Megane Lee Cole's 225 project tidy up

[lee coley]

So after selling my other 225 3 years ago I really needed another but it had to be inferno Orange I was offered this at a good price and in pretty good mechanical condition,as for the body work I'd say pretty good for a 11/12 year old car with 80,000 miles,it had the odd dent and scratch and the usual surface rust behind fuel filler housing.

I had 2 week to strip prep and paint and rebuild. Few pics bellow. ☺



Then got crackling with the strip and started with the filler.Nothing major only a few slight ripples.



Which then found its way into primer and fully masked up one Friday evening ready for paint

Then the other bits in the other oven





Fuel housing removed to clean surface rust behind filler housing



Rear trim removed



A coat of sealer before laying the base coat down



Fully built up wIth the wheels painted lunar grey.



I had some lunar grey paint left over from a job I did so did the wheels,door bullets, mirrors and handles.

Ive also fitted full LED interior,sidelight and fog bulbs, Next on the list is a 250 turbo and supporting mods then try and find a mint full leather R26 interior.

Cheers

Hi big Steve. I personally cant take on a full resto for at least 6-9 month but if you are serious about having it done up here and want a 100% flawless job a mate of mine runs his own independent body shop with some serious skill level. Its a Family business father and 2 sons. They do everything from fitting body kits to high end vehicles to restorations. I used to work with them at my previous workplace.

I can give you a contact number if you like?

Best sort of place to go, where they take pride in their work.
