Hi there. That is a good question. I'm removing all the damaged inner chassis parts myself and also separating the o/s front end I've bought. I do intend on getting a professional welder to weld the parts back into place.
Although once I'm out there I might have a go myself if it doesn't seem too difficult. I've not done much welding before but there are some great guides online.
Apparently these replacement parts will have to be plug welded back on. I'll get it all of and prepped and see how it all lines up.
To answer your question, I will be getting quotes for the welding. I'll be putting the front end back on myself.

You only need to be a couple of mm out and that will throw the whole geometry of the car out, and will have endless handling problems.

Well for the work he is doing,nothing will effect the car handling,as the damaged part didn't effect the part where the shocks are mounted,but if they weld it wrong,he will have a problem fitting the front end,such bonnet,headlight,grill,bumper and so on :(,there will be measurements for sure.

Just a little update on this fix. I've been working in my normal job so progress is leisurely! As you can see, I have now removed headlight housing panel, cross member and the front chassis closing panel ( the one with the towing eye attached to it)
As you can see, the front chassis panel has took a big hit. You will see how it's crumpled. This section is exactly designed to do this. As you can see in the third picture, figure 8. This is the section I am replacing Saturday.
It's spot welded to figure 5 in the picture. So will remove and weld section I've gotten from scrap yard. Obviously the one I've removed has already got the leg and closing panel attached.
So will spend tomorrow dismantling the front end I got from the scrap yard. Lots of drilling to remove the spot welds.

Damaged parts of chassis leg cut out with grinder.
Front chassis leg welded in. Then headlight panel and front cross member.
Bumper reinforcer is added to check alignment.
So next step is treat with under sealant and primer. Then I'll spray it up and add the washer screen bottle, Horn and radiator. Then I just need to buy wings, bumper, bonnet and headlights.
The car owes me £1150.

Hi mate. I've been quite busy actually. I will upload new some pictures in a few days time as I'm busy living the Dream at the moment.
I have though prepped the all welded parts, primed them and sprayed them Silver and finished with Lacquer. Then finally coated with some underseal to keep the tin worm at Bay.
Refitted the Radiator and fan, flushed the system and added new coolant. It's good to get the Engine running again. It's not overheating and the fan is cutting in which is awesome.
I fitted the replacement screen wash bottle and attached everything back up. Refitted the Horn and repaired a few plugs that we're damaged.
Fitted the replacement front bumper retainer and fitted both front Headlights.
Everything is working fine and everything lines up nicely.
Traveling up to the West Midlands Tuesday to pick up wings, grille and Bonnet off a 2005 206 SW in Ezr. Hopefully they'll be a perfect match.
I just need a front Bumper now. These seem very difficult to come by in the colour coded version.

That is a great update,the car is nearly done according to what you said :),looking forward to see the pic,the car you got is so nice,and it will be a nice ride :),hope the wings and bonnet will match,if you don't find a bumper,just spray it

So a update on this thread. I did have other pictures but I kinda lost them. As you can see, the car is nearly finished. Just adding the last touches now. Just need to sort a little dink on the drivers door and wing.
The Bonnet is a state too so I'm looking to replace that.
Been working on her all day today. Removing centre console and other bits of trim so I could clean and remove Dog Hair. In depth Valet nearly complete now. I just need to shampoo the seats and carpet to try and get rid of Dog smell.
She flew through her Mot with no advisories yesterday.

Cheers mate. I'll definitely get my money back. She only owes me £1400. I'll drive her for a month and sell her on.
I'm looking to do 207 next. Although, if I see a nice 206, I'll probably buy her as I know these cars inside out and I have a soft spot for them. I wouldn't mind a
Gti either. Although I don't see many later ones.
#29: Re: Bought my second Peugeot 206 Verve on a cat D. Author: LiamMiller, Posted: Fri May 23, 2014 6:23 pm ---- I wouldn't mind doing it, but haven't got the storage at the minute. Hope you get what you want for it though mate!
