When I say bodge I'm talking about a fused ignition live with a suitably sized cable but yes it was to be expected (you should see the fuel line I made lol)

I'm shocked too but I know exactly what I'm building next and its gonna be even faster than this. That said this aint going till after I've had a few months to enjoy it to the full. As I've said before I was deadly serious with my resolution to own less cars this year and I don't do failure.

Ill see you Sunday or Monday depending on my fuel situation.

[Dum-Dum]

So here's my failed first start attempt where it caught then died.

Cheers mate, I'm gonna do a bit of investigation to see if i can work out whats not working first but then yes it'll probably have to be a switched (and relayed live)

Well played mate. To be honest I saw this getting scrapped halfway through. Fair play to you sir.

Cheers dude. It will be for sale in the autumn

So today I was going to finish my car but my best mate came round and took me to the pub so I've kinda half done the fuel pump wiring and thats it.

So the latest snagging list
Finish lift pump wiring, switch and relay done but needs running to pump and a fuse
Find out why boost gauge wiring aint working
Tighten up a boost hose jubilee clip
Fit Exhaust and invent an exhaust clamp from crap in the garage
Make fogs yellow
Refit front splitter without twist ties
Refit bumper
Find a TRE nut that fits
Tighten up some suspension bolts
Refit wheels

[puglove]

Minor !!!

[Jonny81191]

*yawn*

Get it finished already!

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah just realised its gonna rain tomorrow so I might go do the exhaust, boost pipe and bumper now. Really CBA mind

[Jonny81191]

CBA? feck that. Go and do it.

[cwspellowe]

CBA? feck that. Go and do it.

What he needs is a big tarp, a stick and a Carl to tie it all up

I would but its looking like I dont have enough diesel to do it and I dont have the money. TBH having got a nut on it I think I could do with a new track rod end. Off to ebay I go

Exhaust clamp is EPIC

   

[Jonny81191]

In keeping with the rest of the gasless welded and generally bodged exhaust then

[Alee83]

This man is a genius...!

There is some trolling to be had with a diesel cabby, imagine the shock of people at petrol stations who know anything about the 306 when they see you filling up with diesel

Am I the only one that doesn't pay attention to which pump somebody is holding ?

Surely those sort of people wouldn't know that Peugeot never made a diesel version of the cab though.

Only person who might notice is the bloke in Shell but as I hardly drive anymore it's probably about a month since I went for fuel.
