306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum

Here iv bought a 205 stdt it was advertised as non running as someone had drilled his fuel tank and he had sold a few bits and pices off it. He wanted £250 but after abit of the chatting and me fixing his laptop i got it for £100 lol. Once i got it home i thought id see if i could get it started so after abit of wiring and my mates battery it started straight away first turn of the key. What a smile i had.

so the work began i removed the tank and cleaned out the garage ready for it to be stored ready for some more work.

so far iv bought
â?¢ new springs and shocks
â?¢ new tank
â?¢ new black dash
â?¢ new headlights and indicators
â?¢ new rear lights
â?¢ red carpet.
â?¢ complete set of new arches
â?¢ complete interior

im hoping to fit the 306 dt engine and get it looking alot fresher with the gti interior and gubbins. anyway a few pics











And the space I have to work in









all comments welcome and the dodgy wiring isnt staying it was just to get it firing

The next phase after I got it started was to remove the tank with holes in leaving me with this.





I also removed ALL the interior.



And I got a couple of stubborn bolts.

.

The garage with all the scrap.



After doing some poking in the engine bay I found this behind the headlights.







And thatâ??s where I am so far. Iv been quoted £100 for the welding. Iâ??ve also removed the driveshafts and drained all the fluids aswell.

I also bought some underbody seal today ready for when the weldings done i can start painting.

Not sure what colour to do it yet iv been contemplating with matte white with gloss black gti trim and the red line going through. It will be done in the garage so donâ??t really want to gohave to laquer so thatâ??s why im going matte.

C+C welcome.

Nice project, I have a 205 sat in the barn that i really should sort out, that was also £100

As for colours, you can still have gloss without lacquer! just use 2k paint and a good mask

cheers mark. what 205 you got. i had a 1.9 gti a few years back i used to love it and it made a beautiful sound when revving

Its a Miami blue 1.9 gti

the best colour aswell. im trying to get the full running gear from a 1.9 but people want silly money. Id rather pay little and refurb it all myself lol

It is indeed, the plan is to sort it for MOT and then sell it in spring sometime unless insurance is cheap as feck on it and then I might consider keeping it (don't tell the mrs........)

While you are on with swapping things around you want to get the lower arms off a 309 GTi, give you some nice camber on the front as they are slightly wider than the 205 ones

i know yeah its whichever comes to hand first really as i want to get this ready for FCS but i only get 1 day a week to work on it if im lucky lol

the handling difference when combined with uprated shocks is amazing, not so good for the front tyres but who worries about that anyway...........

exhaust removed today but also fitted my mates DAB radio and 2 new fronnt hubs on his pug as his balljoint holes had ovalled.

hopefully have the engine out tomorow.

also bought some 1.9 calipers aswell just need some new hubs, arb and arms

dan you need any bits as there is 2 205s in a scrappy i go to.

well engine and subframe were removed today so gonna get it on the back of the trailer then take to to my folks house to jet wash the engine bay and clean it up ready for welding then paint.






sorry for the crap phone pics

procta - what 205's are they as im after some 1.9 gti hubs or 1.1 as i think there the same and also need a set of driveshafts for a 1.9 gti

sadly they are not gtis, they could be petrols like id have to ask. let me know if any other petrol 205 would do as i can price em.

ok i think the 1.1 hubs are the same ill find out and let you know

thanks for the offer procta..

Sunday im picking up some 309 hubs and some 1.9 shafts. Gonna see about swapping the diff from my stdt box to the 1.9td box save changing the inner cups. will try and get some pics this weekend

not a bother pal, as i know some of these old cars now are little hard to find in scrappies, like i say if anything you need and your unable to get hold of where you are, i dont mind having a pop down and seeing if the 205s that are in have what you need.

Cheers pal. Theres 2 diesels in the one by me. Theres also a red metro 1.1 if u need anything lol

next is tidy the garage properly then strip the xud7 of all sensors and useful parts then scrap it and picking up the engine stand on wednesday ready to strip the xud9 and give it a quick rebuild i.e head gasket, painting, cambelt, tensioners and maybe my cheeky gov modded bosch and t25

thats all c+c welcome.

Like the project mate. There's a few 205's in the scrappy near me so shout me if you need any bits.

And yea gov modded bosch + t25 = WIN!

looking good dan! how soon will that be installed?

hopefully a month or so if not sooner depends how long it will take me to paint. dont get a day of now till next sunday and even then im driving to r=wrexhame to pick up and auto bonnet and a set of alloys aswell

Will be keeping a close eye on this project, love 205s with a passion. Lovely cars!

Wrexham? Thats where I am, are you going to the breakers or private seller?

private seller mate be down in the ol' ldv cub lol.

Ill be back down there on saturday or sunday so Ill have a look and take some pics.

excellent mate thanks for that

UPDATE TIME:

well i never made it to wrexham due to a text message from the seller saying that his dad had scrapped the bonnet anyways silver lining, i went and picked up an engine stand and went up the garage

XUD7 is now bare iv removed the alternator, turbo, starter, clutch and gearbox and sensors ready for the XUD9. Ill be fitting the xud9 gearbox though as the rev range is pretty shit with xud7 box. checked today and the stdt shafts actually fit the xud9 box get in

will get pics tomorow as the engine isnt on the stand yet due to not having long enough bolts, thought the gearbox ones would work but there too short.

UPDATE:

right no actual work done on this lol as this weekend i went and bought jj0063's sigma so had to do a little bit of work on that, but a plus side iv also bought a set of speedlines of egay and also decided im gonna run the 1.9 dt flywheel, mi16 clutch with the dt box. should be interesting
