finally some nice pics of this thing! =) ok, so i wanna hear how you smoked the euros. makes the whole bloody car look vicious! and i used to want to have my 505 painted black, but saw so many black 505s at ramsey that i didnt want it anymore - seeing yours has brought it back as an option to me. looks sooooo mean. (dunno how appropriate a "mean" look is to a wee lil xn6 car though...haha) also, just a thought i've always had regarding the exhaust tip - i think the thin rectangular tip(s) from a 93-96ish z28 would be a nice match to the 505's lines. i think pininfarina would have approved.

where are you located? try ramsey peugeot in nj 201-818-1129 last time i was there he had 2 turbo automatics sitting there, slowly being cannibalized for parts

awesome that car wound up in good hands, i had been emailing with Renata about it for a bit, trying to help her get the word out more about the car. did you get to see the stx automatic they have? and damn straight youre putting euros on that one - will make it so much more perfect

hmmm. i bet the window winders could be found in other cars - like our exterior door handles ive seen them on other european cars, i feel theres a good chance the manual window winders your GL has would have been used in other non-power window euro cars...pre-e30 bmws (i say pre e30 cuz i dunno if all e30s had power windows, but all the ones ive seen in person have) or maybe old benzes too

my uncle bought the eastwood set way back when it was a new item for them to carry - never heard him say anything but good things about it. and yup, he had a junkyard oven in his garage for it.

very cool mods, nice spotting andre and also, now i want those door sills. haha

welcome to the club man and good job saving a 505 from the crusher - old girl is grateful for the extra lease on life, im sure. take her round a bend at a slightly spirited speed, and you'll be able to hear her say "oh, if only you knew me years ago..." haha

sweet 6pot mustang - and are those japanese minilite knockoffs its riding on? very cool.

cool!

dude you're in DC? - i was just there the past couple weekends, with my 505 heh. where is embassy row? i went to 2 cars'n'coffee events in northern VA

"box of speed." I like that.

interior pics would be good, considering the usual interiors people have seen are blue or black/grey also, sheeeeeit. for 5grand, that turbo makes any 505 resto seem...well, even more expensive than it already is. its a damn steal.

heh - those "new" seats made me gasp, they look that good.

oh yeah. duh.

just saw it on reddit, thought i'd post it here (btw someone started a peugeot subreddit r/peugeot) http://movies.netflix.com/Movie/Spider/70141657?trkid=2702042#height1019 its called "Spider" if you dont have netflix but want to look for it elsewhere. oooo. here it is on youtube actually

whoa - dig the rims!! and in your center dash console, that peugeot "button" - does it do anything? does it light up? I feel like I need one. badly. it looks awesome. I'll trade ya one of my regular boring buttons. i have a fog light button i dont use haha also dig the new gauge within the stock cluster, i thought of that too, but i'd want to swap all of them, and i'd wanna keep the econoscope somehow heh also, interesting automatic shifter - from a newer pug retrofitted?

oh. wow. you had me at hello.

the french dominos sign - i love details like that cool car dude, and welcome to the sub-inner-old dashboard sti club-within 505turbo.com-club...club. hehe actually, now i think of it...you and norcal505 have similar looking 505s on the west coast, and me and "steve" have similar (bluish/silver) 505s here on the east coast edit- just realized theres an e30 in the background of your 2nd pic - norcal, this dude is you from an alternate dimension.

i actually came here today to post that turbo diesel. already ebay-msged the guy asking if he'd sell me the center taillight section haha. hey, its worth a shot. i still want a heckblende, badly!

why did MB do that?

my 505 has 4.11's?! hmph. forget BBS, i think i need some Cragars.

lil update - shes been tip top ever since. and yup shes got a GM alt on her right now - but if i come across a good deal on a new one, i'll replace it anyway

always a fun mod. makes pressing the throttle much more grin inducing

heh - i too have been mulling over the removal of the side strips...especially since one day, out of sheer boredom/stupidity, i gave the drivers side rear door's strip a light tug, and off it came hahaha. just have the 2 strips of adhesive tape still there, to be coaxed off at some point for the side parking light situation, i had 3 ideas, like rabins - shave em entirely - tho it bug me in some corner of my mind that there is extra wiring for those lights sitting within dark crevices of the car...maybe route them all the way to the trunk, to power a heckblende, like i dreamt about adding to the car before (this has a very slim chance of actually coming to fruition of course...) see how they look if the lights are taken out of the strips and just secured to the body - that pic of the 2door concept's front marker lights gives me hope that it could work. would have to look closer to see if its infact the same marker light. swap em with lights/housings from another car - super slick might be the very narrow pencil ones on i think its the acura tsx - i think they may look neat, fitting right into the 505's body crease line, being straight and narrow. maybe fill in/make flush the little body colored surround they have. this would also be part of a full body paint...which im not considering yet also, a part ive seen for 69 camaros, which is kinda neat (but i wouldnt put on my own, shes getting hers shaved completely, but maybe on the 505. maybe.) are these: https://www.anvilauto.com/product_detail.php?product=phantom_lens_69cam http://blogs.superchevy.com/6576430/chevy-news/69-camaro-or-chevelle-side-marker/index.html (a stock marker light looks like this - theyre the same front and back, except for the lens color): http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/30002-1969-chevy-camaro-z28-4.jpg)
