Peugeot 306 HDI D TURBO

Was meant to update this back along, but forgot!

So Anton bought it down for a new exhaust, but after getting underneath it found quite a few more issues than just that...After doing very little poking, the below issue was discovered:






So decided some immediate action was required as the rot was in a seriously bad state just here....So started out but cutting out just about everything left of the chassis member, and also up a fair way into one of the wheel archs (both sides are gone):





Then got to work plating / welding it all up, stronger / thicker than factory as ever:






And splash of primer, paint and then underseal:






Also noticed the brake lines were in a dangerously bad state, so replaced them from the front of the tank back...The lines literally broke into 4-5 pieces as I removed them, they were so rotton I have no idea how they hadn't already failed!




And also lasting fitted a new 2.5" all stainless winpipe:



Car now back with Anton in a better mood than when it arrived!
