I think it is because black block paint stays on better than any other colour due to the high heat that it has.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Well the pistons are now fitted to the block and a few shiney bits i had painted are too, seems a waste to have to put the head on as the pistons look so nice, coming along now-  Should have this all back together and in the car by saturday, well if i can get a few hours on it.

Done alot to the car today, as there wasnt a great deal in i got Dave to do most of the work and i focused on putting the Rallye back together, first off was to reaasemble the engine, starting to get there-(notice all the grubby hand marks everywhere)  Gearbox on and mostly all the bits and pieces needed, just got to do the final stages of the head tightening and the cam covers can go on. More or less done-  Lining it up under the car to go in, notice i have left an old sump on the engine, more about this later-  Lokking at the photo's now i wish i had the manky alternator painted as this lets the side down.  Finally got the engine and box in on two of the engine mounts and surprisingly didnt scratch any of the fresh paint-  A bit further on-  Well it certainly is starting to look like how it did before now minus the rust, coming along well, not hit and stumbling blocks yet, you have to love the morettes   Well now the sump part i mentioned earlier, took the old one off- (didnt want to scratch the new oneup slipping and sliding it along the garage floor)  Replaced it with a nice shiney one- (there is a method behind my thinking)  Well last but not least for today anyway was the fitting of the shiney new subframe, have to say this really finish's the car off, now if i get cheesed off with the car being in the workshop i can put the wheels on a nd push it outside. Not much more to do, last picture of the day-  Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Well spent the afternoon on the car and it is now back on its feet, just washed off all the garage and bodyshop dust not to mention all the abrasize sand blasting grit that seems to have got everywhere-  Applied some clear waxoyl to all the hard to reach areas and the lower cross member etc, i was a bit undecided as it does make it look a little less fresh but it wont be seen when the bumper and bits are all back on- A few close up shots of the bay, i have to say i am very pleased with the end result, my empty wallet now is going to start to recover as the spending has to stop, well worth the money though-    Of to the welders tomorrow for the boost pipes to all be made, welded and fitted, much to the despair of my welders wife Just off to put it on the truck now............... On the truck and ready to go-   Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.
