phworrrrrrr

[carltonx]

very nice not herd of the goodwood is it a special edition

[welshpug]

yup, its basically a top spec gti (bar a/c), all 800 made in Roland Garros Green, half 3 door half 5 door.

Full black leather, PAS, Sunroof, 128 bhp 1.9 gti, Anthracite grey alloy wheels with polished lip, three Goodwood badges, silver trim stripe instead of the usual gti red.

They came with an optional free Momo wooden steering wheel and gearknob with matching Goodwood gti centre badge.

they were all built in late 91 to early 92, however many were registered into early 1993 hence none of them having a CAT.

there's around a hundred or so left, CVC being a Coventry reg its likely to have been a staff members car or a demonstrator in its early life.

I might know a thing or two about them, I did have one for a few years

[TopJobHobNob]

was an ex demo car. then the people who owned before me bought it when it was about 6 months old, and have had it ever since. my dad used to work on it as well! been sat up for the last 8 years.

[carltonx]

will you be keeping it standerd ?

[TopJobHobNob]

yeah reasonably. i'm on a budget as i've got 2 other projects. so this is how i'm dealing with upcoming issues;
badly corroded wheels=swap for another set till i can afford the refurb
de lacquered roof= vinyl rap graphite grey
non working fog lights= tint yellow and leave unplugged.
i'm going to leave the engine standard untill it goes wrong, then i'll just do a bit of head work. no MI16 here!
at some stage i'll beef up the suspension and breaks.

[gernster]

its still on the list of cars I need to own this one!

[trigger]

I love these, top bombing sir!

[TopJobHobNob]

On the front I have robbed the calipers and carriers off a citroen xsara as it has bigger discs and calipers.

Nice to see another 309 get some love rather than being broken as a 205 upgrade package!

[bnptrs]

This is awesome, and I agree with the above, good to see one being saved rather than used for 205 bits (apparently these are a better drive than the 205 too!)

[TopJobHobNob]

Well, it's xmas, and i was gonna do the little bit of metal work, and take the engine apart, as it has a SEVERE oil consumption problem. (1 liter a week, which is about 250 miles.)
Any way, started poking and OH NO!














DRAT!

So this is what i did today, the O/S/F splash panel.


The splash panel has a swage, but i just managed to squeeze the rep panel on the edge.


You can see how much has gone.


made up a panel, i'll do the top bit seperately for ease.


welded it from the back so it'll look nicer when its done.

[welshpug]

good work, if those wings just unbolted then its definitely had some work before, as they were originally well stuck on with nearly 3/4 inch thick seam sealant in places!!

[TopJobHobNob]

yeah, it had all the front smashed in in late 93. have the invoice. and the letter of complaint a month later from the owner due to it failing for headlamp aim!
This is why i think it's bad. not done correctly. (although to be fair, has sort of lasted 20 years.)

[choaky]

Oh dear that's not pretty Elliot, good to see your cracking on tho (now that shonky looking mk3 escort is out of you way ;-)) merry Christmas mate.

[pugmyster]

Gonna stop you there bud..
Its not roland gaross green its pinewood green.
Sorry if iam being a bit predantic but if you needed to paint it and got gaross green your match would be miles out
I have the code for correct paint if you need it.
PS iam a lover of 309s had loads inc goodwood turbo.
