Hi Guys, thought i'd start a thread for my Rallye. Plans for it at the moment are to tidy it up and make it a bit more presentable.At the moment the bonnet needs re-painted due to it been badly scratched. Hoping a good detail will bring the paint back to being red again, as the skirts and tailgate are going pink. Drivers seat neeeds the tear it in sorted. Don't really plan to modify it, will keep it as a standard Rallye i think.       |

Looks good buddy but you won't get them side skirts back to former glory with a buff , I had to paint all my plastic bits on my rallye as they all went pink and faded ________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.

Looks good There are a few red Rallyes for sale at the moment, I'm so tempted but really can't justify the purchase. I'll keep an eye on this thread, look forward to the updates. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Good to see another thread on a Rallye. The wheelarches shouldn't be too bad, the panels are galvanised so it should be the oxidisation of the zinc coating that is peeling the paint rather than the orange stuff. I sanded my arches back, zinc primed them and overcoated that with red enamel and lacquer. Still looks good after two years. The skirts are not lacquered so can be polished back a bit to make them more red, but the paint is thin, The paint elsewhere is lacquered and you can't get the colour back by polishing. One of the occupational hazards of bright red paint! I've had paintwork needed on mine since I got it, but have concentrated on the underneath and suspension etc so haven't got around to it. Great car the Rallye, puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

If the backbox is rusty you can tidy it up a bit by wire-wheeling, sanding, blocking pinholes with exhaust paste and then painting it with silver high-temp paint.It won't stop it rusting from the inside due to the water, but it will make it look an awful lot better and it plugs the holes in the short term. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

So ust bedding the new brakes in aswell that i fitted the week before.Clutch seems to be needing replaced soon though. Have a judder while letting it out and moving out in first gear.Presumably the pressure plate? |

Got my scorpion back box fitted at the weekend, along with a new standard centre section due to the previous being rusty with a hole in it. Just need to adjust the rubbers to stop the pipe hitting the axle when i take my foot of the accelerator. Will get some pics up soon |

Looking good! The guy you bought the Rallye off (Lee) is my brother in law. I now own a standard red Rallye too and it's made him miss this one so much! Glad to see she's being looked after. ________________________________________ Blaze - SOLDTeam Astor! - SOLD Black - SOLD Moonstone - SOLD Cherry Red Rallye - SOLD |
