So, this will be my third project thread, after Poppy, the intercooled 2.0HDi ( www.206info.co.uk/Foru...poppy.html ) and Violet the quickly sold track car. So, after moving to Moscow last year I am now back, with a third project. Cally - Short for Californian Poppy - Sticking with the flower theme. 
Cally was bought or an absolute steal at £690and she went in for an MOT, which all that was required were ball joints, an exhaust clamp and the rear pads. As I was still out of the country, Larry and Dave spent a lot of time getting it sorted for me.
This is how she was bought:
I'm not going to post photo's of each modification and change that I have done in the last 5days, but big brownie points to anyone who can spot all 9 changes that have been made.
These photo's are all from today, where I got my old detailing head back on and gave her a good clean. The bodywork of this car is awesome. No panel gaps, no major dents and the paintwork is all the same colour. I can honestly say she is one of the best examples that I have seen of a 12year old car for a long long time.
This won't be a huge project, as I am in the UK for less than 10weeks a year, and it's just a clean car to keep me occupied and get me from A - B whilst I am here... Although knowing me, I'll hatch some stupid plan somewhere.

I'm good mate how are you. Seen a lot of pics on Fb from Moscow. Looked good
Right parts wrong colour. Close enough.
Anthracite strips then?
Looks good, phase 2 rear strip and washer jets would be a good add

Ste - Rear arch - Correct.
Nope, still original aerial.
Jared - I'm fine pal, enjoying a nice 8 week holiday! Yeah anything that looks black in those photo's is actually anthracite. Rear bootstrip, coming soon. Ph2 washer jets - Trying to track some down. Many scrapyards are full of PH1 ones or the bonnet has already gone.
That is them all.
I have also added a engine cover and removed those awful cones, for a K and N panel filter. Also had a full service and already has a full aftermarket exhaust system.

Completely moved to Moscow mate. Been there for a year now. Just been given another year contract, that added with a Russian girlfriend and a generally much better lifestyle... Could be there for a while. But, it now looks like I have this baby sat at home, and I don't know if I can be apart from her for 42 weeks a year. She may have to come to Russia.

Sounds good, speak the language well?
Do you have a car in Russia or is there no need where you live/work

I don't have the Russian keyboard on here, but:
zdrastviewty, kak dela? morshna dva piva, odin vodka e cola e odin batulka krazney vino pozhalsta.
Hello, how are you? Can I have two beers,one vodka and cola and one bottle of red wine please.
Other bits and bats, but I can get by in the vast array of bars. No car mate. The metro costs 50p and I can get anywhere in Moscow for that. Plus have you seen the Russians driving? I value my life and car.
