Spent today removing more interior to clean up along with cleaning of the boot area.
The boot floor was disgusting for starters, removed traces of the old carpet glue on the arches too. Found a little bit of rust tucked up in the offside rear inner arch area under where the jack is stored. This is a common area, so much so that Peugeot did make a replacement piece for this area, havnt checked to see if they still stock them yet.
Anyway here's the before pics after I'd removed the boot carpets (those will get vac'd and shampood over the next few days
And the afters
Popped the sunroof back into place to test it aswel. I've cleaned it to death and it finally has nice smooth operation and no longer needs the assistance of a rubber mallet.
That's it for today folks

Or a time machine. Pop back to when the car was new, snap photos and come back to the present?
In all seriousness it's excellent work, attention to detail is off the scale. Kudos to you

That was exactly my thoughts Smith, they weren't shy with the bloody glue either, took me hours to get it all off & Velcro will be used instead when refitting.
Another annoyance is that Peugeot seemingly used thread lock on every sodding bolt, along the entire length of the bolts too.

Back from holiday so tomorrow progress shall resume
Removed the scuttle panelling earlier as that'll be first port of call to sort this shambles
Disgusting as expected. A few small bits of surface rust in there but It is completely solid so I should be able to remove the majority with a wire attachment on the drill, treat accordingly and keep progression at bay until eventual full strip down and respray.
I also want to get the dash out to clean it and finish drying off the interior, the sound deadening behind the dash was quite wet too when I got it so that's still causing a pond like smell.
Rear windows need to come out too as the seals are covered in smelly conifer gunk aswel.
I'll get updates up again by tomorrow evening with progression
