my 106 gti is bianca white, definately no lacquer. something unusual though i had to buy some new front and rear arches from peugeot and when i collected them they were already in bianca white!, do peugeot use this colour as a primer on plastics or something?________________________________________ Why is it that shoe repairers are so good at cutting keys? - Harry Hill. |

Well a bit of an update today for you all, been busy today i can tell you-More stripping the bay out, this is where i got to yesterday, you can see my lunch on the o/s inner wing, eat and work - As you can see a long way to go. So after buying another gti6 this morning i decided to set about removing whats left of the engine when i got back to the garage got here at 3pm and 3 hours later this is what i have been up too-   Complete hubs with the shockers intact came off-  Then we came to the biggest bit of the job, the engine and box, this is what it looks like not mated to a white rallye-  Which then left me a big hole in the engine bay-   Out comes all the brake lines with the pipes complete, looks like this once removed-  Well as you can see more and more is coming off, here are a few close ups of the rust bug, to be fair it looks like i have caught it early as another couple of cars on here that have been done were alot worse than this-   Quite a shock but the top engine mount is genuine and has never had the repair done (common to crack and pull the bolt through-  Well as you can imagine i had a mixture of all sorts on my tiled floor, gear oil, coolant, brake fluid etc you name it i had it on the floor which made it extremly slippy,think i nearly went on my ass more times than i can remember, spent 15 minutes doing this-  Dropped the ramp down now and attached the engine crane to the front of the car-  After shifting it across the garage on the crane i set about starting to clean all the mud and grime that was left off so i can get it ready for paint, all the arches were cleaned aswell, going to have these painted whilst we are here too, also the underside of the bonnet so removed the sound deadening-   Soaked the engine bay in truck wash, this stuff is great but not to nice to your skin or eyes for that matter if the wind blows it into your face, left it to soak for 5 minutes-  Went round with a brush to give the truck wash a helping hand-   Ha ha, well as Dave was in due to him letting me down yeaterday i got him to take a few action shots, its crazy to see myself, look how bold i am not even 30 yet!!  -   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.

Where do you get all this time to do it all? engine bay looks fine to me iv seen a lot worse 306 bays.Didn't you have the engine out when you sorted out SC, ya could of sorted it out then. Im a do it just the once person, leaves me time for other task's and jobs. Are you going to fully respray the engine bay or just sort out rusy bits ? ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Looking good mate,excellent work as always I want it to look nice and smart just how it looked when new i suppose, it was Pugfest last year that got me into this, the cars on show were just immaculate, hoping to take this to it this year, does anyone know the date? Well the truck wash and the jet wash soon set to work on all he muck that was knocking about, i think it may have had something to do with the jet wash being set to 150 degrees, soon shifts the crap, in the scuttle you should have seen the amount of mud, twigs and leaves stuck in there, quite amazing really. Whilst i was there i jacked the car up, quite high ok very high and set about the wheel arches and all the panels from under neath like the lower cross member and the chassis legs-    As you can see slowly all the muck etc is coming off and its starting to look quite clean, there is definately no laquer on the engine bay and wheel arches etc, you can see that just by looking at the colour of the panel work and the bay. After a few runs with the jet wash this is what its starting to look like, just another go over should be enough-    Pushed back in the garage and back on the ramp, thats the cleanest i think i will get it-   This is what i was left with, a bit of a lake in the garage and all the crap that came off it-  Thanks for looking.

A little update for anyone interested-Whilst the car was in pieces i decided to sort out a block to rebore and fit my new pistons too, stripped down a block and got the sand blaster out (that wasnt as much fun as i thought it would be), here are the results-   After all the grit was everywhere removing all the rust and build up of muck i had the engine degreased with a result that looks like this-  Just sent the block off this morning to have it rebored, then i will be able to fit these-  Whilst i have been doing the engine the bodyshop have been busy removing the rust and nasties in the engine bay, this is what was happening at 10 this morning, slowly getting there-      Well just been over to the bodyshop again and the car is being painted in a minute, the car has all been ust treated and all the sealer reapplied-   Bonnet has also been scotched ready to have a blow over, kept the hinges on so the bolts all get the paint treatment too-  Even welded over the original airbox hole where the captive nut spins, wont be needing this so it went-  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.
