Bored tonight. Out most of the day at hospital etc so came home tonight and needed to wind down a bit.....

Went out to the garage and got busy with a Stanley knife and the sheet of Neoprene foam. Have to say, I'm very impressed with it. Still concerned its a little thick and have ordered a thinner sheet just in case.

So, the clear marks where its been rubbing the body...









So got busy with the Neoprene and ended up with this...



Some extra bits added to balance it all out and make it sit level once mounted. Need to test fit the tank tomorrow and see if it is too thick. The beauty of the neoprene is that it won't hold water, meaning it won't hold water against the body should I ever take it out in the wet (not bloody likely).Not strictly OEM I know but the OEM solution didnt exist.....there is always something you can improve on.

Should be ordering the bearing and trailing axle shafts soon. Have been ordering other bits and pieces off ebay. Found what looks to be a Peugeot dealer getting rid of 306 stuff cheap. Got a new rear brake hose for part of the beam rebuild, still in the packet at half price at £10. Also bought a load of new clips for the side skirts. Negotiations continue on the correct Pirelli plus other bits!

So, today I picked up one of the tyres. Very pleased with it. In as good condition as he had said.

Came home and once I'd had a cup of tea, I got busy with the sandpaper and the beam....flattened off all the filler which took ages and then did a guide coat of primer. Shows up the highs and lows very well so I could see them. Hardly any highs, still a few lows. Another batch of filler and off we go again....

Flattened off and primed....





The lows...



More filler....



I really need a hobby I think.

Oh, wait......

Bit more done this afternoon.

Flatted back the primer and added two coats of zinc primer. Going off REALLY quickly in the heat of this sun....then got onto the high build primer. 2 coats in....



Liking the colour. Should provide a decent base for the 2k yellow ive got coming. Doing the third coat and I've misjudged where I've painted and not and got a run.....never mind. Can sit in the sun for the rest of the day and dry and I'll flat it off tomorrow.

Also had these arrive today...A brand new brake hose at half normal price and then some new clips etc for the side skirt plus other bits....

The above didn't take long and I was bored this afternoon.

I made a start in the next step, which is stripping the whole front end to eventually facilitate removing the engine and stripping the engine bay to do the same as I'd done underneath.

That feeling you get when you wish you'd never started something? Oh yes....

First step, remove the snorkel part of the air filter system. Easy, one bolt, except someone has put a big old Phillips screw into the bottom.of it to screw the end to the corrugated foil tube that feeds the cheap ads cone filter thats been stuck on.

Snorkel removed, time for the grill. Easy enough you'd think. Out with the 4 clips, disconnect the hockey sticks and remove. No. One hockey stick has been snapped at the point it goes under the grill section before it attaches. One big gluey lump. Grill and hockey sticks have to come out in one piece. White clips that hold the other end of the hockey sticks to the wing have more silicon sealant than homebase......take it apart and the glues hockey stick snaps. Ace. All hockey stick clips broken too but that's normal.

Go to take the passenger side headlight off. Mount nearest the indicator broke . No real suprise. Big suprise was the non std bolt holding it ok , spaced with 4 washers. Was the same the other side....



Got the hump after that and didn't want to do anymore. Bloody thing. Don't think the slam panel is an original one either. Might explain the alignment issues.....

Spent the morning shopping for hospital s**t for next week then watching the Vulcan fly about....

Home now and in the mood to do a bit more. Beam wet flatted back, now ready for the 2k paint when it arrives. Looks half decent in the high build primer finish.....



Also found a can of black paint so started on the end brackets.

Now to attack the front end some more...

So, today was about stripping down the front end as much as possible.

Started by taking out the bumper and slam panel off. Not impressed with what I found (see previous post...) but not much I can do about that now. Explains the panel gaps. So, with that lot out of the way, I'm left with this.



Generally doesn't look too bad. One of the three tabs on the bottom of the bumper is broken, along with the grill section in the bumper. No issue there as ive a brand new grill in the packet in the garage. Bumper I'll probably end up replacing. There is one bolt out of the bumper through the slam panel that's just turning when I try and remove the nut. New slam panel and bumper onto the shopping list.

Rest of the frame behind the bumper doesn't look too bad. Not sure if this side has had some work, doesn't look like factory seam sealant...



This side looks OK



So, once cleaned up with some G101 and the radiator removed, it looked OK...



Fair bit of surface rust, looks to have been painted over on the passenger side of the engine bay. Still, no real issue.

Removed the battery, battery box, ECU, and as much in the way of other bits as I could.



There isn't anything now I can remove without the engine being removed. So, this week all being well before I go into hospital, the Rallye will be moved to my friends unit. Having had the engine in and out of his GTi-6 3 times in the last two weeks, we kind of know our way around them now! Engine will then be taken out, the engine bay stripped entirely and I'm now looking at removing the front wings too and having the whole lot blasted by a mobile blaster.

    Cheers Dan.

    Carl (mech repairs) thinks he might have one. But easier to get from from Leicester than deepest darkest Somerset!!! I'll give you a shout if need though bud.

    Ordered the beam repair kits from that Polish guy on eBay today. Bearings and shafts, £40 a side. Happy with that. UPS tried to deliver another of the new 195/55/15 P6000's...redelivered tomorrow. Hopefully the paint for the beam should be here in the next day or two. Just deciding on which colour is going to be nearest the original.

    Might have sourced some more parts still in Peugeot packing that are a little hard to find. I'll keep a lid on that until its confirmed.

    Won't be much more progress for a week or two now. Hospital looming Thursday and I've a couple of busy days tomorrow and Wednesday....probably be the odd pic or two of parts as they arrive, maybe a touch of paint on the beam.

    Couple more bits collected today...

    The tyre UPS tried to deliver yesterday came and then I collected the steel with almost new tyre I won in eBay as my colleague was down today...

    Steel still has stickers explaining that the washers on the wheel nuts will be loose when using the spare! Will try and preserve these when blasting and powder coating..





    Again, pretty much all the tread you'd find on new tyre..



    All three together...



    Date codes on two of them are 99 and 2000 so could well have been originally supplied tyres. The other is 2008. Getting them fully checked before I even think about mounting them on wheels.....

    Nothing else turned up today so no painting etc. Going to get the steel rim blasted tomorrow....
