I wouldn't powder coat, it'll crack if you use it to jack the pug up.
Exceptionally clean though bud. You could enter that into some show and shine / concours and win I reckon, especially if you took the bumpers etc off. "Exploded Concours Entry"....

Shall I rename my topic to Project Pristine? That's the way it's going to be when I'm done.
The floor has all been painted and the rear axle will be off one day for a refurb (i.e. powder coating) and the boot floor might be covered in Epoxy Mastic.
More money spend this week. £67 on nuts and bolts! These are for the front hubs, wishbones, steering rack, column, heatshields and anti roll bar. A couple of brackets are yet to come from the dealer.
Heatshields have been cleaned up and painted.
Then I'm going to change the brake pipes that run under the floor. They are slightly bubbled under the coating, they are 11 years old after all. So while the front subframe is off I might as well get them changed. So I ordered some tools.
Exhaust manifold has been cleaned and the flange painted in HT paint like it was when new. The lambda sensor was changed and the connector replaced and covered in convoluted tubing and a end cover to make it look neat.

looking nice, have to watch that convoluted tubing doesn't melt. could you measure the inner diameter of you exhaust? also does the exhaust manifold flange match the ports in the head or is it slightly bigger? thanks

It's a 60mm internal bore on the exhaust. The manifolds were designed to go with the Longman head and both are a couple of mm wider than standard. Standard exhaust ports are 42mm wide. The Longman exhaust ports are 47mm wide. The Maniflow manifold is 50mm at the entry to the port.
The tubing is rated to 120 degrees. It's pinned to the heatshield is well away from the exhaust.

I'm going to go from some H&R springs and some Bilstein Sprint dampers. The H&R springs are about £30 more than Eibachs but I just want to see how they differ to the Eibachs.
I won't be ordering it until the rest of the car is back together. So I'll be waiting a month.

Thanks for the info. The lambda sensor has a heater that heats to about 400*c let alone when being driven hard, the original lambda sleeving is proper heat resistance stuff and I’ve seen that melt where the wires go into the sensor.

Clean enough? Floor almost finished. Front end is getting rebuilt now starting with the manifold. Nect job will be the subframe now that the Peugeot dealer has got hold of some subframe bolts.

Looks great Paul, I'd dread taking it incase it rained though! With it being that clean though it should just wipe off.

Out of interest, how do you clean it?! I dont think you run a hose underneath it and sponge it down.

He strips it cleans it and then replaces anything consumable with mostly original parts, other than the exhaust ecu's cams... well not as much as there once was 
If this doesn't end up a museum piece it needs to be entered for concourse at least!

Yep, the floor has been painted because although it was clean they aren't fantastic looking even when new. All the other stuff is replaced with new bits.
