Peugeot 405 Retro Wintercar..

[Tmcilvar]

To get the ball rolling, I used to own a Citroen xantia, sold it to buy this one off item A 1992 peugeot 405 straight diesel "style" edition with 100k on the clock and has a gti steering wheel and gti wheels (factory extra?), and im currently the second owner from new.. The rarity that I found was that, the car seems to be rust repellent! Underneath the boot floor, nothing just caked on mud which scrapped off just shows you body sealer, chassis legs, sills nothing. So anyway £220 later and shes home! I bought the car in mid april planning on dropping the nad and replacing it with a td da8 engine, but time and money didn't allow so the car sat in my shed until now where I want to finish it and have it on the road before christmas.. Anyway pictures, I currently drive a phase 1 diablo red dturbo which I bought on my placement in southern england but it needs a few bits of tlc so planning on fixing it through the winter and driving the 405.

When I bought her;


Then started stripping;


And how it currently sits in my shed;


And my daily (*Awaits hate on how low and shit looking it is*);


Collecting the xantia engine, (just for lolz);



Any who, the plans in my head so far are, keep the standard wheels, fit the DHX xantia engine with inlet mani and nearly new valeo clutch (WIN) I bought for £60, 11mm bosch and td04, yes I know not really breaking any new records but should hopefully be 180bhp which should upset quite a few people!

Thanks, any opinons or suggestions?
