1990 Citroën CX 25 Safari! DTR Turbo 2 Restoration

Have not progressed that much since the last update, due to work commitments taking over. However I did manage to get the front bumper on and in place, provisionally, please also note this car will never be concourse condition, however my aim is to make it roadworthy and maintain it to keep it that way!

 

Such a happy looking car don't you think!, I am missing the bulb holders for the main headlights, so that will be something to address. 

Anyway, going back to the rear rusty boot, I know it looks bad but itll all be fixed, clearly the window was leaking at somepoint, getting under the boot carpet, and then becoming still water

grizz - Patience and vision is what keeps this project alive, if you think "oh ill get it back on the road in 2 months" every time a unexpected problem arises, it'll knock the motivation!

The colour was somewhat special to say the least, however the full thing will need a repaint at some point, due to the patchiness of the paintwork, I was thinking a glossy red or pastel colour?

As ive stated previously, the car was originally silver, and to me that is too simple! something unique, abit like the car

Horncastle - The CX Safari estate was always a dream, if I didn't buy one when i did, who knows it possibly would have been a dream lost in time?

Thanks for your comment

Unfortunately not much to say!

The front metal has had its second coat of primer, and I have finally ordered some 5W bulbs for the front bumper lights. 

Picture below of them in the two holders. 

I always liked the Silver/grey that the "Leader" editions came in (BX, CX, VISA I think?)... my step-Dad had a 25 GTI Turbo CX that was in Dark Green that was nice...
