Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
I checked it again yesterday and the diesel had run through on all 4 cylinders but it is still stuck solid. I gave it another dousing for now. Once I can get it back in the workshop I can strip the bottom end and try and remove the pistons one at a time. Headgaskets are available but I can probably reuse this one depending on if it has any damage when I lifted the head. All the other gaskets aren't available but are easy enough to make.

There is/was a firm in Keighley who make gaskets based on your old ones. They do a lot of obsolete ones for old cars.

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
Right the old Peugeot got dragged into the workshop last week to drop the sump and see if it would free off. Answer is yes all 4 pistons came out after a fashion and not so much as a broken ring. However it was going to start getting expensive so when I got a half decent offer for it I sold the fucker (lost about 400 quid on it but I suspect it would of been a much bigger loss if I carried on). So now I think I will turn this thread into a sort of fleet thread (or at least some of the shit I buy that isn't going to hang around long.)
First up I really wasn't going to buy this as it was up for 4800 euro but the car dealer round the corner from me is coming in on it and we are going halves. It will stand us in just under 5 grand I think it is a bit risky but he did say he will buy me out if I want so we will see. The only problem is we are both a bit on the portly side and god knows if we will even fit in it as it has a full cage. All paid for and coming over from France next week sometime. The delivery guy is delivering 2 cars to France and has a spare space coming back so I am toying with the idea of a super rare Renault 25 estate

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
It is a Belgian conversion by a company called EBS. Doing a bit of research it is just a replacement tailgate as the whole back lifts up on the original hinges. I might see if he will sell just the tailgate then stick it on a turbo

Re: I seem to of done something stupid yet again
Cheers...that's a big chunk of tailgate! Shows how graceful the original was, though, in masking the length of the rear wings.

That Fiat looks lovely. Is it as quick as it makes out to be?
