[Peugeot-L] 1981 505s td shocks

Once again this group has come to the rescue. Thank you so much. It gives me a warm feeling inside to know that owning a Peugeot in the wild west is possible. I mean, crap think about the implications of what the Internet has done for us. Ten years ago, I would have been up against a wall with a simple thing like this. In fact I have always owned odd foreign cars, I know what the attitude at large was in the beginning (of the Internet); Figure it out yourself, I did. If you were not a computer geek and auto enthusiast like me back then you no doubt find this hard to believe, but it is true for the most part. This sharing of information is a totally awesome development of a civilized world. You have bestowed a new hope in me. Thank you all. Brian Rodgers
