Agree with what has been said above - this is one of the great project threads and inspired me to do mine. WRT the sound deadening under the bonnet, mine was tatty and full of salt so I deleted it with no adverse effects. As mine's a Rallye it went with the lightweight ethos. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

Hello chaps, I still have my 6.It is due a bit of TLC to be honest, I got an advisory at the last MOT on brake pipes, a bit of play on the steering rack and a stiff load valve. Also, I have a snapped front spring which happened whilst Mrs Tea was taking the nipper to school. In typical Tea Boy style I have decided that the only course of action is a full suspension re build. To that end I have been collecting a few bits. I have got; A Xsara VTS axle with 21mm bars which I will rebuild and fit A new load valve. Bilstein B4s Xsara p1 steering rack (new tie rods, ends gators etc) BBM solid beam mounts. and loads of ather small bits and pieces which I can't remember, and loads more on order from Peugeot. As Welshy says, I am still fannying about with the oil tank for my Porsche, so I haven't started on it yet. I do need to get the torsion bars out of the beam soon so I can get them and the Xsara front springs off to the powder coaters, then I can at least get the thing back on the road. I'll keep you informed when I do get started ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

Apparently acetone and ATF (in a 50/50 mix IIRC) makes a great penetrating/releasing fluid. Mix it up and paint it on or get some in a Windowlene style bottle and spray it. May not keep well in a plastic bottle though! I'm going to make some up at some point, just to try it out. |
