I've moved onto the back end now. Rear axle has been removed and will be stripped. One torsion bar screw is seized and one end of another torsion bar is stuck. They went in with plenty of copper grease so hopefully they won't be stuck for long. Brake pipes are stuck in the calipers too!
Boot floor has had a bit of a scrub but it needs a lot more time spending on it before the underseal gets applied. Fuel tank will be removed before underseal is applied.

Decided to clean the rear calipers a bit tonight...not perfect but not finished yet. A bit of Autosol and light sandpaper on the worst parts will make them good.
Before...
After...

Paul, have a look into rust bullet before going down the epoxy mastic route. Looks great by the way! I knew this is how this project would go down the line!

Decided to go for U-pol Gravitex for the underseal. Fairly cheap and can be applied with a normal schutz gun. What is rust bullet? A rust cleaner?

Won't be ordering the springs and damper for a while because there's no point in splashing out £400 for new bits that aren't going to be used. If I ordered them now I'd be eating into any warranty on the parts even without using them so I'll keep the money in my pocket for now.

Rust bullet is a rust preventer, but heard great things about it in the world of auld peugeots! www.rustbulletuk.com/ I've seen people use a combination of that and some form of stone chip.
Epoxy mastic got some good reviews too, but was quite a faff/messy to use from what I heard?

Got my back axle dismantled today. Wasn't too difficult, just one rounded torsion bar screw which was undone with a chisel and the torsion bars were assisted with Plus Gas applied to them for a few days.
Took the trailing arms off to check the bearing which looked very healthy.
Passenger side bearing surfaces on the beam were like brand new, lightly polished but that's all.
The drivers side felt slightly notchy when rotating the trailing arms...there is a very slight wear marks on the tube. You can only just feel the marks with your finger. The other bearing surface is smooth, just the inner surface has marks about an inch long. There is no play in the trailing arm though.
So I have a few choices. I've got to bear in mind the car does 1,000 miles a year at most.
1) Reuse existing bearings and get everything painted with solid beam mounts and fit it all back together. Not worth expense of powder coating an axle which isn't 100% perfect.
2) As above but fit new bearing (not convinced this will achieve anything).
3) But new axle from Peugeot (£485!), new bearing and seals etc. Brand new so no cost for painting etc as it's won't need anything.
4) Get axle repaired at one of the axle specialists.
So far I'm tempted to just get it cleaned up and put back together with the existing parts. With such low mileage each year it should take an eternity to become an MOT failure...but then maybe I'll investigate repairing the worn side.

I though you would want to fully rebuild the beam with new parts and paint it up, to compliment the new front springs and dampers that are being fitted?
