It's not your job to decide if this is dead or not

I haven't had much time to work on the Fiesta because there has been just too many other things to do. One particular project that took a ton of time and effort was repairing a (free) Peugeot 406 which is now my first car (I got my driving license a few months ago). It had some rust problems but otherwise it was in quite good condition and the clutch and air conditioner compressor had been replaced recently. Both rocker panels had huge rust holes but luckily I can weld. The rust didn't seem very bad at first glance because it had rusted from inside out. The largest hole was exactly 1 meter long. Both front fenders had rust and the paint didn't look too good so I decided to fully repaint them and the front bumper too. There were also some other rusted areas that needed repainting.

After cleaning, clay baring, polishing and waxing it looks surprisingly good. It really did take a ton of time and effort to get it in such good shape

55 factory colors so far and there's still a few missing

I'm remaking the engine and transmission since the old models were very inaccurate and honestly ugly. The old transmission (last pic) consisted of 3 shapes slapped together and looked like a deformed potato.

Nice you've done a top job on the Peugeot! Just wondering though, I thought you owned a Ford Fiesta 1.1?
