Restoring a Peugeot 405 Mi16x4 1990: I have made a series of videos of the progress to youtube, so I won´t be going into detail here but here is summary of the story so far: When I bought the car in 2010 it developed a loud whining noise right away.

I fixed those and a few other little ones while I was at it and got the car back on the road. That didn´t last long however as the rear differential started leaking oil. I took the rear suspension off the car and restored it. The rear part of the car also had quite a bit of rust that was taken care of. The underside was painted and the rear suspension installed.
