[race_prep] 205 1.9 8V Hillclimb Car

[alexcrosse 124]

went last night, got all the lengths for my wiring loom so I can start building that on my bedroom wall soon, may paint it white first though, ripped down some of the wall paper hoping there was some 70's flowery stuff behind but it was just some awful brown floral rubbish, oh well.

 

anyway, got one drive shaft on, the other side I've scattered over most of the unit... so I need new needles and rollers, turns out auto ones are different (cheers anyway cam).

 

took a random picture

 

and got this to stick on it, came within 20 hours... unbelievable service from rally design yet again!

[alexcrosse 124]

all seat rails and harness mounts done, pretty much all the welding now done on the whole car, everything stripped out, decided I wont be using the dash at all, just going to run an AIM MXL Pista. Cleaned up the inside and finally got it into primer last night, one more coat of primer and mayyybe some top coat tonight, see how it goes!

 

Radiator will be finished next week at proalloy, just need to send a fan over so they can mount it properly. Brake line components are all bought, most of the wiring loom is strung up on the wall and ready to heat shrink. Got a new MBE9A4 ECU so I can run sequential injection and a better closed loop lambda strategy compared to the 967 I had, should arrive next week. Also got all the switches and relays and little bits. Got next week off so I'm going to have a real push on it, after ive recovered from Hospitality at Brixton that is! Really want it finished this month.

 

 

Cheers,

[cybernck 400 1 Cars]

What?! No way!

[Cameron 16]

Whaaaaaaat!? FYL indeed! Good job you're getting out of there soon!

[alexcrosse 124]

Thought id be getting out of there, but just got a text of the 'new landlord' saying he has found someone else, so now im broke, missing serious parts from the 205 and imminently homeless, awesome, loving life!

[TT205 42]

That is well bad, sorry to hear the news

 

You insured?

[Cameron 16]

I've got a pretty decent shed you could kip in.

 

No, decent isn't the word I'm looking for.. small, that's it.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

What an absolute kick in the c**t mate. Sounds as though they knew they were there.

[alexcrosse 124]

Ok, in and around everything being stolen off me I got it painted inside, and the top done in satin black. Sadly just as I was making the AIM mount I got a text saying I lost my house so gave up again haha. Took the cage out for a clean up, sadly no pics with seats in, phone battery was low last night, looks ok though I think. Ooo steering wheels dropped too, does feel like a weapon now.

 

 

Cheers!

You mean more parts have been had away?

[Cameron 16]

Utter pisstake.. but at least it's safe now (and on a much nicer set of wheels).

[alexcrosse 124]

yep god im gonna drive this like a lunatic when its finally done, havent had my own quick car for 2 years now since the mini

[Metal miki 2]

I've rather enjoyed reading this thread

 

I've to finish The girls 1275gt mini before I can start doing this to mine though

 

I plan to keep mine as original as possible bar the kent cam and s/s 4 branch and then the rest is s/s too but I will do an tuck on it to tidy it up, but now I wanna pull my engine out and get the bay sprayed and the engine all cleaned lol

 

I really should keep away from threads like this, they only give me ideas.

[alexcrosse 124]

Car and all associated parts and tools have been removed from the workshop now and hidden in a temporary location. Only about 5 people no where it is so if anything goes missing again at least my torture list is considerable smaller than last time!

 

on its way... with the new wheels and tyres

 

huge thanks to cam for helping move carl around!

 

seats and cage bolted in, why the thieves didnt take the seats I dont no...

 

got some more of these from jenvey which will remain locked in my draw at work until the last second! lol

 

and all the trumpets and linkage parts I have had to replace also

 

Massive set backs... but gotta keep goin'

 

Cheers,

At least we got to look well motorsport towing it around.

 

New throttle bodies look proper job too, get a few hundred padlocks for the motorsport cupboard and they should be safe.

[alexcrosse 124]

Half mounted

 

fully mounted

 

And wideband gauge mounted to, that will be all I need, dash done.

Ok, no progress will happen over the next 3 weeks, cars at its final secure location until I get my new garage / unit for it...

 

Anyway, the guys at ProAlloy dropped me a my rad off today which was good really happy with it.

 

I only bought one fan for the time being, but got them to put 2 mounts on incase I need more, not that ill be using it for any traffic stuff really!

 

 

And also got the trigger wheel raw piece water cut by aquacut UK and picked that up, great job, pretty light already for mild but its getting the inside machined to about 2-2.5mm thickness and a few faces surfaces for signal and fitment reasons.

 

Cheers,

 

Al

[Cameron 16]

Rad truly is a thing of beauty!

[alexcrosse 124]

1 month later - out of secret storage and into my new secure garage

 

 

bitches love peugeots

 

Soon as I have time ill be in the garage nailing together this wiring loom
