After months of searching and planning, I now have a project finally starting!
Well sort of...
Wanted a 106 rallye for years but due to insurance it's never really been an option. Started looking 2 or 3 months ago and went to view a couple but managed to snap this up for a nice price
Only issue was that it needed a fair bit of welding in three places, but after inspection it turned out worse than I initially thought..
Ah well, then managed to get extremely lucky and find a near enough mint shell with welded in seat rails, flocked dash and fully resprayed interior
Was looking like this when I got it back to its' new home and after fitting the boot and bonnet.
First job was to fit new glass for the windows as well as all the seals just to stop rain getting in.
Sadly due to full time uni as well as work that's all I've managed to get done but I need to aim for it to be pretty much completed by Easter so I can get an engine rebuilt and fitted for my final year uni project.
Plans so far (most likely will change)
-Fully protect shell
-Respray Engine bay
-Build up an ITB engine spec
Planned / already bought parts
-OMP corsica wheel
-Full bolt in dash dodger cage
-Full braided brake lines
-Swirl pot / braided brake lines
-266mm brake setup
-Bilstein B8 shocks
-Faulkner 155lb springs
Will update if anything new gets done, but going to take my time and make sure it's 100% finished at the end

Just prefer s2s, chassis wise maybe not but has non power steering rack, no airbags, no air con, no ABS so it's already got a head start compared to a gti
+ can't get a S1 in blue

Yeah I just prefer the look rich - s1s just don't appeal to me but I know someone who has had rallyes for years and is the exactly opposite
Yes I will be, but was going to do it as a final year uni project which today I found out won't really be going ahead so I can't just throw money at it doing a whole rebuild with new parts sadly.
But I'm in talks with someone breaking his 106 if it hasn't sold by this weekend - if it doesn't I will get the engine but will keep it a secret for now 
Yeah mate it's a 1600 8v 106bhp standard so slightly better than a vtr, think it's just a different head to be honest though
Getting a 16v either way, at the very least will get it cammed to around 140 / 145bhp hopefully at the flywheel

Alright i think i have missed read your post 
you only got the S2 shell......not with the engine and other stuff? (first car in the pics)
if turbo-ing it i would have though you need a stronger box? MA box went busted all the time

So much more potential within the 16v, easier and cheaper power sorry I'm not as hardcore
Haha it is a tad confusing - I bought the first one as a whole car just needed MOT and tax but upon getting it home and looking it over the rust (well yes, rot) was not beyond repair but beyond what I was willing to deal with.
So very very very luckily (if anyone has dealt with rallyes before you will understand) I managed to get another S2 shell in the exact same colour which is near as damnit mint for an extremely good price. It's literally a rolling shell - so a few panels and suspension components just to fit the wheels are there.
This is the only car I have now, the first one has been stripped and scrapped and my house is littered with yet more peugeot parts...
The engine I'm looking is around 174bhp at the fly, if this guy decides he will break the car I should know any day now. Otherwise I will do the work myself building an engine up, unfortunately probably spending the same amount getting no where near as good results...
Running standard MA boxes for now, got a fully rebuilt VTS, S2 rallye and S1 rallye here (in order of final drive ratio) so will try them all out and see which is better for the general motorway journeys before my ears blow. + If one died can just swap them over.
I wish I could turbo where does it say that ?

Me neither Adam, ironically it was an advisory last year on the MOT - if that was me I would have straight away got onto sorting it not just run it into the ground a bit more then sell it on.
