Update
My vacation have started and time to do some serious work on project car 1.
We have removed the right passenger door for rust repair and welding, due bodywork damage. And we have also start removing parts from the engine room, not so much rust in the engine room but we need to remove almost everything cause the engine room gonna get painted. Same gray color as before (I don't remember the paint code).
Tomorrow we going to the junkyard and get some parts to the project car, maybe a new hood and front windshield.
More updates tomorrow!

Update
Rain, rain and rain - Today we went to the junkyard to get some parts to the project 1 car . But the weather was not one our side. We didn't bought a new windshield and hood, instead we bought cable from a BMW so we can place the battery in the trunk and battery holder from a Nissan Premiera. And then we did a really good find. Rear bumper and side skirts from a Peugeot 405 MI 16 - 1990. The side skirt my father gonna use for the project 3 car. The rear bumper we gonna use for project car 1. Is the rear bumper lower part we gonna use. We did some test mounting to day and don't to much modification have to been made for making it fit well.
As I write before, the weather was not good today and we was not able to do any work on the car (I want a garage!)
Here some pictures from today:

Mini update
Few hours spend today with the project car. The weather was good today so we manage get the engine room ready for painting, still need some cleaning, rust fixing and masking before we paint.
I worked with the Peugeot 405 Mi16 rear bumper, removed the lower part of the bumper and I will make it to fit with the 505 bumper. I can reveal the plans i have, gonna use the 505 bumper and the 405 lower part. I'm making a mold of the 505 bumper which i gonna mold together with the lower part of the 405 rear bumper. I hope it will give the 505 a discreet and more modern look.

Done some work with the project car 1; replaced a broken door handle, add a air intake on the hood and I'm still working with the rear bumper. Have to do some improvements before I cast with plastic.
