As a finished job, all white undersides look great and overall make the entire car look cleaner, the rally boys do it to cars so when it comes in to service you can immediately see anything broken underneath as it stands out like a sore thumb.
We've used a 1l tin so far, I finished it off today ready for the petrol tank to go back in, to do the whole car it'll probably take about 4l of paint as white needs a few coats to conver it as a solid colour.
I personally prefer silver on my cars as it covers better and has the same effect but it's the customers choice at the end of the day!
You've done a sterling job of that dude
As Zakk said, its just for practicality & cleanliness reasons mainly!

Post the pictures of the epic bodges, I've only seen such shit "repairs" on classic minis, never on a Peugeot

Oh sir my pleasure!
No words needed in honesty. I've never seen such shit repairs involving some piss thin excuse for metal, lots of filler, underseal and silicone sealant!
Also noticed the previous owner IS the mot tester who tested it... That explains a lot

In other news the rear arches were stripped and ground back to good metal so just waiting on some white paint now, also been in talks with a bodyshop that owes me a favour regarding a full respray so hopefully i can get this one upto standard properly.

So you've stopped restoring one rusty rallye and started restoring a different rallye and that has turned out to be nearly as rusty?

You've stopped updating the thread, you've been doing alot of work on this and the series 2 and you have a job and a girlfriend to service. There isn't the hours in the day.

Iv'e got a family life, megane, 2 rallyes, 2 landrovers amongst other things.
Little bits get done at a time. But it looks largely the same so no new pictures or ,major progress to update.

Usual rust for a Rallye. Will have been jacked on the box sections. Impressive 'repair' though.
Chassis rail looks to have a rather dubious repair on it. Suspect you probably are doing if Zakk is on the case but I'd rip it all off and see what you are faced with.

I don't understand why so many people jack their cars under the chassis box sections!!
Good work on going about saving it! Will keep an eye out to see how the metalwork repairs progress!

Ok we have a mad rush on to return this to a rolling shell for zakk to get it out of his way allowing access to the rest of his unit for a forklift..
So last night we set about re-attaching some front suspension.

coming along a little bit now and will be getting a beam on it before the weekend hopefully.
