, but without the flares. Or am I a bit off here?

Nevertheless, it truly has that space invader vibe

Im not really sure, I think that the GT would have been the equivalent trim level for a petrol engine. Im no expert on them but thats my guess. I was actually split between this and a W124, reading your thread was one that was swaying me towards the mercedes. But in the end this came up at the right price.

Ah nice! Feeling honored
I do have a weak spot for the Citroën weirdness I must admit. Looking forward to further updates.

Well, it's from a classic Dutch movie called FLODDER, where a gipsy family bribes their fancy neighbour (who is a salesman at a Citroën dealership) into giving them a brand new BX GT Sport, by showing the guy pictures of him cheating with their younger sister (first clip)

(ALERT: NSFW).

Haha, I should have done the same thing I could have scored this one for free!

This is the better of the two trashed lips:




I'm pretty sure it can't be saved since it's an aluminium one. But I was wondering if BBS lips would fit? They're both 15" and 30 hole. That way I could buy some 0.5" dishes super cheap.

If those lips are aluminum you should be able to repair the lips quite easily. Grab a lead hammer, smash the crap out of that dent to bring it back out and then take some emery cloth to sand out the deep gouges. Then all you gotta do it step up the gits and polish em out. Good as new!

Oh really? I thought it was only steel lips which could be repaired and luminium ones would just crack if you tried. Ill have to give it a go!

its certainly worth a shot! I recently repaired a set of billet specialties wheels that way. Hopefully it'll save you some cash!
