Yesterday was me and the mrs 17 years anniversary and we was both working. Tonight however we shared a bottle of something cheap but effective and watched two very clever chaps with plans that were cunning yet effective rescue a loverly old french car. The mrs was impressed with your dedication to the safety's for Mrs D too. Honestly 😂 how many 17 year wedding anniversaries are spent watching a 305 get roadworthy but not restored..i dont think many. I think your phrase "its not perfect but..." is a great guide to our marriage too 😂😂😂😅 Thanks guys
Well its quite a task- that sure is a shed of a car. I think you should sweep up the rust and put it in a matchbox and take that instead. Nah! give the old gal one last road trip! - Al, Fudge, Miss Puggly 😃😃😍😍😎😎
Great video as always. We had a version of those hetra lifts in our garage. They were brilliant, we had enough of them that enabled us to could pick up a tractor unit and trailer together, put the lot on high lift axle stands, take them away to the other side of the garage and lift something else, as you basically said less ramps needed. Fantastic invention.
Cheers from the USA, I've got a 1987 w126 mercedes with an om603 (I dont think this combo was available in Europe, at least to start with) wish i had a mechanic like you gents around me, finding people to help maintain my Merc has been an absolute chore.
It's getting there, I bought many years ago a farmers cast off, he had a Mini van left in the field & got it back on the road, bit of welding & an engine & gox change & ran it for a few years & it didn't owe me a penny, sold it but now wished i'd have kept it now the prices have gone sky high
Great video , Al, Fudgy , it’s like re visiting my past , back in the late 70’s I was doing welding in my service station workshop all the time . I bought a Boramig (new) for £750 ! Yes they were dear when the first came out , and it paid for itself in a month if I remember correctly . Of course I’m a lot older than you two , in my day it wasn’t law to weld all the way round a plate just an inch here and there 😂 I couldn’t do it now my knees are gone ! . Keep up the good work 👍🏻
These are far better repairs than any done in the 80’s and 90’s. I was expecting some road signs cut up and held in place with silicone, rivets and prayers 😜
Good Morning Al and Fudgy. Another Lovely Project you have Al and Fudgy. The Peugeot 305. Body work does not look to bad, little bit of Welding, Fabrication, some tidying up of the spots of rust. You did very Well Al with the repairing and plating up of the floorpan, very Impressive Sir. Lovely to see the Brakes and pipes being Restored and made Safe. I am really looking forward to see the next video of this Lovely Rare Beauty. REmoving those Old vehicle Lifts and Installing the new one, should be really Good and Help the runnings of 6D Diesels Al. Your video's are always a real Joy and nice to see some real TLC and getting these Amasing vehicles back on the road. Very Well to You Al and Fudgy. This channel is just getting more and more Better and the Camera work with the Excellent and very Professional Time Lapsing is very, very Good. Thank you very much for Sharing your Professional video Al and Fudgy. Jonathan.
You’re definitely going to have to film Mrs Diesel’s no doubt thrilled reaction to her first seat in her new chariot 🤣 - another entertaining Sunday video lol, cheers fellas 👍🏻
Hi guys! I’m a big follower of your page and have now got myself booked in for festival of the unexceptionable on July 27th, would love to come and say hello to you guys! I’m going to bring my Old Ford Cortina! I’ve learnt a lot from your page on techniques on doing things! So if you guys have someone called Darren turn up and say hello, I’m not a weirdo! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Al. I had the van version of that but was interested in that that one has 3 studs and mine was 4 stud. It appears they changed 82ish. Mine was an 85 from memory. It was so rough my missus dubbed it "The Minger".
