Peugeot 405 Mi16 (Modified/daily)

[calvinhorse 870]

I was getting dangerously close to completing my peugeot 309 when I was (sort of) offered another peugeot 405 mi16.. I arranged to collect the car from north Wales with my brother Allanallen.

 

My original intentions was to strip it and use the parts to mod my 1.6 gl 405 but when we arrived I fell in love with the Mi16 and was amazed how solid it is, all the usual 405 rust spots are in near perfect condition, the only downside is the paint is scratched on pretty much every panel!

 

Being the superior phase1 model the 'real mi16' she had to be saved..

 

The story goes the car was in storage for around 6 years, then later purchased and the engine was removed and sold along with a few other switches and bits and the wheels

 

Back home...

 

 

I cleaned all the interior and made a list of all the parts I needed to replace, nothing to difficult to get hold of but £££ added up!

I didn't need anymore mouse sh1t as the car had plenty of that!

 

 

 

 

Interior all in damn good condition, bit faded but no wear or damage.

 

Plan is to polish up a gti6 engine I have and rebuild the front and rear suspension..

Look forward to seeing progress on this

lovely, don't remember seeing many black 405's

 

shame the 6 manifold doesn't fit in the bay

[calvinhorse 870]

I've stripped and rebuilt the front suspension and completed the interior!

 

I'm really enjoying working on it!

[calvinhorse 870]

lovely, don't remember seeing many black 405's

 

shame the 6 manifold doesn't fit in the bay

It's not black it's green! Same as my phase 2

 

The manifold will fit

 

It will

[welshpug 1,626]

hahah, lol, Oberon Green?

 

indeed, that is the spirit, V6 "doesnt fit" because of the same reason

[calvinhorse 870]

Yes Oberon

 

I can't see the runners all being equal length when it's done but should be better than using the cast manifold.

They will be equal length!

 

Where does it foul anyway?

[jord294 87]

Is it something to do with manifold fouling steering rack?

[welshpug 1,626]

not the rack, the ARB.

[jord294 87]

not the rack, the ARB.

I see.

V6 conversion HAS been done already though.

[welshpug 1,626]

as has gti6 into 405

[calvinhorse 870]

Im planning on selling this car now, I have the correct wheels fitted but still needs an engine

 

I wanted to offer her for sale on here first, is anybody interested before I state a price and officially sell?

[estland 3]

update?

[calvinhorse 870]

Nothing for a while but will be doing a lot over winter

[boldy205 74]

V6 in that would be lush!

[calvinhorse 870]

Yes I keep thinking that

So cheap for 200+ bhp and torque
