Looks cool so far, should be pretty rapid too!

Can you stick up more pics of the cage please!

[Alastairh 47]

Sweet.

 

I have such a soft spot for shiny white 205s!

 

Shall crack on with this loom shortly, will be good to see it be given some abuse

good work dude - looks lush

Cracking work so far, however that new seat frame looks a wee bit iffy, in the respect that the material used looks from the pic very thin, it needs to be 3-4mm thick to withstand a hefty shunt (heaven forbid)

thanks for the comments guys keep them coming,ill get more pics up asap. should of got them up ages ago!

the frame i welded for the seat is 3 or 4mm thick steel(cant remember) and it bolts on to standard frames.(yes abit of a bodge but it was a trial fitt really........will do for now)

looks good

 

what else u got planned for it.

[All Praise The GTI 3]

polycarb windows should be on their way, and i splashed out on some carbon fibre doorcards and rears to finnish off the interior. just cause its built as a track car doesnt mean it cant look pretty(especially as its now had a full spray.

the engine is in and has a perterT reground inlet cam and ive some of colin satchells bodies to go on along with custom management when its done.

i cant wait to get it running, ive never driven a 16v 205 before so it should be interesting to say the least! just waiting on the wiring and ive got to make up or buy an exhaust and off we go

what are u doing with the dash board

[All Praise The GTI 3]

all interior gone, as is lower bits of dash and glovebox(as it wouldnt open with cage anyway!) top main part of dash is still staying as standard, i dont mind it

[jonnie205 1]

[All Praise The GTI 3]

i was surprised i never got the:

''why did you strip a perfectly good car?'' comment

maybe this will provoke it, me and a mate spotted her at a scrppy earlier:

may it rest in pieces...............

[ajm-e30 0]

thats coming along nicely mate

[All Praise The GTI 3]

thanks. its pretty much done........................apart from:

connect clutch and throttle cable

sort out my engine mounts

sort out the mc

bleed brakes

plumb in cooling system

fit poly windows when they come

and the biggest job the WIRING

probably more lil jobs

but apart from that its a runner!

[ajm-e30 0]

[All Praise The GTI 3]

i have been quite slack on the photo front and getting it posted up on here
