Hey guys, my name's Hayden and I'm from the small town of Northcliffe in Western Australia. I own a 1957 Peugeot 403, here she is.

I'm gona restore this one and then get another one and do it up rat(or maybe custom) style :D

I know a French car is a bit out of place on a forum with mostly American cars but its good to have something different I guess, besides, I know I'l end up with something american one day, theres a few Customlines I've got my eye on :) .

Another project I have is a sort of paddock basher, I'm collecting old bits of cars and trucks from my uncles farm and building one good one out of them, so far I've got a strait 6 flathead engine out of an old international truck, found a good chassis and some truck wheels for the back. Basically all the parts will be more than 50 years old, this is going to be fun :D

Something different is always good, don't be scared to think differently from the rest of the flock.

I love your Peugeot, I can picture her with a new coat of paint, lowered an inch, maybe two, some small chrome hubcaps to cover the stud bolt erea of the rims.
A 253 with a tricked up trimatic with a quiet exhaust, a quick sleeper.

Cheers, Wazza.

Thanks, I've got a couple of different sets of hubcaps for her, I'l lower it if I can
(its got a weird suspension set up on the front) it should be lower at the back but its got the axle out of a 404 so it sits higher, I was thinking a flathead ford for power coz there really isn't much space under the bonnet, the standard engine is a 1.5 litre hemi :D

We'll see what happens, I've got to find an other 403 first. (I can't really rod this one as its got quite a history in various car clubs and mechanically its perfect, just needs some minor rust repairs)

Thanks

Hayden
