Re: my "other" project

well change of plans yet again,

after the incident with the paint going tits up ive decided to not have a red 205, reasoning - it goes orange its a pain to look after it shows every detail and imperfections and lastly ive never wanted a red one

so ive decided on white, always wanted a white one but they were all overpriced.

started by hammeriting the underside, wheelarches and bits around the front (harder wearing bits)


sloshed some inside aswell, covers quite well

dunno where this bit goes

you can see the bits up front ive done here


started getting dark and i hadnt taken many pics, ill upload some more in the morning, ive been degresing and sanding down the engine bay and so far havent found any nasties, going to rattlecan the engine bay and 2k the rest of the car.

gotta drop the subframe off clean the whole lot (already removed like a kilo of shi7) replace the steering rack gaiters TREs and check all the bushes on the ARB and TCAs

Re: my "other" project

White cars are my fav!

Are you sticking with the 1.9 and running the 1.6 gearbox?

Re: my "other" project

, all came off so easily, the french got something right ,

bushes are in good nick but a few are starting to tear at the edges etc so may just polybush the lot, but that leaves me with another choice, keep the TCAs or get new ones with fresh balljoints?

steering rack is stupidly light, never realised how much difference there was between non PAS and PAS
going to try and attack the rack gaitors tomorrow and get new rod ends ordered.
