[Josh_Quant 27]

nice head on picture with valance, i like this one

got a wonky headlight that needs adjust still but got to be change anyways since there not a match pair!

Looks really nice, well worth buying new headlights and driving lamps (fogs) as the new glass really compliments a respray.....the rebuild takes a long time doesn't it!

[Guest Spitfire2k6]

Picked a class colour there mate, can't wait to see the resulting product!

[Josh_Quant 27]

this is the only update picture i taken - i do like this one though

 

things left to do.....

* Fit weatherstrips - not new

* Get rear window fitted.

* Take door cards back off since i forgot to adjust door gaps.
* Change hubs to 1.9 ones currently sat on 306 ones couldn't source some at the time.

* Check tracking

* Fit mirror covers
* Change a fuel hose that's old and hard

anyone know were i can get some clear side repeaters??

the driving lights were replaced shorty before the car was off the road so there done...

 

tell me about it! only over 2 1/2 years and gods know how much money i pumped in to it, worth it though once i get some use out of it..!!

_{good effort that lad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}

[Josh_Quant 27]

I thought this was long forgotten about to be honest since i haven't updating in such a long while.

 

So i best cut a long story short its all tax and tested and been on the road for the last 7 months since my white 205 had engine problems.

 

Its had some nice upgrades like peter t stage 2 and pug racing 4 branch manifold and system thanks to doof

 

 

the standard crap exhaust manifold next to newish 4 branch - nice quality item would recommend to anyone, definitely help it breath better

You scrapped a white non sunny gti??

[Josh_Quant 27]

No... It was a diesel

[Banjo 1]

Good lad

[Josh_Quant 27]

Will be update on this weekend.

 

Just bought a new 25mm ARB and waiting for my oil to turn up

[Josh_Quant 27]

little update as said

 

done little bit of work on it today such as - oil and filter,brown coolant temp, rear arb

 

pictures to follow

 

 

 

nice comparison with new 25mm skip brown and old 16mm ARBs - end plates come off really easy and seals all good so happy with that.

Sorry to dig up old posts but just noticed a couple of things.

What fuel rail did you use? as the one I have has the pressure regulator at the end of the rail rather than in the centre. Also did you get an alternative bracket for the idle control valve as mine is currently lay across the middle of the manifold and not to keen on the looks!

 

Cheers

If you look at earlier pics it is an xu10j4rs inlet manifold, throttle body and fuel rail..

[Josh_Quant 27]

2.0 mi16 fuel rail

[ftoomsh 5 1 Cars]
