Unfortunatly the front end shunt it had whilst in Adams ownership did more damage than originally though! Dont worry we have a collection of large "straightening" tools

I am glad to see it's getting the level of work required to bring it back to it's pre crash condition. Is that bonnet a lighter shade or is that just fading? I know they did several shades of that colour... It also looks like its less bent than it was before under that bumper, which is a very good start.

Also, has the n/s rear door got primer on it? I don't remember any rust or dents there?

Keep up the good work. I want it back already lol

The bonnet has been sanded down ready for its new paint Adam, hence the change in colour, I managed to straighten the front end with a block of wood and jack but it still needs a bit more "tweaking" so it doesnt look like it has a "hair lip" when the bumpers back on.

The drivers dorr has been sanded but the rear door is just a shadow from the black Golf next to it.

I will need some new fogs as my reflectors are u/s, anyone know where to get some?

Paintworks done just needs mopping and reassembling, the drivers doors not great as its rotten so will probably come through again before too long.

Anyone know where I can get some new foglamps then chaps?

They look very similar to my ZX Volcane's fog lamps...
Can't really see from this, but...



Worth checking out though.

Which means, Peugeots too?

They aren't the same as on a 205, that has straight sides but I *think* they might be a match for the ones on an 306.
Have a look at this link:

I know I bought a pair for a 205 a couple of years back from a Peugeot, and they turned out to be the wrong ones as they were slightly curved.

I would have thought Zx and 306 items were identical, seeing as they shared so much else. Best thing Tim, is post the dimensions - with pics - and see if anyone can help further. How are they mounted?

They are mounted on a u shaped bracket which attaches to the frot crossmember which comes up andd under the front bumper, I imagine peugeot ones are the same, they are made by Cibie.

I may just get some kitchen foil and remake the reflectors myself

Tim, set up a fleabay search for "Cibie IODE". They came up fairly regularly last summer when I was looking for a yellow set (but none on at the moment).

They're much more common than you'd think

Tadaaa!

Just the GT badge to sort now and a damn good clean, and maybe some french style plates





Not bad for a 23 year old car.

That's gorgeous!

For that really authentique look - yellow those foglamps.

That is amazing,

Well done Tim, well done Adam, BXers salute you

Good thinking Phil, I have a mate with the correct yellow paint too, leave it with me!

Well done, that's a super job! Now you can enjoy driving her...
