Cage is going in

2009-06-09T15:42:00.003+01:00

Just a little update and few photos of the cage being fitted

Stage 1 complete!!!

2009-03-16T09:10:00.002Z

Finaly a year on the 106 rallye has gone on holiday to get its cage fitted. All seam sealer is gone, underneath is in primer. While the car is away its time to start degreasing engine/gearbox and other parts ready for its return.

Loads of work no progress really

2009-02-11T19:24:00.002Z

No real progress but i have been busy!
The plan to use any old engine went right out the window when i saw a great bargain and bought 106 xsi 1.4.
Got the engine out and sold the rest as parts and made back what i paid so i have a free engine. Then saw a 106 rallye manifold and have bought that too.
Also got loads of spares and no where to keep them lol.
The shell is on its side waiting to get the under seal off before going to get cage fitted and paint.

Another 106 aquired!!

Just bought a 1.4 XSI for its engine. GREAT FIND

Handbrake assembly

2009-01-05T21:55:00.002Z

Started working on my vertical handbrake. Still needs welding up, and lever making but its a start.

New bits arived today!

2008-12-04T19:24:00.002Z

Roll cage, strut top plates and handbrake cylinder all arrived now

More F***ing underseal

2008-11-12T21:14:00.003Z

Will this underseal c**p ever end?

Few more pictures of my couplde of hours work on the worst day ever rain/cold/windy :(

Got my roll cage and strut top plates ordered, so hopefully a bit more progress in the next fe months

Underseal removal (arches)

2008-10-07T20:19:00.003+01:00

Few photos of the arches before, during and after. They are only primmed as the whole sheel still needs seam welding and cage fitted

Also you may see in the rear arch that the inner arch will need a new peice of metal welding in.

Engine removal

2008-07-08T20:59:00.002+01:00

I took the engine out by dropping the front end of the car to the floor sitting the engine on bricks then undoing the mountings and raising the car leaving the engine on the floor.

Little more cleaning up of the inside.

2008-06-18T15:30:00.002+01:00

Crap removed so far!!

2008-06-11T16:15:00.004+01:00

The long process of shell preparation can now begin. I'm starting on the inside, removing all seem sealer and sound deadening material, Using scrapers, picks and the trusty angle grinder. Also i have been cutting of unused studs (previously holding carpets etc down). After this i will start to drill out the spot welds holding brackets and any other excess metal that will not be needed any longer.

Had a spare hour....

2008-06-04T22:09:00.002+01:00

Even more bits gone

2008-05-08T21:07:00.003+01:00

2008-05-01T20:31:00.002+01:00

More stripping

2008-04-30T20:48:00.002+01:00

Front & rear bumpers, all brake calipers, exhaust and spare wheel carier all gone

Stripping the interior

2008-02-13T19:08:00.002Z

All in an hours work

2008-02-12T16:37:00.000Z

Maybe the last time for a while. Now I know the engine is a gud-un time to start the strip show.

It's Alive!

2008-02-11T20:09:00.000Z

Found that there was no cranckshaft sensor fitted no wonder it don't start. After a quick search on t'interweb a sensor from 306 @ the local scrappy was fitted.

A quick squirt of easy start and she fired staright up....
The exhaust sounds mint!

Car is here...

2008-02-09T19:49:00.000Z

Picked it up today. Love it lol. Although it wont start think there is a problem with the immobolizer as there is no spark, but hey i think it looks good anyway..

Got a car!

2008-02-06T16:13:00.000Z

Having made space, i have gone and bought a car that i have never seen....(foolish?)

Anyway, its a S1 106 rallye with 1.6 8v saxo engine, compomotive wheels, grp A exhaust and what is believed to be a pug sport ecu...we shall see.

2008-01-29T17:34:00.000Z

Well, a little progress. With a car in mind i have started making space outside for the car, 2 walls, 2 built in flower beds...all gone.

Car i'm looking at is a S1 106 rallye fitted with a vts 8v 1.6 engine, not the best but will do me to start with.

The Plan

2008-01-09T23:12:00.000Z

Well, the plan is to build a standard engined Series 1 Peugeot 106. Exactly which edition is still to be decided hopefully a 1.3Rallye or 1.4xs/xsi.
