Wow that looks a remarkably solid start point for a car that’s relatively rare these days. Real Festival of the Unexceptional entry ticket.. good luck with the restoration.
Nice!! I have one of two, I think, a UK Peugeot 104S 1982 1360cc. I have had mine since the early 90s. There is a good chance you might have a stuck valve, get some penetrating oil down the manifolds etc..
What beautifull little town car and it looks so simple and very French.🗼 I 've always loved Peugeots, we had many of them in Uganda in the 1970's and earlier.....203's, 403's, 404's,504's, 204's....very good and reliable vehicles. Its a good marque I would go for, especially the early ones like your 104.🐞
Great little car - so glad smell-o-vision never happened! My wife had a 104 parked up when we first got together in 91. She'd taken a 5 day intensive course and failed, but her grandfather bought the 104 for her as encouragement to try again (she eventually tried in the mid 90s and passed 2nd time in 97 - no 7.5 tonne lorries for her!). It was offered to me, but I couldn't afford the insurance, so it was sold on. You have a really good looking example - good luck working your magic on it!
😂😅 You are either a very brave man, or a little crazy 🤪 taking on a project like this ?. Nowever i wish you all the best, and happy 😊out come . Would be great to see this old future classic back on the roads again !!..
Wow,I must comment on your video,my mother had a Peugeot 104 , a blue S reg,it differed from yours by having black bumpers and larger oblong headlights, it was such a reliable car and great fun to drive with its 1124 cc engine,I often borrowed it, tyre places had great fun with the 3 stud wheels, rusty wings and sills killed it, I've many photos of it.
Nice lil' project- these were a sweet lil' car ! Some had heavy clutch pedals- 99% of the time cured by a new clutch cable- or by oiling up your old one lol...
I’m really looking forward to this… my first car was a 104 in lowly GR spec. I could see that website being right. Mechanics hated to work on them in my experience. Mine blew a head gasket, I was told they were prone to that. Trouble was the head of the suitcase engine was inclined towards the bulkhead, so it was an engine out job. Just to make things more fun it had to be dropped out the bottom… because French! I loved it. A little too nippy for it’s skinny tyres, and great solid bodywork. Good luck with it, can’t wait to see it progress!
I got my first car from our father many years ago, it was a Peugeot 104. It must have made a good impression because today I have a Citroen Visa and a C15 as hobby cars.
A classmate's mom had a blue one (German spec) well into the 2000s, it was an unusual survivor even then. I'd have loved to get a ride in it once but that never materialised, can't exactly claim I was friends with that classmate (TBH she later admitted she pretty much hated anyone in that class so it wasn't just me who didn't get along with her).
Nice! I saw this on Ebay and would have made a bid if I had the time/space/skills etc. Glad to see something a bit out of the ordinary getting some love. My family had a 104 GL and SL in the 80s, my first car in 1990 was an SL, followed by 6 Sambas. I think the 104 was seriously underrated and I am looking forward to see how the recommission goes. Incidentally, a place near me has a RH rear light lens for sale. Is one of the spark plug spanner clips broken? I'm sure I've got one somewhere. (New subscriber)
Well spotted, and the other one broke today as i tried clipping the tool back in :( I am going to need spares including the main link rod (bar) for the gear change...as its missing :(
On all Peugeot and Citroën cars produced after 1976 there is a number that will tell you exactly what day it was produced. It's purpose is to help you with finding the right parts for a car, given the tendency for manufacturers to change parts. The number makes it possible to identify exactly the parts that were being used on a given day. In the case of the 104 the number should be painted on the bodywork somewhere, most likely the engine bay. There are calculators online that will decode the number for you, although when inputing the number it may not be the entire number as printed. As for parts, the Peugeot Museum in Sochaux do still stock and retail spare parts for many of their older models.
My late dad had a 104 many moons ago he got rid of it for a Austin Maestro, the 104 was in red 3 door Y reg as I recall, he got rid of it early 1990s probably around 1992 .
That will make a lovely little car I'd love it. Best removing the spark plugs and putting a bit of diesel to aoak for a couple of day down each cylinder and they gently try to wind it over by hand with a socket.
In the 90s I had a Saab and it was involved in a accident and destroyed, I needed a car quick and on a small budget so I bought one of these for I think 300 quid. I drove some long distances and though not the most refined of cars, it kept going and was ok really. The engines in these used to be a bit noisy, but powerful enough for everyday use. I kept it for a few months and then bought an old 5 series BMW.. quite a difference. I think I gave the Peugeot away.
I've heard Peugeots were as strong as Mercedes and Volvos at the time. Was 104 robust and reliable like a Peugeot was supposed to be? Or was it delicate and could fall apart like a pack of cards?
Interesting project Alex! Also interesting to see that it is quite solid despite outside body panel rust. Like to see what the undercarriage looks like as well. Just in time for winter, and cold weather (ugh). Do you still have Nigel or has he moved on? And I wonder what you will name this Peugeot as you already have George the Allegro? Fingers crossed Alex!

