norcal505 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 1983 Peugeot 505 STI. Claret on Tan. Built May 1983, taken delivery in July 1983. Fully Optioned - BA7/5 5-speed Manual Transmission, XN6 Naturally Aspirated. I grew up with this car, and I couldn't have wanted anything else. Never seen a car with more character than this. I hope to keep this for as long as possible, and original as possible. Then, and now. seems that bmw's take quite a liking to this peugeot. Here's a short list of what I have done. 15" STI Mags Bosch Pilot Fogs Fully Reuphoulstered Interior 84+ Grille 3rd Brake Light Clarion fm/am/cd/ipod deck (2x) 10" JL Woofers Koni Shocks & Struts Sport Front Spoiler European Headlights with 3000K HIDs 140 mp/h Speedometer Obligatory Parisian Plates Peugeot Talbot-Sport Livery Decals New Windshields Fresh Clutch What I have planned. Complete Rust & Dent Removal (Not too Serious) Complete Re-spray in Claret Rouge Mettalique Carpet Re-dye New Headliner Dash Crack-Repair (ultimately dashmat removal) Amber Fog Lenses Bumper Re-Dye European Side Trim New Front & Rear Speakers Instrument Panel Restoration Wheel Refinish in Silver with Noir Accent Replace Sunroof Motor Light Window Tint (All Around) Full Exhaust Walk-through New Keys (Match Locks & Ignition) New Pedals Slight Lowering; Front & Rear New Rain-Gutter Trim More as I go.

norcal505 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 *UPDATE* 11/16 Well there are quite a few issues currently with the car. -I will be getting a full tune up within the next couple of weeks. -The passenger door panel is off, as I had to fix the exterior door handle. One question.-how do I remove the interior door pull? Mine snapped, now I have one on the way from Miles, so I will need to know how I can remove/install . Also, the insturment cluster is toast. I have one on order from Western Hemispheres as well -Will order a new set of floormats from Jesse Dubarr hopefully soon. -I am setting a goal of getting the Eurolights installed before(or during) winter. Really need that extra vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 well this is what the car looked like as of last month. wired up my entire sound system in sept. as well. Pics of that to follow. also got my hands on a nice EOS Rebel DSLR so a nice shoot will be in the future.... haha, for all of you who think a Xn6 cannot make it over 80 dug up some old history... also, was planning on installing the european lights w. the nice H4's this weekend, but I have a race up in Sac, and next week I'm down in Newport beach. They will for sure be in before winter comes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal505 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thought I'd revisit this. and then right now, hopefully in June or July, I will have finished the bodywork, pass. side fog light, a turbo front air dam if i find one, and added my european lights once and for all.

Hey Ron! So are the last few pics all the most recent ones after your miss-happ with the rack unit and the curb incident? If so the car looks great!

norcal505 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 IDK if some of you guys know, but while I was on the East Coast back in Mid-June, someone came and slashed my rear pass. side tire. It happened again last week, and someone came and wrote profanities on my windshield with an oil-based chemical. With that said, I fixed a few things here and there, and mocked up my Turbo Valence with my stock valence *finally* off. Anyone know how to mount it properly?
