The condition of it is really depressing - but of course it still runs after 14 years! Happy to see an old Peugeot enthusiast relatively close to where I live as well!

These old Peugeots are absolutely indestructible ... except for the rust ... oh the rust ...

This is fantastic! I rescued my first and only Peugeot which is a 104 back in 2014. It still needs to be restored now. There's a few videos it on my channel. I'd love to see these 505s one day!

First cold start you guys have done in ages!!! Bring on the cold starts!!

Awesome find and I’ve seen some of them in Argentina of all places. My dads niece had one of those it looked like it was ready to be scrapped but it ran like a charm every time I saw the car

I love 505s. My Dad had an estate metallic blue in 1990...lovely cars. Nice rumble.

Good show lads. Thanks for showing the 505 some love. One of the handsomest saloons ever made.

My ears pricked-up when you said "spark plugs". I thought you guys were allergic to petrol! Please don't forget about this project, it shows a lot of promise.

"It was immaculate" my arse! You took a huge gamble firing that up with a 14-16 yo timing belt.

lovely car this the 505! such a pleasure to see the old girl back to life after so many years out of use. I can't believe the engine runs so smooth after such a treatment.... Peugeot don't make them like these any more. It's a shame. Take good care of these 2 ladies. Warm greetings from France

First car I owned was a '86 505 S. Stupid reliable car. Even more amazing considnering it was in the U.S. and haven't seen one since.

HI! Nice car to be saved!! A friend of mine has had two 505, one GTI, like yours, and a Fuel Injection imported from Florida, lether, climate, automatic transmission, big bumpers... Awesome model this 505 gti!!!

Watching this has been the most satisfying 17 minutes of my life

I really like that 'few hours later' transition from light to dark :)

Good job lads. engine sounded lovely even after all those yeas. headlights nice n bright too.

its like a birth of a child :D almost cryed 😢

Wow what a champ, whole body is falling apart but the engine still runs

Great video - glad to see these 505's getting some love. Next door neighbour of mine had a Y-plate 505 estate which he had for absolute decades until he scrapped it.

Come up on recommendation page, glad I watched, subscribed!

it has an amazing sound for 14 years of silence :D loved it

My first car was a 79 505 Automatic, 2 litre but the OHV engine. I loved it, thought it was the best car in the world. I learned mechanics from it, there wasn't much I didn't know about the 505 at the time. I eventually converted it to a manual after the Auto died, I remember you have to unbolt the diff from the chassis, as the prop shaft is enclosed in a torque tube which you have to lever back to be able to disconnect the prop from the back of the box. I did a fantastic job with that conversion but sadly, never really drove the car after that as I moved to a Ford and eventually scrapped the 505 to a 504/505 dealer. Still great memories and lovely to watch this video. ps, your starting problems were due to stale fuel.

I had a 505 as my first car-handed down from my mom.I named it Pepe Lepew because it was a stinky diesel.Great car;first love is always the deepest.....

Great job, as a mechanic this is the kind of stuff i like to see om youtube!!

Incredible. Great video. Amazing that the car ran after all that time. Love the Hilux too!

Fantastic video! Those 505s are a nice looking car

I swear I've had two of these 505's, an they are the easiest car to work on!!!! Just beautiful!!

Nice ! We don't see many of theese running, even here in France

Dang what some bright lights for something tht has been sitting for 14 years!

My aren't you a lucky chap.Two identical 505's,reminds of an old American saying "If it weren't for bad luck,i'd have no luck at all" Good luck

You're very good at what you do :) fair play to you mate I haven't seen one of these since my dad owned one in the late 90s, back then it was a rust bucket but we do get alot of rain in south wales!

all ways good to see whot you boys are up to and agine your doing it fantastic...

Brilliant vid, good luck with re build.

Wow! So cool. I live is Georgia USA and when i was 20yrs old I found a one owner 1981 505 TD sedan 5spd manual. Creme with olive green interior. The car had 130k miles and had just had $3600 of work done to it including a new head. The cars power steering gave up and the atty owner decided he was DONE maintaining the car. I picked it up for $250 and welded the pulley back on the crankshaft. It had come off. So I fixed it for free and drove it 4 yrs before I sold it for $1800. It was awesome! Pretty quick with a strong turbo. It had no options. Manual Windows, locks etc. so nothing to break! I loved that the center cap of the steering wheel where the horn SHOULD be came off to reveal a secret hiding place. I kept my weed there. I would pay $5000 for that car if I knew it was still going. I sold it in 2000. Enjoy fixing yours! Please video anything you do with your pugs!

Awesome vid guys :) I could watch these kinda vids all day long. Shame we didn't get to see the donuts lol!

Youve got quite a selection of good cars! cheers

she is alive!

