Peugeot 604 Detailed Restoration - Pt.2

The old style crossmember has been replaced by the later one (HPC coated in black) and new type engine mounts fitted - a modification recommended by Peugeot technical bulletins.

The car has received a brand new original V6 engine. It is the low compression version, so I can use 91 octane unleaded petrol - the cheapest one available here in New Zealand.

Sitting on the engine, two original Solex carburettors - they are a few months old.

All wiring looms have been redone and are new. I managed to trace the original clips and contacts - although they are not the best. I have fitted 4 brand new headlights, and they have protective "skins" made of transparent foil.

Every single hose, bracket, clip, ducting, nut, bolt, manifold, screw, spacer, pipe, etc. has been either replaced by a new one, or polished, painted, coated - whatever applicable and most original. Every single part in the engine bay is now under one year of age, or has been remanufactured to new condition. The GMS (basically, a Tri-Matic) automatic gearbox has been reconditioned and a brand new torque converter has been fitted.
