Looked like quite a good buy judging from the other thread - certainly I'll be interested to see this progress as I've quite a soft spot for 309's having owned a few GTi's and a Goodwood over the years.
Did you poke around the rear of the inner sill and around the fuel tank? That's where 309's typically rot and I've yet to see one that's not been atleast starting to go there sadly. They certainly seem to fair worse than a 205 of the same age and lots where scrapped because of that, although of course they're still very good compared to a typical Ford, Vauxhall etc of the same vintage!
