What Have You Done To Your 205 Today?

[MikeyMike 1]

Replaced driving lights and O/S/F indicator lens. Refitted boot mat. Investigated vibration when coming off throttle since recent engine rebuild - looks like 4 branch manifold touching the bulk head

And finally replaced all for tyres with new.

[kyepan 291]

I scooped this out of the passenger footwell.

Tried to start it, no volts, added volts, no fuel.

 

Gave up.

 

More coffee (not beer o clock yet)

 

Going to prod zx in a bit.

That's a minor leak Justin!

 

All I do is research various bits bobs until I can lay my hands on it in March

Removed rear lights, cleaned light units, lenses and seal.

 

Counting down the days until Saturday until I can do some proper work on it again.

I looked underneath and was amazed to see zero oil on the floor beneath even though she's been sat there for five months out of this crap weather down here in Devon!

I scooped this out of the passenger footwell.

 

Bloody Hell That puts the small amount I get in mine in torrential rain to shame.

[m@ttc 30]

opened the garage door had a big sigh and thought nah cant be arsed. closed doors again lol.

[lagonda 42]

Nothing.

 

But....I have spent the past 4 days searching for a braided brake hose I want to fit, the rear one. Still no luck...but on the plus side, I've found the dog's missing bone (even though I was only looking for the missing ball), the missing ball, and the missing June 2013 Automobile magazine. Perhaps I should get the dog to look, as he's obviously hopeless at finding bones and balls. Just to cheer me up, yesterday I found bl**dy mice had eaten holes in my tonneau cover. At least with the CTi itself, all they do is hide nuts around the spark plugs.

Started to remove the body arch mouldings in preparation to start fitting new ones I found.

I found a mouse nest in my boot after last winter though thankfully all they had chewed was paperwork that was left inside it, if you want another tonneau cover i've got a spare.

 

 

Just been out to mine and warmed it up till the fan came on then drained the radiator, gave the engine a good dousing with wd40,

removed the battery and put it on charge, locked it up see you in april skip

Sanding and yet more sanding....

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

First dry weekend of the year. Got the rear drum brakes built back up with new shoes, cylinders, fitting kit and cables. Adjusted up the rear beam after it's rebuild last year.

the oil was almost like kfc gravy

Messed around with the dizzy (tried to set it up a bit better than before). got it running much better.

 

Took it out for a drive, got it mucky again

 

PERFECT SUNDAY

[ginger205 1]

Finally took the grinder to the rear quarter pannels

 

[welshpug 1,657]

nice! I've been doing similar to a friends 205, not that hard really when you get into it.

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

putting it back can be a bitch though

[welshpug 1,657]

naah, the hard bit I find is figuring where to start, the rest is easy enough and I let my mate Anton do that bit anyway
