205 4x4 Conversion

[hcmini1989 16]

Right for starters i hope this is in the right section.I know this has been coverd before but i cant find the answers im looking for and all the pictures cant be seen because there out of date.

 

Anyways moving on im going to convert my 205 to 4x4,Im planning on using the mi16 4x4 rear end as basicly its complete suspension set up ,And i dont have to weld turrets into the rear end of the 205.

 

Now wich route should i go down do i make the 205 back end fit the 4x4 axle?

 

Or do i make the axle fit the 205.

 

I have never seen a 4x4 axles mounting points so i dont know wich route to go down.Are they that much dis simalar to the 205 ones?

 

Im usure weather to shorten it or weather i could get away with using diffrent off set wheels i,e hight number meaning they dont stick out as much or i could run some bigger arches

 

My biggest concern is getting the axle straight as in perfect so it matches the front and doesnt end up crabbing

 

cheers for any help and pictures are much apreciated

 

BTW i dont have an axle of yet otherwise i wouldnt be asking

I think Ade4wd was selling a 4 wheel drive setup for a 205 a while back, might be worth sending him a pm.

My 205 4x4 setup is still for sale.

I shotened the width of the 4x4 rear subframe and modified the mounts so it bolted onto the 205. I do have loads of 4x4 parts that i kept for spares if you need anything.
