I've backed it off a bit at the moment, still a laugh to drive.

Awful wasn't it.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - silverzx - 13-07-2015

Why was it awful mate?


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - THE_Liam - 13-07-2015

It was brilliant, epic lean angles in the bends!


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - procta - 13-07-2015

i bet it was a right giggle to drive!


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Piggy - 13-07-2015

I missed it... did it get on the hill!??


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - THE_Liam - 14-07-2015

I was behind it in the queue Smile


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Poodle - 14-07-2015

Looked brilliant going up the hill, properly on the door handles!


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - mr_fish - 16-07-2015

Couple photos from the past weekend (cheers to who took them),  I didn't take any...had the video camera though.

Good times all round really. Car went up the hill twice, cue all of the coal and wheelspin when WOT.

Arsed up my first run but meh, wasn't really going for timing, just seeing if the D8A was going to stick it.

Anyways....


This is how low the 309 went with three OC members sat in the rear.

Videos will be soon, just trimming them down and putting in order.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - procta - 17-07-2015

looking good their fish! need to sort that bloody front bumper mind, as I think that spoils the front of the sadly.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - mr_fish - 14-06-2016

It's still about

Been in hibernation for nine months.

[Image: IMG_2030_zpszuwixsyz.jpg]

Video of it starting (the most boring cold start ever)



Time to get the boost plumbed back in, checked over and MOT'd.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Piggy - 14-06-2016

Haha...win.

Can't wait to see this wee beast again!


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Dum-Dum - 14-06-2016

Cool man, bringing it to Pugfest then?

Yeah aiming to. Needs a bit of tweaking first though.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - mr_fish - 20-06-2016

So put the 309 up on the ramp yesterday as I knew there was an area of rust to address around the rear bumper mount.

[Image: IMG_2059_zps7zlge9lq.jpg]

Due to having no arch liners all the mud and water gets flicked up into this area by the back wheel.

So got the rear bumper off and got poking around and found a hole

[Image: IMG_2063_zpsftztpsxz.jpg]

[Image: IMG_2061_zpsr7m0zw6i.jpg]

So dug off the old flaking underseal around the area

[Image: IMG_2068_zps1xmvsy3h.jpg]

Then had a look inside

[Image: IMG_2070_zps2rgdzb5j.jpg]

And chopped it out a bit

[Image: IMG_2072_zpsgstydjph.jpg]

Need to get in with a wire wheel or something to try and shine it up.

This is the other side which I'll address too

[Image: IMG_2069_zpsdzkxqwj8.jpg]

Also got this thing running underneath the back of the car...suspected tank breather?

[Image: IMG_2066_zpsz51gvei6.jpg]

The chassis runners and other metal under the underseal is solid, despite its looks, is there anything anyone can recommend to paint on it to prevent further rusting? I seem to remember Eddy C on Wheeler Dealers puts something on the metal before priming.

Also any better way of removing the underseal? I've got the majority off with a screwdriver/chisel where the moisture has got in behind has peeled off easily. Other areas its a bit more of a task. Was thinking wirewheel on a grinder?

Next is to make up a plate to sit over the hole and stitch it in

Awesome been looking at stuff to strip the stuff off the kingfisher this has saved me the job


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - mr_fish - 21-06-2016

Beam off

potentially thinking of dropping the tank now.

Probably wise if you're planning to keep the car - 309's were rusting out around the sides of the tank a decade ago, so it certainly warrants checking and cutting out rot or rustproofing as required.

So I did

[Image: BACD00C6-2AAC-4DC2-8D47-3B000DE6A88F_zpsg7fc06ps.jpg]

Looks worse than it is. Its all just the factory paint/underseal flaking off and leaving the metal exposed and going rust colour. Its all solid from going round with a screwdriver poking here and there.

[Image: D4B3E4FD-D5F9-4BE8-B38C-009B151D2A10_zpsdi6s1bvo.jpg]

O/S has been patched before and looks solid around that still.

[Image: 3E67D8FE-6A51-4E8A-83E8-5F4343E7D4BE_zpsqlcrfkef.jpg]

Just waiting for a set of wire wheel disc for the grinder to turn up and i'll have a hour going around it all and seeing whats what.

Will be good enough for what I want to do with it

Then time to break out the Transmig and plate some holes.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - powerandtorque - 23-06-2016

That doesn't look too bad at all to be honest - so long as the previous patch was done properly a quick clean up and rust proof should see that good for years ThumbsUp

Worth checking and replacing the brake lines that run over the tank as well whilst it's off - if they're original then they're probably distinctly worse for wear by now, and whilst I can't remember how bad 309's are in this regard, 205's are particularly prone for rusting out the brake lines just above the fuel tank where you can't easily see/inspect them.

Probably will replace the lines in all honesty. I have some copper pipe here to use so might as well.

Previous repair just wants 'scuffing' up and repainting/sealing.

Busy weekend if nothing else gets in the way.

Can relate to the 205 brake pipes, first car I had the brake line popped over the tank, Que a steady drive home...


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Eeyore - 23-06-2016

so you have the factory underseal... and it comes off just by taking a wire wheel to it? i will need to do mine at some point.

Will find out at the weekend...

Think that is what the chap with the Red Rallye Resto did.


RE: Peugeot 309 GRD Retro Bus - Poodle - 24-06-2016

It works alright, just make sure you're well covered as it will go EVRYWHAR and stick like shit.
