After A Year Got New 205!

[TRMB84GTI 1]

Hi everyone!

 

Now I have a new 205 I thought I would come back to forum and start sharing! It is a mint but mega slow 205 xe! It has 900cc engine with 49k on th clock and four gears haha! I really like it but I have some plans for it! Would you guys like to see a pic?

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

Of course,we all like pictures so get those pics up

The only pic I have so far

what a hunny

[TRMB84GTI 1]

I have a plan to turn it into a 205 rallye replica?? It is a very good shell to build from so time will tell. The only different part to the rallye replica would be the engine, would think about putting a 1.9 8v in there? What do you guys think to this idea?

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

Hell yeah

I like the rallye replica but personally i would stick with a tu engine,its a lot more work to get a 1.9 in there,you could put a 106 gti engine in there for similar if not more performance than a 1.9 for less effort,the cheapest and easiest of all would be to put an Xs lump in there,

put an xs engine in it there a great engine

[TRMB84GTI 1]

Ohh lovely I am really pleased you guys like the idea, I think its a rather good one too

 

I am a bit of a tech reject so ia the XS engine the 75bhp 1400cc? Also would it we a straight swap?

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

Xs is 85bhp and would be a very simple swap,you would want to get the Xs gearbox aswell.only extras would be an XS instrument panel if you wanted it so you could have a rev counter and i guess yours doesnt have a temp gauge

Don't forget rallye arches will not fit a base model shell

Really..?

 

The rallye is only a base model anyway..

[welshpug 1,657]

I know of a Magenta coloured T16 kitted 205 XE, runs a 4AGE up front and Sunbeam rear end

no its not, the rallye was a gti shell with 1.6 running gear other than the MA box and TU24 engine on twin 40's.

Is there a thread on here that someone has done with a similar conversion? Or maybe keep it standard looking?...

[TRMB84GTI 1]

I have just finished giving the Pug a clean and I thought I would take a couple pics! I have been getting some stick about the wheels, even my wife thinks they are a bit rubbish lol! I was wondering what your thoughts were on either pepper pots or rallye steelies? Anyway I wanted it to look presentable for Monday's Curborough visit

[TooMany2cvs 65]

Woo! Us pikey-spec'ers have to stick together y'know...

 

That's a real time-warp find from the pics. Almost seems a shame to mod it.

Funny my rallye isn't.

Funny my rallye isn't.

"Proper" Rallye (TU24) is a GTI Shell and running gear

"Tesco Value" Rallye (TU3) is a base model shell and running gear

[Obey_R 23]

Brings back memories! I had an XE as my first car, lovely motor! Mine wasn't in such good nick mind you. I stuck some 1.6 alloys on it and some GTi seats front and back, didn't really what I was doing back then (same as now really) so I didn't mess with the engine.

What about strictlyderv, he's got rallye arches on his diesel 205. Anything is possible.

I think rallye arches on this 205 would look really good. Kinda along the lines of what id like to do with my xs

[Lowercase 56]

rallye arches will fit it.

 

ive got a set in my garage i'm umming and eerring about fitting to my rallye.

 

slight bit of adjustment needed but, same story with any fiberglass bits you get.

 

i think rallye steels and a red gti front lower bumper and she'll be a cracker!

[allye 530 3 Cars]

They fit, but they do f all unless you get happy with the angle grinder.

 

She is a beaut! All I would do it put some silver 106 Rallye wheels on. done!

[Alan_M 66 1 Cars]

Any leaning round corners perhaps?

[TRMB84GTI 1]

I agree with you guys the 106 rallye wheel will look sweet! Would a gti bumper fit straight onto my car? How much do you chaps think a set of rallye wheel would cost me?

 

Any leaning round corners perhaps?

A lot of leaning going on lol but once its lent over it have good grip

[pugdamo 111 2 Cars]

The bumpers are different but just fit the lower valences,it will really change the look aswell,very nice little mod imo
