One step closer to driving fun

crank shaft: refurbished or a new one?

[T16user]

It was within tolerance and that's about all the luck i have had with this car

Should be pretty straight forward from now on

[Steven]

straight forward.

Good luck! Loving it so far!

[T16user]

Yeah exactly like anything is straight forward with a T16

[T16user]

Good news from Poland!

Engine bay will be repainted again. The same goes for the front and rear suspension including drive shafts. Brembos will receive new seals. Engine preassembled and turns freely.

Sorry for the poor picture quality

[T16user]

A bonus as if there hasn't been enough surprises

[jurgen_s]

a crack or pieced?

[T16user]

Definately a small crack, guess I must have hit something. Makes me wonder for how long I drove the car with it. On the other hand it's a T16 and they don't usually make a lot of kilometers as they brake down all the time

a crack or pieced?

Finally I managed to find a heat protector, that goes behind the engine on the bulk head! Definately the hardest part to find so far in this project

Your thrift to complete this car keeps on surprising me! Loads of respect!

[T16user]

Well thank you Steven

Your thrift to complete this car keeps on surprising me! Loads of respect!

Here's another rare part that i picked up today, think will look great under the bonnet. Auxillary belt cover



Looks like this when fitted (pictures don't represent my car)

A little update after the holidays spent in Poland. I managed to arrange a meeting with my mechanic on the 24th, to discuss the progress being made. It seems as if some serious progress has been finally made! We're waiting for the gearbox, transferbox and things like AC compressor, generator and starter motor to return from soda blasting for final assembly.

I on the other hand have to place a small order from ATD Performance again

Kneel before the mother of all PSA engines



Steering rack overhauled together with driveshafts and calipers.


ABS pump assembled out of 3 units to make one.



My OCD wouldn't allow me to relax before I had one of these. I try to go the extra length to return the car to it's original state.
