What Have You Done To Your 205 Today?

[Jolly Green Monster 51 1 Cars]

It was a cat c and rotten.

 

Tried selling wheels and no one seemed interested

Mine is a cat c and rusty and will be fixed

I've properly wired in (soldered all joints) a wiring kit and subwoofer

Then I made a custom click fit false floor (no screws or bolts) to have a large amp while still having a boot.

If I could workout how to post pics off my phone I would lol

Just need to check the rear fog light though as it's either the bulb or the wiring that's at fault as after checking it today it must have stopped working at some point in the last year - not bad for the only fault on 1 23 year old car though.

 

Well I jinxed it. Low temp setting on the fan appears to have gone today So long as nothing else goes wrong before the MOT i'll be happy lol

Spent a good half hour fitting Bendix front pads, that was just sliding them into the caliper, not the whole process! Haynes manual shows different way up to Servicebox. Still not 100% whether the friction material should line up or be offset?? But they only went in one way.

 

Then had the joy of sheering the little lugs out of my locking wheel bolt key. I've now stripped off the complete strut, hub and wheel and am going to get someone to weld a nut on to the head of the bolt tomorrow.

 

Not the best day really.

I managed to machine polish the car today, only quickly as its not worth spending too much time on, applied a bit of polish and a coat of wax and she is looking better than ever, in need of a respray next year though hopefully and a full rebuild with a bit of luck.

 

I also started removing the red gti stickers from the rear quarter badges as I have some new ones to go on asap, slow progress!

I.....put my mountain bike inside the 205.

Put £40 of petrol in

Thrashed it to the South Downs.

Rode my MTB, put back in the car.

Thrashed the 205 all the way home.

 

A good day.

After weeks of prevaricating finding other things to do and generally putting it off I took the spot welder to my new rear panel and welded it to the car.

Took the radiator out ready for the new genuine one I pick up tomorrow.

[stu8v 68 1 Cars]

20 quid for a genuine radiator. How can you go wrong :-)

[Anthony 1,003]

Looked out at the cloudless blue sky this morning, filled the tank and took the 205 for a spirited drive to work.

 

First proper drive since putting the GTi-6 engine back in and - VSS playing silly buggers excluded - it didn't miss a beat