IT'S ALIIIIVE!!! holy crap, that was such a surprise

That 306 LOOKS AWESOME

10:52 I waiting for this moment so much :):D ,I like moments like this when a car starts in this moment when nobody believe that the car is still alive ,and it will start ))) nice sweet video ,atleast for me

Spot on lads get both restored you know you want too

Nothing like bringing a vehicle back to life!

thats amazin, sounds good 2 considering its been sat all dose years, nice1

Unbeliveable...good job,

I can't believe you ran this engine before removing the spark plugs and putting some oil inside the cylinders and replacing the oil first. You ran it and probably ruined it. Well done!

Brilliant! those 505's are great reliable cars. Rust was the biggest issue, same problems as Renaults have. see a few around in Northern Africa, where it doesn't rain as much

cool to see that one is getting fixed up and sad to see the other one like that but it will give some parts to fix yours at least. by the way Hot Wheels made a 1/64 scale model of the 505 usually in a orangish colour might not be the same year I am not sure but I think it is a 505 from the 80's

Dude. Your a fuckin gangster. Old pugs really were pretty good. A guy i work with has a 1992 Peugeot diesel van. The thing just won't die. We had to weld some rusty patches up on the chassis and replace the drivers seat and the wiring loom is a mess with patches and bypasses. It had a few suspension parts from one that sat in warehouse after being totaled in the rear for 10 years and a clutch. Its just a wreck, but it refuses to die. 412,000 miles! How do you get that Hillux through an MOT smoking like that? Awesome. I love Jap 4x4's.

good job guys reviving the legendary 505 is a great job . I was raised looking at this beautiful car

Amazing to find a twin of the other car and all the spares you need except the bonnet which is trying very hard to return to the iron ore it came from, do not think i have seen a bonnet that bad!

Damn that's cool. Proper car. :)

cant wait to see it working

Very cool and enjoyable video!

awesome videos

Fantastic old moto.

Excellent job! There was a 505 V6 released that gave 170bhp 2.8i wonder how many of them are still alive.

Hi , just subbed..i wish you well with your project and will be keeping a close eye. I always loved this particular model in their day..ive had 2 x 504s, a 305 (1.9d) which i bought locally and ended up with 350,000 on original eng., a 205 and a 406 and on my 2nd 307 (1.6 hdi)..

nice work mate

Cold start videos are very popular!

Great video!

How can anybody abandon a car like this ? I mean, a 505 GTI ???

just a tip from experience dont use ezyvstart to often they get addicted to it and wont start without it the creg sounded sweet once she gout going, good luck mate had three of these 2 diesels and a rare petrol estate they run for ever.

That GRL is beautiful

Peugeot are actually pretty reliable. I drive a Peugeot 807 from year 2004, it's still running strong, not a speck of rust on the body at all!

Mainly the bonnet has the most rust blow off those rust chips and the rest still looks solid

Sounds good!

Tip: If you are using an external mic on your DSLR, go to audio settings and enable manual audio level, drop it right down and increase gain on the external mic. It will get rid of the hiss.

love this channel

The Peugeot 505 is a great Algerian and we still use it in 2019

i have a 505, im in Australia so mine is pretty much rust free apart from some around the battery area (from the battery), the wheel arch on the left rear and the door chrome bits. iv got the SR model which comes with a carby 2.0 4 cylinder and some crappy steel wheels and i dont get that cool gti spoiler like on yours... mine is a 5 speed manual too.

Totally underrated these old 505's, GTI was a great car, nicer to drive and nicer handling than equivalent age 5 series.

amazing! i love videos like this ba k from the dead !

Jammy sod,like winning the lottto m8 have fun..jealous lol

Old pugs never die

How cool is that :)

Thanks for the video, it was usefull for me, coz I want to take out grandpa´s classic Škdoa after years. ;) Any advices? I like this car very much, it has great design and awesome sound. I it´s unbelievable, that it´s still running. :)

So either that woman lived RIGHT on the coast or 14 years ago someone parked it on the wrong side of the sea wall and the tide came in. Only problem is every time it gets damp the salt comes back to life and resumes eating the car. Good find for all the missing parts though. Good luck with it, there aint many left. This week, i ha been mostly collecting Peugeots!

j'ai possédé en marque Peugeot..... Une 104 Z...Une 205....trois 306...deux 206... Une 207.... deux Rcz.... Aujourd'hui ma troisième Rcz...Une R....j'adore les Peugeot....

you got it running, it looks like it just might pass its MOT

Hi darren u still got these stored away would love to see what u do with them i think i must have watched all ur videos over this lockdown cheers craig

Did you have to unseize the wheels? Im suprised they turned as well as they appear to when you are towing it off the trailer

Truly magical. Any updates?

Brilliant

Is the hilux an off road machine or did you get by an MOT with the stack mounted exhaust?
