hi there, i have a peugeot 309 on my drive which i bought a couple of years ago for £100 as a running 1.3 look, i ran it for a few months until the clutch gave up, at which point it became my VTS conversion project.
to begin with i had a good xsara VTS head from an engine which had suffered a broken conrod, a whole 1.8 VTR engine from which i intended to use the bottom end, and a set of dell'orto DHLA40Gs... after a bit of research i realised i was out of my league so i just bought a whole xsara VTS engine for £100.
the current situation is a 309 1.3 shell with engine, gearbox, subframe, suspension etc removed, a xsara VTS engine and gearbox with 205 1.6 diff, 309 diesel subframe, driveshafts, hubs etc, 309 goodwood struts, xsara VTS brakes.... now i could slap these parts together within a few hours but i know nothing about cooling systems and electronics so this is where i need help from the experts, as well as some idea of which components i should be fitting to the 309 before i go crazy with the nuts and bolts, and which standard 309 components i need to remove first.
