I hear you, Goce. My personal life took some twists and turns that I won't get into here, and that is one of the main reasons for the lack of action over the last two years. But things are getting back to "new normal" for me on that front, and it's time I turned some of my attention to my Peugeots again.
Having too many parts cars and projects around is definitely an albatross around my neck, so my first task was to define my vision for my car collection. I did this over a matter of months, starting with a list of 30+ cars and eventually paring it down to seven cars and three motorcycles. That got painful toward the end, as I was cutting some very desirable (to me, anyway) cars from the list. But the bottom line is that I'm not rich and this modest collection is something I can realistically attain.
As it stands now, this consists of:
- one 604 (heavily modified)
- one 605 SV24
- one 505 (the STX I already have)
- two 406 Coupes (I'm starting a new build thread for these)
- one Eagle Premier (the '88 LX I already have)
- one Lincoln Mark V
- one Kawasaki motorcycle (my current ZX9R)
- two Yamaha motorcycles
Once I had the collection defined, the next step was to divest myself of everything not on that list. So this is where I find myself now, although it's a long and ongoing process. I've had lots of cars hauled away once I removed the usable parts, but I have a LOT of cars and I can't just throw them away if they have good parts on them. As long as I'm moving forward with the disassembly and cleanup, that's the important thing. In the meantime I have cars sitting in storage in the USA and the UK and I need to bring them home ASAP. Bean has already been of great help in this regard.
One thing at a time, I guess!

The two possibilities I'm considering for this project are shown below, although it should be noted that the Phase I interior would be in dark blue like the Phase II dash. The third picture shows yet another idea, using the Grant wheel with the Phase II dash. This is going to be a tough call, as I like both dashboard styles. The Phase I dash is most in keeping with the spirit of the Danielson V6 car, so that is the way I'm leaning at the moment. But damn...it's a tough call.
