lol. yeah traffic was pretty busy today. not usually like that. I would have puled in for a chat but I've been in a real mad rush all day and was meeting a mate in halfords to get some stuff on trade.
205 is cherry red. I'd much rather a miami blue tho. H reg, no interior past the B pillar, 1.9 speedlines, bonnet pins, drums on the back and the quarter badges wil read "1.9 Mi16" instead of "1.6 GTi". I've only seen a handful of 205 GTi's around here. one was a black Mi16 conversion with no grille, there's a white 1.9 on 16" or 17" multispokes that parks outside rowena tools often, and there was a miami blue 1.9 around for a bit too, but always full of chavs.
As it is we finished the wiring on it yesterday, but took out the whole ECU and sensor loom this afternoon to completely strip it down and reorganise it so it sits in the engine bay better and more out of the way.
The rad that was in it didn't seem to fit, and looking at pics of other 205s I thought maybe it was an oversize jobby as it's non standard, so I bought a new standard one which was the same size... the car was bent inwards around where the rad fans sit making it impossible to get it in... nothing a few minutes with a lump hammer and crowbar couldn't fix
.
all the water hoses and oil hoses are set, though I've had to plumb out the oil cooler for now as I'm a few hoses short but I'll fix that in a few weeks... just have to be careful not to overheat it. after that it's reconnect the throttle cable, clutch cable, speedo cable and refit the dash & steering wheel, then take it to get the handbrake cables fitted (I hate working on drums!) and get an MOT and it's on the road! I'll take you out for a spin in it sometime if I see you about.
. I've spent my whole day running around buying parts for my 205 Mi16. handbrake cables, engine oil, radiator, throttle cable, clutch cable, speedo cable, cable ties etcetc. should be running by tomorrow evening and ready for wakestock a week today.
