welll...

 

Bought this little bad boy off cleggy.. hes asked about the car and since i think the last he saw of it there was...

melted seats

melted selector surround

melted carpets ....

....

just loads of melted stuff.

 

http://forum.205gtid...20gearbox&st=20

 

if that works thats basically what it looked like

 

since then.. theres been a few ebay bargains, some polish and metal to create my daily driver...

p.s i hate the gearbox..

 

as it arrived at mine ...

 

started and drove onto the truck after a jump with cleggy ..

got to mine put it on charge took it for a blast

thanks for the half a tank man

 

so after a new windscreen and a plated sunroof..

threw on my old old alloys how come 17's fit under the archs with plenty of room and what seems no scrape but it doesnt on a xs ?? i thought the shells would be the same ..

 

plated roof overlayed with some vinyl just to make it look pretty

bits of rust.. i know... i also know i didnt bend the plate to the roof so its a bit flat and doesnt follow the curvature .. ah well too late now ha

seats i replaced the 1.6 cloth ones withh... either from a ford xr3 or something or my old man said something about vauxhall gsi colours i dunno 50 quid whos complaining...

replaced the carpet and used some left over roof carbon to do the dash cover some of the melted bits you can see ther selectors still screwed and the surround .. impossible to find..

 

toookk agggeeesss :/

 

passed m.o.t in febuary i think .. 2nd time around ... couple of nice holes in the floorpan, plated them up and centre box and backbox was blowing ..so i chopped out the centre box welded in some pipe and threw on a backbox (allthough its redonkulous )..

 

ive been driving it everyday since then really .. the coilpack packed in a couple of weeks ago and the torque converter is on its way out makes some funny noises and clunks..

 

parked outside

anywas thats how it sits now mirrors were thanks to tescos carpark.. and bonnet is raised just because i can along with the following bits ..

dash top..

 

haha

some kid called it a power rangers badge .. i got offended.

 

 

As it stands it takes me to work and brings me home ...

the real problem is the gearbox...

I HATE IT..

 

Ive looked up on here and its been done and seems simple..

 

clutch and flywheel - any reccomendations??

gearbox- preferably 1.6

linkage's and stick..

clutch pedal and cable (theres a rubber bung in the pedal box )

manual brake pedal

and ill need to remove the inhibitor switch or link it together ( just above the front strut top)

 

i would like to know.. how much of this is true .. and can i use the stick box bit from my xs and if i have to, any other parts?? ...

 

thankyouu
