Project 6' (Ph1 Cossack)

[gretsch-drummer]

Bit of work on the drivers seat yesterday:





Stitched the hole on the side and found some black wax stuff for shoes i think but just rubbed it on and buffed it off a few times:




Also sorted that hole by cutting and sticking a piece of alcantara within the hole making it level but no picture.

Also stuck on my rear badges finally!:



Also ordered a new clutch cable from Peugeot for Wednesday so will be fitting that next weekend.

[Tom]

So jealous

[craigyt]

Didnt know you had this andy, i love it! Ph1 all the way!

You keeping both?

[gretsch-drummer]

Yeah keeping both for now. Insured on a limited mileage policy at 3k miles so it's a 'weekend car'. Plus I didn't want to cancel my 1.6 insurance and lose a NCB.

[craigyt]

Love it, very tidy car! Im just not a fan of cyclones on a ph1, the look too rounded!

[Matt]

Looks sweet mate! Great attention to detail there! Very jealous, underside looks mint!

[gretsch-drummer]

Yeah, lazers suit ph1s better but just going to keep this how it rolled out the factory.

Also going to be Bilt Hamber'ing the whole underneath today, good few coats of UB spray.

[craigyt]

Yeah wish id have left the lazers on mine when i had it, still regret selling mine!

Howd you get on at uni was it? Dint you change courses or sumat?

I'll allow you to sell the S1 for a Ph1 and ooonly a Ph1.

(ermm, well finished music uni, went to work at a body/spray shop for 6 month. Now work for Royal Mail driving like a div collecting mail...)

[craigyt]

I would be aswel as the S1!!

[gretsch-drummer]

All set for the weekend:

Clutch cable and gearbox oil. Should be spot on after:

[RetroPug]

Genuine gearbox oil made a huge difference to mine, even though the oil in the box was only 6 months old.
I've been meaning to get a cable as well.

[gretsch-drummer]

Had a bit done at the weekend by Chris at 'Carwurx': gearbox oil changed, rear tyres swapped for Toyo R1r's and just this morning had www.puredents.co.uk (Leeds based) out to sort the boot dent:

Sh1t on a blanket springs to mind:


Before:


After:


Will be getting quotes for pass' door to get sprayed and order a couple more R1rs for the front in the next couple weeks.

[Niall]

How much did the clutch cable cost you mate?

Car is looking fantastic. Very almost bought a cossack PH1 when i had my 1.8. Really wish i had of done

[gretsch-drummer]

Cable was £50 from Peugeot. I was expecting it to be around £80, was a nice surprise for a change.

[gretsch-drummer]

Well had a bit done in the past month or so:

New wishbones, droplinks and tracking done (so that's every suspension part changed since new):


Had a spare door resprayed on the cheap so ended up wet sanding and buffing it:


During:


After:


Also had a C5 steelloy and carrier powdercoated so will be getting a tyre fitted at the weekend for the spare:


But most important of all, my rev counter and oil level/pressure gauge has sprung into life as if by magic:


Another 306 that fixes itself. So now it's used as my daily and it's spot on.



Next I just need to get the dent guy out again to sort a few more little dings on the door and wings.

[ozonehostile]

Perfect <3

[Matt-Rallye]

so much love for this! think i need too wet sand and G3 the S16 seeing this!

[Piggy]

just...porn.

[RetroPug]

I wish my rev counter and oil pressure gauge would come back!

[gretsch-drummer]

Have faith Retro. Have Faith.

Just one morning I turned the ignition on and the oil level needle twitched and I thought "Aaaaayyy up, what's going on here then?!" then BOOM, fully working gauges.

[RetroPug]

My oil level does work curiously...ah well.
