so... when are you available for booking?

Hats off to you Damir, a good job done, most people who talk about rust on 205's don't really know the meaning of serious corrosion.

So true Tom , this was nightmare of a job must admit , was the hardes thing/repair which i ever did on a car so far .. but still was very good practice for future projects did learn a lot of stuff during this repair which i didn't know before !

 

Thanks for positive comment !

Damir your amazing! ive never seem such a rusty 205 (i did'nt know they could rust this bad?!) but also goes to show what shoddy botch jobs people can do to hide repairs/rust.

[Alfie 6]

Thanks ! well , must admit - i'm a little bit sick and tired with this constant grinding/welding/cutting dirty odd jobs but it'll soon be over just a few bits to sort out then painting job and will be on the road again .. i can't wait to sit back , start up the "rusty rocket" in the Sunday morning and run away up to the hills

Damir, mate, Peugeot should be proud of you. Show them your work. Man! you are entitled to some payback! You MUST ,quite possibly, own what was THE worst 205 EVER!!! Demand a bloody refund or at least, a credit note.

Looks like a Ford 205 to me.

Well , me thinks that the people from Peugeot office will give me an kick in the ar**e rather than a money refund or simple - "off you go , on your bike" reply

 

However i would really like to know what in the name of God has happened with this car during the years , who did the "repairing job" (bodge might be the right word) after the crash and what the previous owners did with him (there's 6 of them in the car booklet .. and looks like the car was imported in Croatia in the early 90-s form Austria or Germany , as it's had first Croatian registration in the year 1993 .. might be even stolen i dunno , it has "police" chassis numbers stamped on top of the RH strut top )

That one should definately be off to Peugeot heaven!

 

I like the way the Dimma kit has come pre-assembled and factory 'faded'

 

You could almost just bolt/bond it on over the rust and sell the car on

Top job there, the B piller/sill area is very good!

 

Have you got this car on the road yet?

[DamirGTI 323]

... just few more days

 

I'll post some pics tonight

 

Damir

[DamirGTI 323]

Ok. the car is fixed , i've been driving it for a few days although it still need few "cosmetic" bits to sort out ... so , will make some complete car pics afterwards , as it needs a good un washing up and polish job

 

Until then here's a few pics from my project database which i didn't post on time :

 

Did some more welding on the firewall inner wing area (both sides) :

 

 

Wheel arches , cleaned , resprayed with red celly paint and filled with few coats of rubber and bitumen based underseal (as well as the entire car underside , but sorry i couldn't make a good picture of the underside because the lack of space !) :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...........

[DamirGTI 323]

................

 

.."strawberry" joint :

 

 

 

 

Fitted a pair of side skirts (mainly because of repair on the RH side sill to "mask up" the details) , anyway they're two piece item and to be honest i quite like the shape :

 

 

 

 

 

Resprayed the boot floor :

.......

 

Prepared the floor for fitting the interior (absorption material , carpet , seats and dash .. will take the pics of the complete interior afterwards) .. the white stuff one the floor is wax ... :

 

 

 

 

 

Prepared my bumper (i have the OE one as well but , unfortunately , it's crashed so i must use this one ..)

 

 

 

 

and finally - some fresh air after 6 months of exhaustive work !! :

hat off to you again hope you come to Pula 4 may i like to see this masterpiece in flesh

[omega 82]

well inpressed with all the work you have done on this.was having a bit of a argument with a mate today about welding and he says that you should not replace a ribbed floor with flat steel as it will lose strengh.i told him he was talking rubbish but he said that car makers would not rib a floor as flat would be cheeper to make,so maybe he has a point?

[flipperthebushkangaroo 2]

looks brilliant mate, i feel unworthy as I'm struggling with a clutch change!!!

 

top job

[DamirGTI 323]

hat off to you again hope you come to Pula 4 may i like to see this masterpiece in flesh
