Incredible restoration work. As a former Citroën mechanic, I appreciate very much what you've achived. This CX Turbo is not such an old car but it represents a tremendous job to renew the badly damaged and rusted body, the engine / gearbox group, interior trimmings and so much more. You can be proud of your job, you are a master. Thank you so much to enjoy us with your skill and this now really nice automobile.
Superb, what a hellish job. I drive an unrestored CX2500 limousine (Diesel) in BC Canada. I sincerely hope that you get at least the same amount of joy out of your car, or even more, from what I have experienced. For me its pure therapy. Other Citroen drivers understand what I am trying to say. Hats off to all involved doing this, Bas.
Just perfect ! From France a little boy in a old body says thank you so much for that ! Last frame when you hide "Turbo wheel"... Just before i said "it's too bad she don't have originals wheels" and then i had goosebumps Thank you !
There's love in what you've done... from a car ready for the wrecker to a complete refurbishment and it comes out looking like new... long live the CX 💪🏻
The CX is my favourite car of all time. I worked as a paint sprayer in a Citroen main dealer in London in the early 80's . Your work is incredible and you are a true craftsman sir !!
Merhabalar.. Bende kendi kendime Citroen aracımın basit problemlerini ccozmeye ve bunları paylaşmaya çalışıyorum..youtbe kanalı yapıp videolar eklemeye çalışıyorum..beni de takip edebilirsiniz ve videolara bakabilirsiniz !!!!
Da bambino quando avevo 10 anni l'ammiravo parcheggiata sotto casa, ricordo era azzurra e mi fermavo a guardarla, complimenti per il lavoro di restauro, e' una macchina bella come poche , uguale a nessuna, unica e irripetibile.
Ochin khorosho komrades! Beautiful work. You represent everything that is great about Russia, ingenuity, expertise and an appreciation for western engineered cars! Bravo
I did go to school to become a car mechanic back in the mid 80's and i did spend 14 days as an intern in shop working on these, and Peugeot's such a cool car, but yeah those where more brand new, i like these they sure are one of a kind.
Fantatic job, big effort, I like the 85 turbo gti because of the chrome bumpers. Became myself a cx fan buying a 79 gti in gold metallic with the brown leather seats that was in 1991. The next was a 86 Diesel bought in 1994 and drove more the 420000km with it. In 2004 got a GTI turbo II (1997) as a wedding present from my lovely wife. Bought another turbo diesel and a Gti in 2005. Because I have a Taxi company in Belgium and sortage of space I had to sell the last tree cars in 2008. Sadly I don't have a cx at the moment. Hope to find me a nice GTI in the future. Greetings from Belgium.
Respect. Well done to bring this classic car back to life again. A lot of work was done building this beauty up from scratch again. I'm very glad that there are still CX Enthusiast like me (CX 25 TRD1 Series1) working with this sometimes unique technical solutions and being happy with it. The documentation is amazing. NIce interieur work as well. I will try the shown laminating solution with the indoor panel knobs. Best wishes and keep on hovering down the road and always enough LHM in your reservoir. CX Greetings from Germany.
Thanks! My bent front door panels hold up well. But it is not a knobs laminated. It is a plastic washers laminated. And a knobs can rotate free in these washers for better positioning as in the original
@@seekrestore7089 Maybe it is possible for you to do another video showing us how your solution is built, because more or less all door panels do have the same problem with the originial knobs torn out. Would be nice. Thanx. Abo is ticked on.
А ведь здесь даже и сотой доли реальных трудозатрат не показано!... Это очень крутой проект. Не для слабаков) ЗЫ. Друже, дай тряпочку диски протереть, а!)
Du-Ihr set Wahnsinnig !!! Wahnsinnig GUT !!! Ich habe allergrösten Respekt vor der Arbeit die da geleistet wurde. Das Video gibt nur einen Bruchteil der Arbeit wieder die da geleistet wurde Ich Wünsche dir euch allzeit Gute Fahrt und sehr viel Spaß mit dem Citroen.
I restored a CX Safari, at enormous expense, like stupid money, but she didn't get all the attention you've lavished on this car, I'm very jealous. My car was running well though, so my restorers didn't want to strip mechanics out in this way, probably frightened of the Citroen stuff as well, he wasn't a Cit specialist. I marvel at your enginuity & shere cleverness to restore a CX to this level, they are so difficult & although we might love them, they do have lots of not great quality bits & pieces that break, snap or just don't work that well, so you must be very patient. Also I wish I'd not tried to force in as many 'improvements & upgrades' as I did, a few years on now & they're starting to not work that well & now need removing, changing or fixing. I always tell people, younger people perhaps with smaller wallets, to just buy a classic that you love & keep it running with fixes here & there, a full restoration is a sure way to madness, so I hope you're still sane. Sir, I salute you ;-). (My CX can be seen after it's paint on my channel, I still have to do a video about the entire restoration, just haven't felt like it until recently, so we'll see.......!)
