[Peugeot-L] 1981 505s TD Upgrade for a car enthusiast

Hello Puggie people.
1981 505s TD Upgrade for a car enthusiast I have no idea how I managed to collect these kooky cars. In my early days I was a fatory trained VW mechanic. So I always liked German cars. I have also had a fondness for Italian cars too. I restored a fiat 850 Spider or at I think it was a Spider, any way it has an 850 cc air cooled rear mounted engine, in a convertible I was in heaven as VDubs were also rear exclusively engined in those days. I feel in love with Italian body styles. Heck even VW had the Carmin Ghia.
I have two Bavarias, same year no title on either, or I would sell the one I put all the parts into. I traded for the first one from a lawyer but the title I got was for a different car, can you believe that? Freakin Lawyers! The Bavarias have dual water cooled Weber Carburetors. I always wished that car had a five speed tranny. Anyway with the hassles with the title I lost interest in the BMW. The 250 Mercedes is an odd ball too. It also has dual carbs on a straight six. Not nearly as cool as the Beamer but I have the title. I had a German shop owner rebuild the head on the 250 at great expense. The car never ran right after that. I should have let it smoke, at least it ran.
Everything I own requires more time than I am willing to give to upkeep. Except for my new Puggie. I love this car. If you think I have odd taste in cars what do you think the average Joe who comes to a ranch in New Mexico thinks when they see my collection of "Yard Art?"

If I had a few bucks to work with I would buy a newer Peugeot diesel than the 1981 505s TD. It needs some work for sure.

This reminds me, I never asked this group what their favorite late model Diesel Peugeot is?
I mean if I was to get a loan to buy a good car and I want only diesel engine what would I buy?

P.S. When a friend saw my tag list of cars he added a few of his, starting out with running cars ending with pogo stick, carpet, broom. Hehe Brian Rodgers
