Might as well get this into a project, turned out to be taking 2months longer that I planned.

So this is when I took it off dad's hands

Then as you know the engine died

So then I attempted to get it out
Hub nuts:

Everything was a pain, until one magical day

This is now waiting

Wanted to check gearbox was OK, popped it apart and it's fine.
Couldn't get back any closer than this

So pulled it up for another look. Unfortunately one of the bearings decided it was off on an adventure then. So that's that over. Gearbox will be another day.

Engine bay:

Now after giving it some attention I have a question, how do you get the corners cleaned up?
Like in this pic

The corners are pretty horrible on lots of other places too

It's a pain in the arse but my only available advice is to take the front bumper/lights off first, SO MUCH SPACE! wish I'd managed it before the engine came out.

And areas like this. I'm trying deox gel but not impressed thus far.

I can't get any of my drill attachments in around the bent parts.

I had this - get a Dremel with the small stainless brushes. They don't last too long (last almost no time if you wind the Dremel up to 30,000 RPM!) and are expensive, but you can get in loads more tight spaces. The round sandpaper looking thing for the Dremel also works well.

Deox gel works well if you degrease the area thoroughly first, get as much rust off as you can with chisel/drill/Dremel etc, and lay the Deox Gel on thick. Then cover it with cling film and leave overnight. Took me a bit of working out, but found this was the bast way. And you may need a repeat application.

Certainly with the Deox-C solution it worked way better once it had already been sanded down and all the paint had been removed I found. Heating the solution or making it with very hot water also made it far more rapid, although heating the gel in situ might be a bit more tricky.

Well done for really going to town on restoring this though!

PS. I think your hub nuts were a bit overtight. Laugh my ass off

unless its actually crusty I really wouldn't bother taking it back to bare metal, just key the paint and bash the primer over the lot.

Huzzaaah!

Turns out the only thing I can get to shift the deox gel in places the drill bits won't go is uncomfortably hot soapy water and a scrubby pad. SO pleased that worked!

So, finish up the lower cross member and it's game time! Big grin

Just try not to scratch the fresh paint when you stick the old engine in lol!!!

It did take a while yeah.

And I'll have some extra eyes and hands around when it does go in, just to be on the safer side.

So this the bearing that left just the race behind. Will be getting something from Peugeot soon to replace it.

Now here's the outcome from a hot soapy scrubbing pad

Then made the whole cross piece shiny, was a bit 'orrible

took care of a few spots which were trying to break out

Then RedOxided the whole bastid lot

Also started on a couple brackets.

This was a proper mess so took it all back to metal and it was OK.
Wondering if this should go red too even though it will be barely visible

and this will probably go red as well. Even though it'll also be barely visible.

I saw this on FB the other day.

Looks lovely and I now want a lovely shiny new heat thing. Where can I get one? The blue writing on it just makes it look more professional I think.

Looks like somebody's re covered the standard heat shield, if not they've done a good job making it.

I thought it would be running by now too lol. As is the way though, everything that can cause a problem does do.

The main problem in my life right now is doing this on the drive, fcuking rain!

But it's starting to look nice in the bay

Just the paint code issues to sort out.
