It's a engine with a character what I like. I now that the 3the bearing is a weak spot, seen some enigine blown at the 3 cilinder. Did some work this weekend, a bit of a personal touch, without disrupting it's originality. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/Afb0056.jpg http://i31.photob...

Indeed, it should have the MI16 engine. But some say the RFS is more reliable, I think it's also how you treat a car.

That’s really a nice 309. A pity that this one is not nearby, would love to drive this one. This one is also a nice one. http://www.peugeotgticlub.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3266" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; You meen holes in the side frames?

I saw a beautiful example (GTI16) for sale in the Netherlands and it was in pristine condition too. You mean a white one, this is a very nice car, I don’t really like the color, but it seems this one is in extreme good condition. The engine is a rfs from a 306GTI. This one is not really original an...

This was also rust on the inside of the frame, by the wheel arch and fuel tank. I removed the fuel tank to get some access to these spot. When I look on the internet, I see more 309’s with this kind of rust. Next week I let someone repaint the begin ad the rear arches. For the bumper fixings I did s...

I only had some rust on inside from the side frames by the fuel tank, I was wondering if the inside of these frames where also weak spot of the 309, but luckily it seems not. I welded a new plate in on both sides. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/P1110099.jpg http://i31.photobucket.co...

I meant the part on the picture below. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/5f70c10a.jpg I have found my leakage a while ago, and it’s coming from the tank filler cap. One person sprayed the car with a water hose and I was inside the car, so I could found the leakage. I have always a towe...

I own this car for more than 12 years now, and my attention is to keep it so for a while.

I meant the ‘poutre creuse’ translated in French, the place were you put the jacket under when you raplce a tire, hope you understand what I mean.

Do you have big plans for your 309?

You are quite right, every country has it’s on characteristics. And indeed the wafels tast very good. :super: A visit to Amsterdam is always nice, there are some interesting thing to see. Here in Holland the 205 is also more popular, I have owned a 205GTI 1.9, and it’s really a nice looking and hand...

I’ve bin a few times in France, it’s a very nice country with a beautiful nature. And some nice Peugeot’s. Paris is always a visit worth, I’ve been there with my 309GTI, the ride was great. The Eifel you don’t wane miss, the view is great. We also went to the Peugeot show room at the Champs-Élysées,...

thefunkyboy a écrit :Very nice car, it is even better with the badges

Those badges belongs to the car, and here, the badge GTI16 is becoming very rare, so I'm glad to have one.

Nice work you've done!!! Your car is almost new now! ;) c'est beau quand c'est propre :super: Thanks. I wish it was a new car, but there are cars that are in a worse condition. At the moment I’m happy with the results and I hope this will last for a while. The most of the rust is in corners and sha...

Some new picuters from the work on the backsite of the car. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/P4180237.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/P4220241.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/P4180240.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/309gti16/P4140222....

The meeting is due from July 13th to July 15th and will take place in Wuppertal (North West Germany between Dortmund and Düsseldorf). That's is not to far away from my place. Is it possible to come one day? The car has a new general periodic inspection received, in Holland we call it APK. :mrgreen:

When and where is this meeting from the Germans?