Nice little project there Alex, some sterling work just cleaning and clearing the mess...look forward to seeing more of this, well done!
You have got yourself a really nice project mate I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on it.
Thanks mate 👍

looks a great project ,very original your hoover looks older than the car , look forward to seeing more of the car.
Thanks and well spotted. The vacuum is an Electrolux and from the mid 60's. Still going strong and use it weekly :)
Great to see it still in use.@@AllThingsAlex

What an awesome find! Looking forward to seeing more of it in the future.
Dang, what a little trooper. So much space too. The old Peugeot emblems are so nice.
Amazing find what a lovely little car, my mother had an A reg Samba in the 80s
Thankyou! Just hope I can get it running once again.
Nice lil' project- these were a sweet lil' car !
Some had heavy clutch pedals- 99% of the time cured by a new clutch cable- or by oiling up your old one lol...
Now that's a gorgeous thing.
Glad this has gone to a good home, if you can get it running again it will be well worth it as these drive lovely. Such a rare survivor! :)
What a cute little car. love it.
the interior looks fantastic without those horrible seat covers.
Who doesn’t like a French hot hatch? Looking forward to seeing this progress.
Not a bad old car at all - amazing that it's survived so well - and the same age as me!
Ah yes! I saw this advertised! Good buy!!!
Lovely little car, looking forward to seeing more of it.
I really want to see this little gem running.. (Phil)
I’ll look forward to all of the updates on this one Alex, I enjoy your videos 👍
Brilliant! Let us know if you need any more mice and we'll bring you some. No charge.
Ha thanks!
Look forward to seeing the progress you make. 😎
I used to work on 104's when I was an apprentice in the 1970's. Peugeot made some very advanced cars then.
Phyllis the Peugeot! 😊
I've gone with this as its name :)

Hopefully I can free it off. Hoping not to have to remove it!
That’d be much handier… they’re great little cars. Very comfortable!
So you have 3 car's now Alex 👍
I got my first car from our father many years ago, it was a Peugeot 104. It must have made a good impression because today I have a Citroen Visa and a C15 as hobby cars.
Very nice! Wow :)

Welll spotted. Its an Electrolux from the mid 60s and still going strong!.

Thats amazing knowledge, thank you! Yes I did spot a number stamped on the front panel under the bonnet. Cheers!.
It's a GL. Goes Lovely.
My late dad had a 104 many moons ago he got rid of it for a Austin Maestro, the 104 was in red 3 door Y reg as I recall, he got rid of it early 1990s probably around 1992 .

Exactly what I intend to do :)

Don't know the early Renualt 5 (72 to 84) key barrel grommets will fit.
Thanks I'll be looking into that :)
Interesting project Alex!
Also interesting to see that it is quite solid despite outside body panel rust. Like to see what the undercarriage looks like as well. Just in time for winter, and cold weather (ugh).
Do you still have Nigel or has he moved on? And I wonder what you will name this Peugeot as you already have George the Allegro?
Fingers crossed Alex!
Will be doing some prodding underneath next time. The Rover 600 didnt do it for me. Too modern and was a bit dull. I need something to tinker on!
@@AllThingsAlex I understand! Sorry to see Nigel go, but looking forward to what the Peugeot will bring!
The year I was born haha
I have p104 👍
