Well picked up this rather lovely Rallye on september 10th 2011.




I'm sure by now you all know the history to the car but for those of you who don't....



it's one of the ex-Peugeot press cars from 98/99.

So plans were to

Repear small amount of rust in rear arch
Xsara washer jets
rear beam mounts
wash, rinse, polish, repeat
CD player
Rallye Decals (front has gone pink)
Rallye Matts from eBay
the gear knob (looks a little tatty)
Powdercoated inlet
strut brace (upper & maybe a lower)

picked up a nice little pioneer head unit for the old girl



After the cleaning session I popped into halfrauds and got a touch up pen set & some brushes.

The passanger door had a small paint chip near the rallye decal that I wanted to at least get a coat of paint on before winter. So light brushing, white primer, bianic white & laccuer later this was the result. (it's not perfect but until I can do it properly it'll do)



then thought I'd get some pics from one of my fav places






baker bm mounts bought



they were seriously needing changing


after these were fitted the car got a clean and then a trip up to have the photo shoot done for the buyers guide feature in pfc







after that it was time to pop the winter wheels on



The Rallye then made it to the cover of pfc (albeit in micro picture form!)



buyers guide



This then happened



broken engine mount. trip down to southampton for Daveyboy to weld in my new plate for the top mount. He's also welded up the small holes in the boot for an extra £20



then before


mid-way


after

after much time and the rallye being at home, she came back to birmingham with me. where me and a friend set about fitting a cam cover and the inlet mani



so nice peugeot lion there.....the drive home melted the glue and the badge fell off

months rolled past and 2012 left and 2013 arrived.

and the fuel pump relay died and then the offside drivers side bulb holder died and then the wiper stalk packed up....
all of these have been changed in the past week.

Good to see one of the original press cars still about and being given some love.

If I ever get another 306, it'll be a Bianca Rallye.

Happy days for the wipers lasted about 4 days.

During the changing of the arm I sheered a bolt. The arm them
Bounced off the bottom of the screen putting a crack about 1ft long in it, new windscreen required. However the sheered bolt has been removed & new bolts fitted.



Decided it deserved a decent clean & I need some new bits so a trip to halfrauds and came away with a few little bits


Then a quick 3 hour clean and she looked fairly tidy again
