Mine is.

I've got some speedlines I could be persuaded to part with..

Perhaps send me a photo/price in mind...


Anyways....


Hub back an all done, now back on  four wheels.

Got keen for a test fit



Few issues to be addressed, brake line quite tight, boost pipe close to servo, (and the main one) exhaust down pipe needs to be remade 



Also was planning on fitted the HDi box, but what's the crack if I remove the selector arm? I seem to recall hearing somewhere the shaft will drop into the box? Or is that a myth?





(Ignore the grubbiness of the 2nd box, previous owner didn't have time to clean it for me )

I'd love to know about 4 port master cylinders as the one on my 106 is only a tiny 19mm.

The fast 106/saxo came with a 20.6mm but i'd like bigger still.




Oh and having reminded myself what I wanted to look at today. 4601K1 is the part number you want Fiat Scudo, Ulyseese, Peugeot 806, Expert, Citroen Synergy, dispatch etc. Anyway it's 23.8mm and off a NON ABS veh with 4 ports

What do you want to know dum? Mines off a 2.0 406 non abs and is a 23mm one

No its not a myth MrFish. You need to keep your shaft up (ooo eerrr missus) when you knock the pin out. It can be sorted if it drops in its just fiddley. Will be a lot easier with the box out the car.

If it does drop, just look at the photo you've taken, drop the shaft in a bit and lift it up in the position in the photo. If that makes sense.

If not diff out and you can push it back up there

So had a go...



and got the job sorted. Cheers to Uber and Paul for their comments on the matter.



Gearbox washed off (better than it was), new driveshaft seals, cable drive setup, new thrust bearing sleeve, fresh fork bushes, reverse switch swapped and converted to pull clutch.

Frosty popped round and buzz'd off the crank pulleys on both engines so I could bolt up the aux setup from the 1.9NAD onto the new lump.

Also helped get the box back on



Gearbox done now, need to trim bit off the back of the turbo, replace the cam cover seal and decide on water piping.



Safe to say the old man is off his head that his new shed has been taken over

I wish I had that shed! Looks like an amazing place to work!

Mr fish you don't hang about!

New shed...

Loving this mark, is there much to change with the wiring loom?

See you in the week chap. Can't wait for this to be on the road

yes!

so much win!
I missed this!

You going to make FCS? (vulture time...what are the 206 bumpers like!)

Will be Epic once it's done. Love a nice 309

Waiting on parts but in the mean time called upon a fully qualified spanner monkey to make up a new brake line for me.  .

Also spent majority of yesterday evening amongst driveshafts, CV Grease and circlips.

Loom is uber basic, you can see it in the second photo on this page, hanging over the passengers side. Rev counter plug is different but I'll have a fiddle when the engine is back in.

Think I may have sussed a different route now, but will keep you informed. Need twin beacons for that van of yours as that will be the south west support vehicle.

Hopefully. If not I'll take Frosty's DT for him

206 bumpers are OK. Can get photos if you so wish. Front is a sport one. The rear isn't though.

Thanks. hopefully get some time this week and actually get it back together.

Get it done!

Find me some beacons Mr fish and ill put them on ?

I'll chuck up an update to this.

It went to FCS, I know its no show piece but was using the show date as a deadline to have it on the road, out the shed etc. Few people interested in the relic which is nice.

So...studs in the turbo



'ring' to bolt and weld to.



A little close to the M/C - need to re route a brake line



Myself and Frosty had fun and games with the N/S driveshaft one evening, evolved into a complete hybrid



But now it fits



Empty bay…splodged some paint over the front side bits and where the battery sat



Fresh radiator finally arrived so engine in on mounts and offered up – ignore the small cooler



Enough gap to run the cooler pipes



Original brakes vs. DT 266s




Piping shiz up and catching the bumper on




Downpipe in progress



And bolted up



Then lack of photos but basically got it together and fired up. Few test laps of the field and down the industrial estate.

Only wheels I had at the time to hand



Looks out of place but got to combe without an issue



And got back without a hitch too



So treated it to an oil and filter change



Been driving it since the weekend each day and drives rather well for an old nail. Got two track rod ends and a wheel bearing to do at the weekend.

Good to see it made it. Nothing like a last minute build!

Looks weird seeing a photo of myself welding, but not in my normal farming clothes lol!

I thought this was a good car at fcs. Definitely had the wtf factor to it.

This is looking better and better.

Was good to see you make FCS mate.

Seems pretty standard for me most years.

Was a bit of a spare of the moment 'fancy fabricating a downpipe please '

cheers bash, you get the odd look when driving it

(10-06-2015, 09:49 PM)THE_Liam Wrote: [ -> ]This is looking better and better.

Getting there, that O/S wing lets it down unfortunately. Will look at sorting that soon.

Thanks Chris, hope you got home ok.


Going to pull the hub off tonight as the bearing has slight play in it. Plus got a brand new one that came with the car. Also got two TREs so will probably get those fitted too.

Apart from that, just sort my gauges out and mounted properly, look at the lower engine mount and sort the rear section of exhaust. 

Got lots of potential this car, lots of room in the engine bay, love a 309 and getting rarer all the time

Fair play for getting it all done in time fish. On the drive up to FCS i couldn't stop laugh each time i saw you. The 309 looks so out of place going up the M5 but in a good way

Loving this project :-) My mates just bought a 309 as it was cheaper than getting his beemer thru the mot. We've already been on the motorway loaded up with tools and it's getting to have a proper retro feel to it! £310 quid and it went straight thru an MOT with no advisories He had a Zest in the same colour as yours some years back, so reliable as a work-horse and did it shift some stuff!
Nice to see another one saved AND having extra grin factor

Cheers Paul!

Had an MOT at the weekend so pulled the front hub off to do the wheel bearing and took it with me...

Helpful Mr Frost as ever.



Also had two new TREs so fitted those. Just need it tracked up now.

Took the rear drum off one side as the rear brakes aren't doing too much. cleaned up but the wheel cylinder is stuck it seems so probabably fit some new ones.

Only thing though is the wheel register on the drum has had some heavy handed spanner gorilla attack it and is fairly chipped away. So basically new drum needed.

Anyone know if a 306 drum would fit? I don't mind if the back plate and brake shoe setup is needed as I probably have access to it.


Few pictures popped up on faceache, saved for the hell of it.





Shame about the bumper but I do have another to swap to at some point.

looks a cracking little sleeper! how does it move compared to the 206?
