did a bit of playing with the saxo today as the 205 is up at my mates garage and hes doing all the head gasket on it for me

 

anyway heres how the sackofs*itxo is standing currently

 

 

and its all good apart from some random tart graffiting my car in the dirt

haha love you really saucey

 

few mini bits i didnt get pics of the engine loom is off so literally now to get it out its driveshafts out unbolt the mounts and pull out the 16v up front but im not going to do that in the street ill wait till i have the car up the side of my house like

and the front brakes have been removed to stop them rusting to death like

 

anyway main reason the car is up on stands is following in the pics

 

how the day started

 

few minutes some swearing and a knuncle getting removed

 

brakes and stuff stripped off

 

 

and heres why its all been stripped

new beam (not that the old one was nakered lol) with polyrace bushes in off a 106 gti

 

 

and all the brakes on the new beam which ill probably with even more swearing fit tomorrow

 

 

ive not fitted the one dust cover as theres a snapped bolt in the beam so im going to just take the other off

they dont really do much anyway lol

and ive found all the little body parts i need off a lad i knows car as all he wants is the engine so sweet

even getting a drivers door as it doesnt have a massive dent in it :A:

and the overheating issues continue lol!

 

no matter how many new cooling system parts i fit it finds a way to kill itself

my rad i had fitted about 3 weeks ago has deformed at the top meaning the rad cap doesnt fit snugly so it pissed a load of coolant out whilst i was driving and then all of a sudden the stat opened it just emptied the rad and over heated

 

im going to try and blag a free radiator as this one is about 3 weeks old

 

ive also picked up this (for free )

 

 

1587cc 16v tu5j4 bottom end

going to pocket the pistons and use it with my xsi/rallye head and dellortos

so now i can build the motor up and then just drop it in when im done and im not messing splitting engines in the car

well not much to update atm on the new motor build but it will pick up a bit soon hopefully as i found myself a new job

 

however yesterday the little 205 had a paddy at me yet again

 

 

 

the part at fault was the dizzy

 

 

that shaft should be one part right through the housing i think

[AlexB 0]

courtesy of swordfish 210 i have a dizzy coming soon

cheers mate

passenger strut out (ready for new hub bearing)

sound deadening out

wiring all rerouted away from the track rod

alarm wiring rerouted tidier
