I don't know why but this car, the tiny steel wheels, the colour, the dent and the eager wee exhaust pipe, it all makes me grin like mad. What a great little thing. Well bought.

It's such a cheery thing that even looking at it from a long way gives my a worm feeling in my emotions hutch.

It could only be improved by being yellow really.

See, I like having to tap the fuel gauge like that. Makes it easy to pretend that I'm in a battle-scarred B24 attempting to reach Blighty on a wing and a prayer, rather than in an underpowered 306 about to attempt a hill on the A30 near Exeter.

I never like seeing these middle nuts exposed (or any nuts exposed if I'm not expecting it) and I remembered I had some PSA centres lying around somewhere.

Umm. They look like they've been spermed upon by the goblin of uncertain times. 

I gave them a good clean with off brand Fairy Liquid and elbow grease but that made 0% improvement. 

 

So I went to Wickes for some Plastikote.

Wickes, as you can see, was closed. 

So I went to Halfords.

I've seen people paint things on the internet with this shit. Therefore, it will probably do.

Wrong marque but who the fuckknuckle cares. It's PSA which is close enough. 

 

Slight improvement in the old glamour department.

Don't be daft Man. Thanks for doing three! Only leaves me one to do, but I'll probably just leave it for the character.

Too fat, or flat?

Fat.  And tall.  Should be 155s I think?

Next up for small improvement is the interior. As @davehedgehog31 advised, the stitching had EXPLOD on the rear seat base.

So I did exactly what anybody's Nana would do and I threw a Tartan blanket over it.

I'd say that counts as about a 25% completed camper conversion.

Don't bodyshame my tyres you facist. They're perfect the way they are. 

I think they were van spec tyres that P.O. sourced cheaply. 

They ride lovely and grip well so I'm in no hurry to change them.

Ah I'm probably thinking of C1s. What's a C2 doing with a Peugeot badge on it?

Feck knows.  It was defo a C2 and not a C1 or 106.  It was behind me for about 3 miles.

Cracking little car. I must own a 205 again some day

I also thought you'd obtained a Spanish VW Caddy van lookalike.

I do give off a bit of a POUND SHOP VOLKSWAGEN vibe I know. And my visage is very much that of a man that drives a van.

'Obesity in the 21st Century'

An original by Jim Bell. 

With special thanks to STINCA and car park designed by Emmental.

Those beams are reputedly mega bad structurally as in a fire they warp and pull the structure down. We had the exact same (but painted blue) in my 6th form common room in the early 00's and I clearly recall my late father commenting on them.

Top bombing though, the StInca looks a beaut. What is the status of footwell coverings plz?

 Current status: one covered, one exposed. Awaiting eBay delivery to even up the footwells.
