[project] Peugeot 205 Gti - Trackcar Project.

[SwedishBob 24 1 Cars]

Since I bought my first 205 back in -99 I have dreamt about a 205 Mi16. It's now time to make that dream come true.

It all started this summer when I found a non sunroof 205 to the right price.

 

I hade own the car in one day when I started to modify it. The idea is that it should be a road legal track car.

[SwedishBob 24 1 Cars]

Then I had a break on a couple of months before it was time for the engine and the rest of the car....

[Powers 13]

Looking good, any idea on the final specification?

[SwedishBob 24 1 Cars]

The specifications is think to be something like this:

Will start with a standard 1,9 Mi16 engine just to get the car running. Then will I build a more exotic engine later.

Have bought my self a 205 that already is converted. Will pick many parts from that one.

 

It have 306 S16 brakes so those will be taken as well.

 

Then have my brother bought a 309 GTI. Will take the front wishbones and rear beam from it.

The interior will be as little as possible. Rollcage, two bucket seats and a steering wheel.

all seems like a lot of swapping over when the silver shell looks nicer to start with ?

Have got that reaction from many peoples. The thing is that the red one have a nicer body.

Some rust at the right front wheel is all. The silver has much more and it also has a sun roof.

But I really like the silver color so I might going to re-spray the red one in silver.

So what have happend the last month? Well not so much....

 

Got some pictures from Grahamrally regarding seam welded bodies.

Seems to be a guy that knows what he is talking about so I'm going to follow his suggestions.

Why not drive the silver mi for a while and do somthing way out on your red beast!!!

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

always nice to have those .

 

i presume they came off a 405?

 

 

however, they are SL341 (not 434) and 7J15 (not 6.75J15) but that might prove to be even better .

I already have two cars that I'm using so I don't need a third one.

I bought them from a guy on the Swedish peugeot forum so I don't know which car they have been on.

I might skip the speedlines and going for 19" Magnesium...

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

wow, that would be nice!

 

centerlock though...

 

but i've recently been thinking of a solution and it could be easily done via custom, but not too special, wheel spacers .

The biggest problem is that I only have one wheel. Comes from a old BTCC/STCC Volvo

Will grind the rest next week and then start to seam weld the body.

[SwedishBob 24 1 Cars]

I have now started to seam weld the body.

 

Started with the engine bay.

 

Rust had eaten a piece of the car so it had to be repaired.

 

Remember. Always use a proper safety equipment!

[Dj_mini 7]

What did you use to re move the underseal?

 

Looks a craking job you have done.

This is what I have used:

 

It have taken me about 3 whole days to get the body clean. You need to have some defect in your head for doing a thing like this.

Peoples says that you can save about 13 kg if you get rid of all underseal.

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

why two sets of arches then?

[SwedishBob 24 1 Cars]

You know the trackdays in Sweden can be abit tough.

No, the other set is for another guy on the swedish pug forum.
