Subscribed, looks like it's going to be a good thread! Keep it up and what does engine bay look like? You got many problems mechanically?

Cheers guys, seems to be quite a lot of love for 309's so I'll be as regular as possible with updates.
It'll grab some updated pics this afternoon now that it's had its first wash and include some engine bay pics.
There's quite a lot to keep me busy, passenger door doesn't open at the mo so that'll be one of the first bits to fix.
I'm hoping my XSi sells quick so that I can get this in the garage to crack on with. I'm intending to get an MOT on it fairly quickly but until my XSi sells funds are limited. Does anyone know of someone who may be interested in my XSi?

I had one of these for 12 years, and covered 1TLC, , 000 miles in it. Great handling car without any mods. Mine leaked water also - the drain holes for the sunroof rust then the rubber hoses fall off. The rubber seal for the front windscreen also leaked, this was only £40 for the local windscreen place to change - no bonded windscreens to worry about.
Looks like a straight car , just needing some tlc

Spent a couple of hours this morning trying out my new wet vac on the carpet, nothing like breaking it in gently ey.
Here's before
And here's drivers side in progress. The water that I'm chucking away has gone from extreme mud bath to milky latte in consistency so still a little way to go yet

Looks like the wet vac did a good job considering how bad it was. Did you not jet wash it before the wet vac?

Always had a soft spot for these, a few friends of mine ll had these. Slightly slower than the 205 but much more stable.

certainly looks like it was left under a tree for a while. As long as it's not rusty it's all good.

Afternoon all, been busy all day again today, I have finally finished getting the carpet clean and up to scratch. It's taken me roughly 8 hours to get it to this level having cleaned it several times, there is still some staining behind the heel piece in the drivers side but after drowning it in vanish this is as good as it'll get, plus it'll be underneath some plush mats so I'm happy.
Some bright spark Frenchman had also decided to glue the sound deadening to the underside of the carpet too so that took a great deal of effort to remove every last piece of it
I'll probably get some of the interior plastics cleaned up this evening.
Still waiting for the XSi to go before I can get the 309 in the garage

Brand new steering wheel arrived in the post earlier
The chap I bought the car off also kindly gave me 4 brand new lights! Hugely pleased with that as those who know how much a pair cost me for my old AX will know (AX GT and 309 use the same ones)
And I've just spent the last hour taking apart and cleaning this piece of the dash/gear stick console. It was covered in muck and some minor mould! It's cleaned up just like new :-)
Hopefully have cleaned up some more interior pieces tomorrow