Epic job guys. Brilliant. I have a 1985 2500 auto Pallas stuck in a garage waiting for this sort of treatment. It was in use until vandals smashed the rear passenger window. It got taken off the road and hasn't been out since. This video at least shows me that it is possible. Any viewers in the UK that can recommend a Citroen restorer? This car must be a sight out and about in Russia, which is where I guess you are based. Well done again on a nice resto, LG.
Did you find a restorer yet? I'm in the UK & I 'restored' my CX a few years back, you can see it partly done on my channel, have never gotten around to showing the complete job yet, I'll do it sometime. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone in the UK would call themselves a CX restorer, with just a handful who may restore old Citroen, there's not a lot of money in it & it's really difficult! I don't belong to it anymore, but you could join the Citroen Car Club & ask around for help or just speak to some well regarded restorers & see if they'll take it on. The problem you may discover & which I had, was I found a restorer who would take her on, but he wasn't a Citroen specialist, so it took longer than it should & some Cit specific jobs that should've been done, weren't, which was disappointing. Also, will they want all the money or a large lump sum up front, or can you pay as you go? Then how far away are they, if you can't pop in every now & then, they may take longer than is needed, also you may be able to help sometimes, which you can't if you're not local. Finally, are you going for original, or do you want to try to improve anything & how far do you want to go? It's a minefield I'm afraid, but if you still want to try (and haven't yet), I know a few people you can speak to, my contact is on my about page. ;-)
Fantastic work! I think the series 2 CX interior is the best looking production car interior EVER! I wish I could put one into my XM, preferably one with the double chevron "fish grate" cloth though!
Wow…ok… it is DIY but… you are just professional This is an very very complicated car…you must love it Big respect, you are very precise man And I think you are working in Citroën Workshop 😬😎 Me too (=Opel 😂 almost the same) I wish you a lot of fun and happyness with this dream car
Formidable restauration 😍 j'ai eu 2 CX, une série 1 de 1982 et une série 2 de 1986 en Belgique, j'ai bien aimé le confort exceptionnel de ces deux voitures. Pas de doute, vous êtes doués en Russie par votre travail exemplaire. Merci pour cette belle vidéo sur la CX.
I love the CX best car I ever had. Steering incredible the car goes wherever you point it. Speed bumps the faster you go the less you notice them. A ton of paving slabs in the back the car stays level. More comfy inside than a living room
Precioso supersalon galo. Ya que restauraron este citroen, desde su base, yo hubiera aprovechado de fabricarle la quinta puerta trasera ya que la que traía original, era complicada. Hay carroceros que se han encargado de ello. Realizan una labor casi artesanal con resultado profesional. Buen trabajo
Alors là...un très grand BRAVO à celui ou ceux qui ont travaillé à la restauration de cette belle voiture ! C'est une véritable renaissance ! La CX CITROËN est vraiment la Reine de la route et surtout de l'autoroute ! Je connais bien cette voiture, j'en avais une dans les années 80', mais avec moteur 2,2 Diesel. Un confort Royal ! Prenez-en bien soin, Salut de France !
BRAVO JOLIE ET MITICULEUX TRAVAUX SUR UNE SI BELLE VOITURE ,APRES LA DEMOISELLE ET BELLE (DS) MERCIE POUR UNE SI BELLE HISTOIRE MEMOIRE A LA FRANCE FELICITATION A VOUS ...!
congrats for the passion..!!..I have my own CX 1985 Turbo...also..,I was lucky the car had been sitting for 11 years in a garage away from any rust...!!..the orange color of the block was a factory code color..great..!!...I decided to use the spare tyre space to install a large intercooler and large (manual ) cooling fans, the Garret T3 was too happy-hot for my taste (even with a 'sock')..!!!...and it is a manual..those leather seats are just amazing...i taught myself to work leather and used 'old' dark brown leather for the interior ...this car is just a ride from another planet....hard to explain...all the secrets and goodies this car hides...
Very very very! Good job! nice to see so much passion for this exceptional beautiful car ! Citroen at its best despite of all the critics this is one of the finest cars to drive in. What a nice job, would like to own one like this!
Wow. Blown away. What incredible work. I'm restoring a 1979 CX2400 and would love to know how you repair the door cards. Thank you for sharing the work you have done and for saving another one of these incredible machines. @citroencxpilot
Trouver une CX TURBO 1 ere serie avec une boite de vitesses automatique ! C'est comme trouver une fraise qui pousse sur un olivier ! 😅 félicitations pour ce travail exceptionnel

Great car,my neighbours had one in 89 and I had a Renault 25 v6 turbo.We both wanted each other’s cars 😊
nothing can be done without money and much less without patience ... rebuilding from scratch
Well done! Amazing results, a pleasure to watch
Magnifique travail ! Félicitations !!
To me, these cars were like space ships compared to everything else on the roads in 70's Ireland. I dreamed of owning one.
In my top 10 beautiful cars of all time the CX is number one - ahead even of the DS. Congratulation for the result!!
Me traen gratos recuerdos la visión de este CX. Me recuerda a mi CX 25 GTI turbo 2 que tuve en propiedad. Enhorabuena por la restauración maestros!!!
