Never let it be said that PHers lack commitment. The original poster of this Peugeot 505, Veeayt, not only drove 400 miles to see his father's old car once more, he even endured a court battle to gain access to it!
Amazingly the car didn't require all that much work to get it running again, though there are far more ambitious plans afoot for this project than a simple restoration. With re-registration finally complete, Veeayt can set about changing the diesel for - you've guessed it - a big eight-cylinder engine.
This week the thread has been updated with details of the Mercedes engine, BMW gearbox and Quaife diff that are on the way for the Peugeot, though it's worth getting familiar with the past couple of years on the preceding pages. It's a great story and a fantastically exciting project - we can't wait to hear more!
Congratulations Veeayt, your Peugeot 505 is our Reader's Car of the Week. Read the full thread here.
