Reviving my Dad's Abandoned Peugeot 205

A 1991 1.1L Peugeot 205 that has been standing for over 6 years. The plan was to build a rally car out of it at some point with a Mi16 engine and a Dimma widebody kit. While that won’t happen anytime soon, i decided this car should get a refresh and it should be driven on some gravel roads. Working on this car i saw some interesting french engineering solutions. Doing the timing belt I really liked the flywheel, camshaft locking solution, the tensioner not so much. Driving this car was really enjoyable, I didn’t expect it to be such a fun car. I am working on a new video, but it will take a while until everything’s done You can support the channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/Benasven Timestamps: 00:00 - 1991 Peugeot 205 04:00 - Maintenance 13:10 - Fixing the brakes 20:10 - CV Axle replacement 24:50 - Fixing the brakes 32:40 - Timing Belt replacement 39:30 - More brakes and rust 44:30 - An attempt to bleed the brakes 47:00 - Cleanup 48:20 - Deep cleaning the car 53:10 - New brake caliper 54:20 - Replacing the leaking radiator 59:20 - Cleaning the interior 1:06:40 - Paint correction 1:14:50 - Troubleshooting 1:19:50 - Cleanup 1:22:10 - Painting the bumpers 1:25:00 - More Troubleshooting 1:30:50 - Driving Sub count: 12,500
