1992 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
"Pants, but well worth it if you have 6 points and a bad accident record"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Horn (still not fixed).
Lefthand outer CV boot (replaced with a split one myself which saved me about £90).
Drive shafts.
Gearbox diff and thrust bearing needed replacing.
My garden wall scratched my bumper.
Fog lights.
Buckled alloys.
Passengers electric window ie. motor, regulator, mounting.
Passengers door lock, passengers side skirt (all this due to slamming of the door during heated arguments LOL).
THE BIGGEST CRACK YOU HAVE EVER SEEN on the floor where the left hand mounting of the seat is.
SCARY AS HELL TO DRIVE.
2 MASSIVE rust holes behind the headlights in the engine bay.
Blowing exhaust - some idiot welded a standard back box to my Scorpion center section, so I had to cut that and weld a decent back box to it (dunno if that's legal or not).
Blowing manifold.
By the way if anyone can give me advice on welding the body inside and out and has any info on reinforcing the welds, please email me at sgreenham@burgundyglobal.com
General comments?
Well fast, beats RST's, Uno's, XR2's, GTE's GSI's and other GT's due to the 4 branch manifold, gas flowed, ported and polished head, and K&N, Stainless exhaust.
The alloys are pants, the body is pants, MY CAR IS PANTS, but I love the thrill of fixing it myself.
WICKED.
