My Citroen AX GT5 project

[clarkey2010]

cheers guys, yeah sourcing the old stock parts has taken alot of the time, as i only want use NOS parts where i can to keep it close to OEM.
obviously there are a few bits that are not NOS like the cambelt and water pump etc... as i don't really want take my chances.

anyway i got some yellow fog light covers for when it finished because #frenchcarscenepoints




another big hunt was a another GT5 carpet which has literally took close to 12 months + for one to even pop up forsale. the one in car has a big hole in where the previous owner had worn heals or work boots which was a shame. a quick hoover and a wetvac and it will be as new

next part was to get all the suspension looking new again, so the wishbones have been pulled off the car, along with the struts,springs and ARB.
they have all been stripped down (balljoints pressed out etc...) and will be sent off to be blasted and powder coated, so just waiting for them to come back.

calipers were taken off and sent to BiggRed for a complete refurb which i am very pleased with!