it is nice to watch a video that i can relate to real life mechanic at work not some collage newbie who if computer does not tell them how to fix it they are clue less
To be fair most people would of scraped it years ago but the welding is better then I've seen pass a mot over the years .I've seen some shocking welding done on vehicles I've worked on over the last 25 years and you have only did it for a car show but you are the best vehicle repair on utube nothing but honesty and both of you are very experience in wat you do but always a good laugh as well 👍
Hi ya al and fudgey.The line, good little peugeot cracked me up.love the videos,always look forward to them,other car stuff just seems abit generic,and i am not even a mechanic etc,but love watching you,time just floats away,cheers again from rainy yorkshire 😊
Guys amazing what a treat on fathers day I've had amazing day with family now sat with a drink watching you guys . It's amazing with some of the french stuff how in working order it is after so many years of abandonment . I know cosmetically they are challenged and would not win a beauty contest on Tin worm but still you have to be amazed. One more thing your intro music what is it called . My misses when she gets it in her head can't stop humming it so thought as a treat for the duchess I would try it out as my ring tone . It would make her day . All the best Mark and Emily at Rooster Recovery
There's nothing wrong with your nothing wrong with your restoration what you're doing to the Peugeot is absolutely perfect and you're making a Rubik's good job ignore what other people say in the comments it is perfect in everywhere shape or form I think you are a bullet mechanic on what you are what you say is absolutely correcting above board I say exactly the same myself I watch your channel for a good few months now and I enjoy watching your content of what you put on your mechanic can set your mechanics your mechanicans skills are brilliant and I've learned a lot of techniques off here watching your watching your contents I have just started my own RU-vid channel up classical bikes thank thank you very much Al for your content your sincerely Mr lawrenceon
Fantastic agricultural style car restoration. A man after my own heart!😂 There is nothing wrong with hitting the 'lowest price ' button on fleabay! 💰 Can't believe how easy those drums came off after all those years 😲
Your patching up the Pug is better than some ‘restorations’ I have seen. Nothing wrong with keeping an old banger safe on the road this way, you are doing a proper job.
@@6DDIESELSDorset Ain't that the truth, speaking of which can I pop over end of next week for a couple of bits for my sprinter. I took on a dry stone wall in Coniston last week and lost. Ive dropped you an email cheers mate.
I like your style on the economics of the budget restoring. Quite right too and nothing whatsoever wrong with what you have done by using a lifetime experience to know what will be adequate without spending a fortune on a lost cause. Good enough is good enough.!
This week's episode of 6Ddiesels is brought to you by Bodget & Scarper body work-ish . This is the sort of bodywork I remember being fine work in the 1980s , infact I think this is top quality compared to some repairs I have witnessed 😆 🤣 😂
Al, at least your taking the time and effort to get her back on the road in the most economical way which makes the most sense. Another enjoyable video pal.
Looked forward to this next Peugeot vid of fixing. Great stuff. Congratulations on reaching 20k. The whole planet should tune in for some hazzaring, sniffery, brucie-ing, treasuring, fixing anything with some clever detective work, tea and the rustle of the roll up packets. Huzzah!
Mrs H I think driving the Kangooli would be the best vehicle to go in, you could be back up vehicle. Al it might get there, but you will still need to drive back, I think that's could be the down fall of this cunning plan.😅
Loving the attention to only doing what is absolutely necessary to make it road worthy! No brainer on the starter motor Al, £35 = no time wasted on the existing one. Mr Fudge not entirely sold on your work programme for the 305?
The car is too far gone economically but it's what you call structurally and road worthy sound but still looking like a turd What could be better on a Sunday watching my favourite duo on RU-vid another great video as always al and fudgy 👍
Ah he was off out and about yesterday, and I’d say get a medium speck mig, gassed is always better and some sheet metal and practice basically. I was welding car up at 14-15 👍
Al are the wheels on the hedge pug 13 inch? If they are my work has some wheel trims that we r never ever going to use if u would be interested? I have booked my ticket for the festival of the unexeptional and hope to c u there
Living proof that if you spend enough time and effort into 'restoring' a banger you might be able to convince an MOT inspector at 500yds. Still, if Al intends to put his precious wife on the passenger seat I'm certain it will be safe if (definitely) not pretty.
Had me wondering for a moment why you only took three nuts out per wheel, then I noticed that much like a 2CV, they use 3-stud wheels, all you need really... :P
Dear Al , how about an update for your eco warrior mission , have those A-holes done anything about the issues next to your parents home ? , hope they have
