Hilbert's Car Museum, '93 Peugeot 306 XR, '05 Twongi 🌸

Several people owned it for just a short period of time, which tells me they were just private people who buy shit cars, fix them quickly and cheaply, and then sell them for profit. However at this point, that Peugeot is barely worth anything at all.

If it did have the service booklet, it’d be worth around 1500 to 2000€ (in working condition)

But since the only documented maintenances are those which I am doing now, it’s worth around 650 to 1150€ (in working condition)

So, since I have no proof of the timing belt ever being changed on the Pug, I decided to do it myself! As it turns out, the timing belt, water pump, and the pulley are all practically brand new! God bless America!

That’s the old belt. However I decided to change it anyway because why not. While at it, I noticed that the alternator belt is in pretty shitfuck condition.

So I also changed that! Unfortunately, the whole thing was pretty fucking annoying so I tried to distract myself from it. It worked out well, as I noticed that my side indicator isn’t attached to anything at all.

So errrr… I glued that back on. Here’s a picture of a turn signal.

The previous owner has fucked up the rear bumper.

That was fixed with zip ties.

Now, for some odd fucking reason, the Peugeot sounds like a fucking tractor!

The end :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Haha the Peugeot has turned into, uh… Fuckgeot? I don’t know. I had an above average pun with the Opel.

Right?

Anyway, the situation is fuck.

Edit:

Because the situation is fuck and I don’t like googling “used engines for cheap”, I shall now drink wine.

Here’s a picture of a dirty wine glass with a Yangwoo in the background.

Thank you.

Now it is!

Changed alternator belt. The old one was whining like hell.

Peugeot on the other hand isn’t functional. I presume the entire engine is fucked.

Aren’t you concerned that someone might decide to steal another hubcap, as it did happen earlier?

Oh also…good job on fixing Reno and keep us updated

Hehe

No.

Shifted into gear, car goes crunch, now the clutch pedal won’t come back up, it’s stuck at the bottom. Won’t get into gear. Hopefully just a broken clutch wire.

I’m looking at my Twingo and it is boring :potted_plant: :pensive::pensive::pensive:

So I did a thing :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Now he is happy :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hehe :innocent:

On an unrelated note, the clutch cable wasn’t the biggest issue. I also need a new clutch pedal and the transmission internals need to be replaced, yay

So! I took the transmission out and the view wasn’t beautiful.

I washed the transmission, next I’ll have to replace the pressure plate etc. Other than that the transmission should be fine.

Ordered a new clutch kit, it was around 70€, quite inexpensive of you ask me. My friend got the same set for his Corolla and it was nearing 200 euros with all sorts of discounts.

Isn’t it just the cutest :pleading_face::pleading_face::pleading_face:
