[car_upgrade] My Dream 205 - Mi16 On Bodies

[craig_007 1]

Hi Rich,

 

Just came across this.

 

Good to see your enjoying the engine and your Miami 205 should be some weapon as well as being really tidy.

 

I'll keep an eye on this.

Cheers Craig, dont worry your engine is in good hands! (I think!)

 

Bit of an update, New backplate made and some other new bits

[dicky20014 4]

Got some black covers for the wheel bolts, i was going to get some new ones from peugeot but for £90 a set I think ill give it a miss! These should cover my tatty ones up nicely

Bit of variation on the standard centre cap, painted them charcoal grey, lion red then lacquered over it, what do you think? Should go well with the wheels hopefully

[dicky20014 4]

Havent updated this in a while, nearly finished now, lots of smaller bits done, wiring pretty much complete now and interior starting to look more like it should

 

 

dual gauge fitted

Wiring tidied up (mostly) and tucked away better

 

 

Slam panel trimmed to fit around filter, its pretty snug in there!

[dicky20014 4]

found that when i shut the bonnet, it struggled to shut properly because the slam panel isnt as sturdy as it used to be! So started looking into making a support bracket for it, this is roughly it, just needs the ends welding and painting up!

Slampanel painted up and trial fit of parts including rough placement of radiator

Looking good.

I'd consider bonnet pins, at least that's what I went for.

The slam panel's rigidity comes from the rad in standard position.

Unfortunately this is exactly what I did, rather not and didn't have the budget for aero catches at the time. Although old school bonnet pins are retro motor sport!

 

Also this is looking sexy mate! Very thorough.
