Peugeot 309 HDi 16v

So to update, I ‘welded’ a patch in where there was daylight and then applied liberal amounts of POR15 both top and bottom side. Also painted majority of the underside in it as well.



Lashed together a couple bumper mounts out of the spare metal box, that’ll do the job, and put them in place.



While tank was off I checked the strainer which all seemed good.



Couple new bits of fuel pipe



Genuine handbrake cables



Cankered up wheel cylinders, which were both seized, so got replaced, tight ass pagid don’t give you the 10mm securing bolts. Shoes were very good (probably from not doing too much).



Ran new brake pipe from in front the tank to the cylinders



Used an old style gunson eezibleed kit (as there was no fluid in the system) actually pretty good to use and made bleeding the system a piece of cake.

Dropped it down on some wheels and went for a test.



Such retro…



Got one of the GRD’s optional extra’s back functioning again



Took it for MOT. Frosty feeling privileged here behind the wheel of a previous car that was sold from his workplace.



Then it went to Pugfest and up the hill at nigh on full WOT

And it drove home again fine.

Been using it daily for a bit, then the temp insurance ran out so its parked up awaiting being stripped apart.
