Hi guys,
Had a long day on her today, removed the exhaust ( that was hard!), rubbed down rear panel and rear extreme frame, panel wiped it all, red oxides everything, then painted rear framework black, to tidy it up. Spot welded the near side wheel arch together, and refitted exhaust permanently with clamps and paste.
Not sure what has gone wrong, but she won't start, checked the three earths at rear were connected and shock sensor reset, but no firing?
Any ideas?

Cheers

FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!

Looked through all the peugeot of forums, scratched the rest of my hair off, my mate came round and we discussed it, (both of us are sparkles), put a feed onto the pump and tried, no luck. Tried the key chip reset procedure, no luck, refitted the alarm sounder box thingy in o/s/rear, no luck, checked fuses under n/ wing, no luck.

It was a bloody fuse by steering column!!!!
Can you believe it, don't know how I blew it.

PHEW, rant over now, that's what happens when you over think something I suppose.
Anyhoo, relocated fuel filler pipe to o/s/r wing area behind quarter glass, where I'm going to fit an aero style cap, photos to follow for anyone who wants to know how I did it. Got to extend about six inches to new cap when I get it, but managed to use original pipes etc, so no cost and no waste, loving that!
Next will be to cut that wheel arch out now, and tidy up with tiger seal, and then use xperts idea of councils bin cut offs for arch liners, thanks xpert.

Cheers

Hey Alex, Have a look at 3mm textured black plastic, you can no doubt get it local from a plastic's firm I paid £30 for an 8ft sheet. I'm going to be using this for all the cover up panels under the car. I just rolled it up to fit it in my car. :-) DNA use something similar for all there arch liners.

Thanks Steve,
That is a much better option as it means less waste etc. will do that.

JD, yes boss been cracking on again today, so build still on schedule. Hoping to have all the bits done before going to get my suspension from extreme, but as advised, I won't  be bonding any panels til I have fitted the suspension .

Cheers
Alex

Had a thought that I could use the fuel cap release for engine cover, so disconnected and took out the hole into the car for later, and will reposition lever by drivers door onto door latch panel

Overall view showing position, where I will have to come up with a way of extending this about 6 inches to new filler unit when I get it
