[car_restoration] 405 T16 Restoration

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Thanks guys. It's been little progress lately as I've bought a house with double garage (50m2) and I'm in a process of selling my apartment.

 

But I'm soon finished fixing one dent on the roof of the T16, and when that's done it's painting time

[johniban 59 1 Cars]

cant wait to see it painted, looks awesome

[JeffR 51]

Car is looking great. What colour will it be?

Loving it mate, keep up the good work.

As per previous comments, the usual B1ack_Mi16 / Norweigen dedication and attention to detail.

 

Mandic's (Ziga's) 405 T16 on the EuroTrip in 2009 was very impressive; this should be spectacular.

Wow!

Did not know you had yet another wild build on the way, only been aware of the 2.3-liter 205

Do you have any interior to this? If not, I have one very pretty black full leather interior from a mi16x4 (Seats, door trim and steering wheel) soft and fine leather still, very slightly wear on the driver seat but no holes. looks very nice.
Scream out if you need it. unless I will put it up for sale soon, but thought you would get the first crack at it

 

Keep up the good work! love reading building threads like this!

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Sadly I don't think I'lll have it ready for 2014....

 

It would be absolutely cool to join such a trip though!

j0s5: Thanks, yes I have this one, and also another 205 that is stripped down.

 

Regarding seats I might be interested, but you got any pics? Are they for Phase 1 or Phase 2 car?

 

Btw: did you send me an email about som TuV papers some time ago? I might have forgotten all about it, beeing ultra busy at work these days.

Nice! looking forward to when they all are finished!

 

Sorry for the late response! been enjoying my holiday(finally some good weather)

 

I was at my garage the other day and took some pics. (they are still in the car and not been cleaned as you can see, just whiped of the worst dust)

I believe they are Ph1 as the car is a 1990mod. (i don't know when the ph2 came out)

 

Took pictures from different angels of the worn bit on the drivers seat. Let me know if you want some different pics.

As i said, the leather is still soft. and damn! they are comfortable to bad they don't fit straigt into a 205 or 309

Yes! I asked if you could send me a copy of the TuV papers and the diff on 1.6 and 1.9 gti, regarding my 205 8v turbo build no stess!

Awesome resto, great write-up!

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Finished spraying the car with sanding primer:

 

 

Found some cheap 19" geniune peugeot wheels for my 407 also, they were not in good condition, so I repainted them and they turned out mint

 

House that caused a lot of delay

 

And garage where T16 and my 205 will live

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Started assembling the engine now

 

 

Got a oil pump spacer from petert

 

Pistons in

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Painted the camcover

And engine compartment

Camcover after sanding down the ribs and one more layer of clear coat

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Sprayed base coat

 

 

 

Then clearcoat was shot and car taken out of spray booth. I'm pleased enough with the paint job considering I did everything myself.

 

 

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Now I've started on the drivetrain. Transferbox first thing to be attacked.

 

Going to install uprated differentials and input shaft from ATD Performane.

 

 

 

Also starting to look at the gearbox output shaft. I need to have some machining done to install 2 shear pins in addition to the 10 bolts.

This shaft is also new and improved from ATD Performance. It shall handle about engine torque of 800Nm in 2n'd gear upwards. 1st gear will probably not be a problem as I guess the boost pressure never gets the time to build up before one would need to change gear.

 

 

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

I finished up the transferbox, and started to find the gearbox parts I had lying around.

 

 

Installed new bearings on input shaft

 

 

More assembly

 

 

Now box is assembled and ready apart from the output shaft that needs machining first...

 

Also changed the input shaft seal

[jord294 87]

Fantastic mate!

 

Keep up the good work

[nveeate 78]

Coming on well!

 

I know most of it will be covered, but are you going to paint the inner tub red aswell?

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

A little update. Long time since last now

 

Engine is now assembled:

 

​

 

​

 

​

 

And I've started to do bodywork on the doors. Was actually quite a lot of job and I'm still not entirely finished, missing a layer of sanding primer still and the paint itself.

 

​

 

Inside done with primer

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

I've also put brake servo and master cylinder into place, and I'm at this point finished making up ned brake lines for the car. Took some time and effort that too.

 

​

 

First one made.. and notice all the sanding dust on my freshly black painted parts

​

 

Also added the hydraulic fluid return hoses while I was working under the rear subframe.

 

​

 

Rear brakelines in place

 

​

 

And also the fronts

 

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Started trialfitting some more parts to engine compartment:

 

​

 

And some resonance mats for the cabin

​

 

Foam on top before orginal mat goes into place

​

 

Also finishing the fuel lines and changing the broken fuel level sender in the tank

 

​

 

Fuel tank with fuel lines

 

And new fuel pump in refurbed bracket (this is just the feed-pump)

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Refurbed and slightly modified the height level sensor rod so it would be easier to remove and adjust later on to set the ridee height.

​

 

Also got hold of a Holset HY35W turbo which should be able to pump around 450bhp.

 

​

 

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Also had some Injector Dynamic 1000cc injectors delivered, so that should make it possible to max out everything else and still run E85 without fuelling problems.

 

​

 

Also got my ATD Performancec output shaft back from machining (press fit pins between shaft and crownwheel should help keep it all fixed).

 

​

 

So then it was time for final assembly of the gearbox

 

​

 

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

I also magically managed to hold of a complete car loom and electronic speedometer (these are T16 specific) from Edgar Hadicke in NL. He's been to great help!

 

Complete loom

​

 

Instrument (only T16 shows to 240km/t I believe)

​

 

Brembos at front now with brake hoses connected

​

[B1ack_Mi16 67]

Flex fuel sensor arrived, will tell ECU the ethanol content of the fuel, hence beeing able to blend between 98 oct and E85 at whatever ratio possible.

 

​

 

Trialfitting clutch plate

​

 

And had to get the exhaust manifold flange machined as it was really warped like a banana

 

​

 

Finally decided to start off with the standard clutch, mainly because I didn't find any better alternative. Hopefully it'll hold enough torque for a while
