304 restoration
ive been thinking of buying a cheap peugeot 304 cabriolet and restoring it, i was just wondering how bigger and pricy job i could be getting into, ie, how much a new roof or getting the roof restored would be, any replies welcome here........
The mechanicals are basic and easy to work on, Dean Hunter www.peugeotparts.co.uk will have most of what you need in stock - at a price! Its good to make sure all the trim/chrome is complete and the hood frame is in good order, as these are hard to find. Panels for cabriolets are quite rare, but front wings are still on the LMC Hadrian catalogue. Your biggest challenge will be rust! Engines can be fragile but MK1 305 units I think go in quite well. Cost is a consideration, look at the price of a good one in the small ads first it might be cheaper to get one already done!!
