Well, I got some new hose for the screenwashers and that is now sorted.I also got some new clips for the doorcards as they have been rattling. When I had the driver's doorcard off I noticed that one of the pop rivets which hold the window regulator on had sheared off, so I fixed that with an m6 nut & bolt. Whilst the door was in bits I also thought it would be an opportune time to fit the 3 phase rub strips which I have had for about three years.  Now that looks crap, so I replaced the one on the wing and the rear quarter too.  I still have the other side to do.  A job for tomorrow, assuming the sun is out. I still need to do something about the bonnet sound pad, does anyone have a picture of a phase three one installed that you could post up? ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

Looking good, maybe you should sort your side badges they are back to front :-) ________________________________________ 1998 Supercharged White Rallye1992 205 GTi6 205 Turbo 340bhp |

It's a while since I've seen this, so just re-read it again  still one of my favourite project threads!I think Pug_306 is referring to your near side badges where the 6 is sat in front of the GTi badge' needs swapping round  Keep up the good work Tea! ________________________________________ Almost standard 1999 Bianca RallyeHilux InvincibleX daily 306 No.13  Carp and specialist Anglers Click here |

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 |

Thanks for the positive thoughts chaps.I stuck the other side rub strips on, badges are going to stay where they are, I like the symmetry.  Could do with some new ones though, all the silver has worn off. I am going out for a drive in it now. ________________________________________ Make tea, not war.If it ain't broke......fix it until it is. |

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. |
