Something has been annoying me for a while and now I saw the ideal chance to do something about it.
You can tell that in the 1990's folk really couldn't be bothered with there jobs. Alarm and immobiliser to be removed

I don't think they should be on a classic car unless its factory fitted.

Went to fire up the GTI today. A complete no go-er.
Engine would crank but refused to start, didn't even hint to want to start.
Few checks of the Tachometric relay indicated no power from the ECU to the relay.
Enough is Enough, Not knowing the brand of alarm or engine immobiliser the only option was to rip it all out and re-wire the fuse board.
With all the crap pulled out and re-wired, first flick of the key we had engine starter signal & fuel pump relay clicking and energising, Quick check at the fuel pump end we have power this is good but no noise & power returning down the earth line.
Quick check at the distribution block at the rear lights yes the rear lights became apparent that I'd not bolted it back to the body. Bolted it on and hey presto she lives

After playing around with the Immobiliser and getting inside of the brain I found the cause of the issues I was having. One of the wires onto the main board had come adrift. Also found out its a genuine Peugeot unit so I happily repaired the unit and refitted it to the cars electronics. The alarm remains in the bin. Cheap fix all in all.
Anyhow Garage door shut, tunes on, Heating on I decided to start making the offside front inner wing section.
First off when I removed the sections from the car I still don't know why I cut them into two pieces but nevermind.
I offered the two sections onto the sheet steel and drew around them to get the basic shape I needed with the additions of two pieces that needed folds applied so I can affix them to the front panel and wing sections.

Cut out the basic shape with the added on sections which needed folded.

Nice and tidy Fold, quite like that machine.

The front edge however after the main fold couldn't be fitted in the folder so, Out with the Hammers and dollies, I had to run a cutter up the center as it needed to fold a bit further in the middle.

After a little alterations and dressing with the grinder I offered it into place on the car & pleased with the fit its very snug
