Matts rallye project. operation derust

[Matt]

After deciding the xsi was goingbto cost alot to fix I really couldn't be bothered to dish out more time effort or money at it. Decided it was time for a new car. Been looking at rallyes for a while and said that if I were to get something '6 engined it would be a rallye (or a 205 ) right so set about looking and foun this up on eBay. Low starting price but had over a week and I'm impatient. Messaged the guy offered willin some cash done deal!

Nice buy mate. Hope it all goes well.

[Matt]

6 gears yooooo!


Box of goodies


Odd grey handles?

[Niall]

Ewwww ph2!
Haha love it Matt and your more than welcome to drive up to me one day and we will go over it with the machine polisher.

[TheGateKeeper]

Looks good

[kentiiboii]

Nice one matey. I hope when. You say fixing up dents you don't mean with a can of Matt white handy!

[Matt]

Hahaha nope this is going to be done properly!

Also Niall I might take you up on that offer? Free any evenings next week?

[Ed Doe]

Really nice buy buddy well done!!

Can't believe you've got a genuine OMP Corsica steering wheel though! Such a gay How do you find driving it with one? I find it a bit tiresome on long motorway journeys, just cause you cant stretch your arms out and adopt the G-lean; but when pressing on it's a million times better, you have so much more control I feel...

Loving the long-term plans too, I think it's where I'm looking to go with my Astor now too; after stacking it, it's very unlikely I'll be in a position to afford boost in the short term!

I want to see this when I'm back from holiday!!! You'd best be up soon

[Matt]

The wheel is fapping awesome. Just needs a centre!
Needs a few things tidying up but what's new there?

Although I'm thinking it might have maybe be a cat something write of at some point as the doors are a slightly different shade? Probably me just being paranoid. Either way I have a rallye!

[ginge191]

ITB's, done..

nice car though, well done!

[Matt]

Well this has made me somewhat happy





So that's all above board, and the doors must be just off. Not sure why but will have it mopped and see what happens

[Niall]

Matt mopping it wont change the colour of the doors. Only way you will get that sorted is either respray the doors (please don't do it your self....we know what your like with painting)or get someone to match the colour of the doors and blend them to the wings and rear quarters.

[Ed Doe]

Matt I have a 'horn' centre if you want to effectively blank the hole for a little bit? You can have it for free next time i see you; I didnt need it as it came with my boss kit, but my wheel came with a proper centre anyway..

Does your airbag light flash btw? If so that's an easy fix with a resistor, which I can also have a look at for you

Nice one on the HPI check; it's something I always do before buying a car, as it's a useful bargaining chip if you go prepared. Good for peace of mind for you now though!

The doors just probably got swapped due to dings, or maybe they just need more of a mopping of they're discoloured from road dirt? If they are a diff shade they will need colour matching though as Niall says. Or you could try finding a good nick pair on the '6 forums or at a scrappie...

Whats the name of this app?

Also you still running purpleness on this or going for somthing different?

[Matt]

Going to give the car a bloody good clean up and a mop and see what the doors look like, could be swapped due to anything really. Not too bothered at the moment.

Also no purple on this one. It's red this time round

[Jake]

So jealous!

[puglove]

Nice! me looooove bianca who ever took cyclones off to put them wheels and tyres on does need a good slap though

---

On the door thingy do the decals look newer than the rest? if not its prob just new handles , but.....around the lock looks a little messy like its been out?

[vlj]

Really looking forward to the progress on this, brilliant find

Yeah I just found the c clip that holds the lock in, in the passenger footwell. I guess he's had it out. Will whip the door card off next week and take alook. Apparently the reason the lock is like that is someone tried to break in. May just swap the driver door for another, or just spray the handles

[puglove]

I bin trying to get bianca door handles they are like rocking horse shit to get without a door, or they are just mega money like £30 posted each,

Did he give a reason for the door handles being different?

[Curt]

Looks awesome mate, look forward to the inevitable fiddling that will occur with this one

Red and white is always a winnar...

[Matt]

He just said previous owner did it. I reckon they are replacement doors from a pov spec.

bad thing is the more I look for problems the more I know I've bought a shitter haha

[Mrs puglove]

bianca is one of the best colours but paintwork is really horible to polish!
My paint work is really chalky Clay bar from dodo juice has worked a little

White cars=hard work but worth it in the end

I need white door handles too was going to spray a set but dont think they will come out that well :S

[Matt]

Tbh I might just spray some, tbh it's got to be better than looking at some horrible grey handles lol

[Mrs puglove]

yeh i have a set primered ready, just worried that my paint work isnt a great white yet and needs more polishing other wise the colour is never going to match and worried they are going to crack cause you cant spray round the backs that well.

[kingy]

matt. you know i love your euro xsi mate and as much as i hate to see it go, i think your doing the right move. i wish you all the best mate. crackin looking motor. gl.

[Matt]

I loved that car. So much. Gunna miss it. But not going to miss the issues. Or the overfueling. At leat with this it's using a lot of fuel for a reason lol.

f*ck it gunna spray my handles next week
