Turning a 205 1.9 into a Tolman Edition

[Big_Wak 21]

Hope so….. still work to be done but it’s coming along nicely.

Some progress updates of my Tolman Edition - coming along nicely.....

 

Some welding has been required here and there and still some to do but its all good work in progress.

 

The chaps at Tolman Motorsport are doing a splendid job.

Few bits to cut out and will be good as new 

[Big_Wak 21]

It’s all fully in hand with the lads at Tolman.

 

Paint next

[Leslie green 109]

Nice repairs when do you expect it to get painted ?

[Big_Wak 21]

I just wanted to keep the O.E colour….

I'm on the lookout for a 205 Turbo Technics car if anyone knows of a car that might be for sale.

That's a good bit of progress but these guys should be very familiar with the workings of a 205 by now ,must be like a 205 grotto in there with shiny new parts 

[Big_Wak 21]

Excellent progress, really rapid in just a week. 
 

still looking for a 205 1.9 Turbo Technics for project number 2, ideallly a PH2.

Seems that Friday is update day!

 

Today it’s engine work. Enjoy

one question. are you getting their "leaf suspension"?

I know it was listed in their shop, but now i can't find it even if it kills me :/

[Big_Wak 21]

Leaf suspension???

[n0_b0dy_ce 1]

that is why i put it into quotes... I saw something that is not torsion, or is there something else done to the rear suspension?

sorry but English is not my 1st language, so I probably didn't use the right term.

[Big_Wak 21]

The rear suspension retains the regular rear beam but utilises Tolman specific torsion bars, dampers etc

What is Tolman specific torsion bars? Maybe just uprated bars bought in??

[Big_Wak 21]

I seen some uprated bars being fabricated when I was there last year so yes Tolman specific.
