Matts £200 Cherry Rallye shell rebuild & tidy up project. Xsara goodies landed!

[Matt-Rallye]

For those of you not on the mighty facebook..

Drove 70 miles with a trailer on my new landy the other evening and came home with this.. 



So what did i have for my money?

Cherry rallye shell (complete with all panels, logbook and even MOT'd untill march next year!)
Full rallye interior in mint condition
OMP steering wheel & boss (already sold)
Few other goodies like powerflex bumpstops 

This is the car in its previous form.. 



And this is how it stands now...



Dragged it back too Zakks (Ozonehostile) unit as he has an incredibly handy 2 post ramp! All of the underneath work will hopefully be carried out here by myself and Zakk. 

Plans so far are as follows but are subject to change at any given time. 

- Strip, clean, repair, paint and protect the entire underside.
- Repeat process in engine bay / inner wings etc.
- Get all brackets / mounts / subframe etc powdercoated.
- Refresh spare engine I already have, new gaskets & seals, new clutch etc and full service inc belts.
- Fit rebuilt 30mm lowered beam I have been hoarding.
- Refit full standard interior.
- Purchase some decent shocks & springs to match the beam.
- Fit wilwood 4 pots (also hoarded)


Aim is just for a nicely fettled OEM+ rallye, Will see if i end up falling in love but in honesty at the moment its mostly about saving one rather than see it go to the scrap heap maybe even make a penny or two but who knows.
