Project Yellow thing - coming to an end

[John1.4]

thought i'd start a proper thread about my car, and what the plans are...

current spec - Peugeot 306 xr 1.4 petrol
                    sony headunit,
                    14in OZ alloys

pics when I picked him up:





it's done 110000 miles, had 3 owners, the last one having had it for 11 years, and replaced nearly everything once or twice (bar the engine - more on that later)
so for £300 with 6 months tax, and a spare engine thrown in a good deal I thought



the first problem I encountered pretty quickly - no horn, both side repeaters painted black, and a huge amount of mayo in the oil cap, and a similar lake of oil in the radiator

unfortunately I didn't get any pics whilst doing the HG, but needless to say it was overwith in about 4 hours, and only cost £40 due to the amount of new parts on the spare engine that were scavenged, including the head

Problems number 2 and 3 quickly presented themselves - 1 DEAD battery, and once that was replaced, an alarm system that wouldn't turn off (one piece of advice the previous owner hadn't given was how to turn the damn thing off...lol)

Part 2 -

Well it works, and legal since the new side repeaters and horn arrived but it's brakes are terrible, so the first thing i'm doing is to replace the 247 solids with a set of lucas 266

sourced some from an axownersclub member, they'd been stripped down and partially cleaned, so I started by getting rid of the old paint..



then a layer of caliper primer



I already had some paint in the cupboard (lol I have loads of crap in that cupboard...) so for the sake of budget I used it up...





it started to rain halfway through spraying so I cut up a couple of black bags to make a makeshift canopy

new seals fitted



all back together - there are a couple of small shadows in the pic but they came out pretty well



I dug out a master cylinder from one of my parts boxes today and it got the same treatment..



that's it for now, weather permitting i'll be fitting them tomorrow, so i'll get some more pics and hopefully good comments on the results stopping-wise...lol
