Vinyl'd up the car with a sunstrip first in white and then decided I didn't like it and changed it to black. Also added the graphics I had made up. They're all confined to the roof panel and I think it looks okay. It's certainly the effect I was looking for. Created covers for the... Continue Reading →

After a bit of faffing about, refitted the bonnet and put everything in the engine bay back together. Still a few jobs to do like the proper fitting of the cage inside as well as the codriver footrest, gel battery mount and some covers for the rear wishbone mount access panel. I am going to...

he Safety Devices roll cage is back in and loosely bolted in place after a lot of effing and blinding and trapping of fingers between pieces of steel tubing and bodywork. It's a good tight fit which of course is the way it's supposed to be. Just waiting for some bits to come in the... Continue Reading →

With clear coat lacquer dried, the whole interior except for the roof panel was masked off. The interior of the roof panel was then given two coats of matt black paint. I had toyed with the idea of using some black acoustic fabric for the same job as I've seen it done on other cars... Continue Reading →

Managed to source a set of coolant hoses off the Pistonheads classifieds for a bargain price. So I'll get them plumbed in sometime soon, probably one the garage is cleared out and I can get the whole thing up on axle stands. I still need to drop the oil out of the engine and gearbox...

Laid down the first top coat layer five days ago - it seems ages to have reached this far, but it's looking good. Just needed several more layers of paint to finish it off. With the clear coat is on, there was a definite sense of Whoop! Whoop! Well I felt like doing a few... Continue Reading →

There is perhaps nothing less dull that bodywork prep work. I spent most of the weekend working on the interior. Filler and primer and sanding with wet and dry is a time consuming and dull business. Making some progress, but it just feels so slow. With that completed it finally feel like progress is being... Continue Reading →

After an extended pause, some work has finally be accomplished on the car. New poly exhaust mounts have arrived and been fitted. In a bid to try and motivate myself into some action, I applied the new Peugeot 106 Rallye decals to the back of the car. None of this is particularly exciting - the... Continue Reading →

Rallye is back. All the work needed is done, but it feels like an anticlimax. One of the exhaust mounting rubbers snapped as we were fitting the exhaust back on which was a pain in the arse. The rip tie fix lasted all of about 5 minutes on the way home so it was hanging... Continue Reading →
