The bought not built estate

[Frosty]

Its about time i got round to sorting a project thread so here it is. As some of you have probably seen a couple of weekends ago me and Mark made the trip to Southampton to pick up a certain estate off Jonny. Im sure it will always be called Jonny's estate but now its in my ownership and i hope to carry on the work Jonny has put in to this.

So anyway Mark helped me out big time by driving his truck and trailer so we could pick it up



We got it back and is down my work while i do some bits to it



And a pic of my 2 Derv machines




The plan is to make it into more of a daily (plans can change) so have all the interior back in and seats etc. Power wise im not really sure, the gt20 will of course be staying on and poss look into getting it mapped to the turbo though i haven't driven it yet so i dunno what it is like. Suspension im not sure on but i will see how it rides and go from there as i do drive on some lovely farm roads. I will be putting it back to power steering though.

So i made a list of bits i want to do and started buying bits and searching around. I got a complete hdi engine off Dangti6 so i got all the aux set up so i can put the power steering back on. Also got various bits off Mark off the estate that he was breaking and some other bits off Jimbo off the hdi he was breaking. Oh and a few bits from the scrap 306s my boss has, so i have been doing a bit of car part shopping. The estate is a good place to store the bits




I think i have pretty much got everything i need now. I have put the interior back in now apart from the rear seats and have changed all the door cars back to the leather pattern





Thats about as much as i have done now. This weekend i plan to do the clutch and put the power steering back in. My plan is to drop the complete engine out as it will back life a lot easier to do it all. So i will report back on how i get on over the weekend. 1 thing i have do ready is press and genuine Peugeot bottom engine mount in turned 90 deg as it currently has a poerflex which is ripped and a bit to harsh anyway i think



Plenty more to come so watch this space
