Like all good project cars, the project isn't dead... just slow. But there has been progress in the many months since the last post... And good progress is happening now.
What is the best way to post photos on this forum? Limit of a few kilobytes isn't easy for photos.

Speaking of Peugeot rally cars, do you know what became of this 306 maxi replica built in Perth in the early 2000's?

It went to Tasmania. I believe it did one Targa in late 2000's and hasn't been seen again? This one had a genuine Peugeot kit afaik. Funnily enough there is a second one recently built like it in Tassie, but a locally made kit.

If AF people are interested, I'm going to move my photos and build to Facebook... Check out http://fb.com/overcrest.maxi
It looks great. Don't forget to strengthen the firewall where the brake & clutch pedals attach. If you decide to fit a pedal box later, that area will crack from the additional force required to push the master cylinder.
Thanks Peter. Yes, we have welded in a plate on the inside side of the brake booster - and tied it off with a 30mm connecting rod to the rollcage leg. Although I'm also thinking of adding a 30mm rod up to the steering column
It was probably clear from the pictures from June, there was a lot of body work tidy up required from the seam/stitch welding, and even the cage, as the car sat in the workshop for some time after that work was completed.
So I'm sharing what that cleanup looks like. What doesn't come across is how many long hours and weekends this took...
I didn't want to sandblast and expoxy primary again 1) cost and 2) there is more odd welding jobs still to do. This gets the car protected whilst I continue working on it.
