I spent a week underneath my brothers Peugeot last night. The header is a work of art! (or madness)
(the extremely narrow passage in which to thread a clutch cable through is cock shite though)
Here's what they look like off the car (image via aussiefrogs)
I suppose there's worse things to stare at for 3 hours while jimmying and prying and forcing something through a tight passage.

There are also better things to look at as you put something in a tight passage.

Normally the ceiling for me. They don't tend to be too pretty.

The 306 and 106 GTis really don't get enough credit these days. They're still probably the only truly worthy successors to the 205 GTi Peugeot's ever made. The Rallyes, too.

it's a neat little car. My brother owned it less than a week before the clutch cable snapped so we never really got a chance to stretch its legs. Hopefully this isn't an ongoing trend with it.
We never got the 106's down here in Aus'.

I had a 1.8 mk1 306 as a first car and I had so much fun and learnt alot of car control in that car. That car surprised alot of bmw and Audi owners in the corners, I miss that car

Ah, that's a shame. Nineties Peugeots are generally pretty reliable, so it hopefully shouldn't give you too much more trouble.
I had - and still have, I suppose - a 106 as my first car, and it's a cracking little thing. Far more fun than any base model 1.1l has any right to be.

I can imagine the meeting that resulted in that shape:
Engineer 1: We can just route it through here- Oh, wait...
Engineer 2: No, we can do that. We just have to bend it and then- Uh oh..
Engineer 3: That could work though, just route it around the thing, and voila- Shit...
Engineer 4: Now we can just take it over the thing here, and then- Uuh...
All: Here you go, boss!

Yeah. When I'm cleaning my toilet, I'm usually staring at the Dilbert comic I hang on the wall.

knowing french union workers there it probably 3 months and two strikes to get it designed.
