What Have You Done To Your 205 Today?

[jeremy 71]

Rolled mine out the garage today. Its amazing how the rain helped to wash some of the five year old dust off. I think I might give it a proper wash then put it back again. Decisions decisions!

Discovered that Autotek filler primer reacts horrifically with Peugeot paint, sanded it all back down and re primed with a different brand.

i have a radio again! its the simple things that bring me joy.

Filler primer reacts with just about anything you put on it. Even more filler primer. Bloody awful stuff.

 

Acid etch primer is a lot better.

Sprayed my cheap chrome bumper trims FZN metallic grey. Griffe-tastic!

Cursed the builder of a 205.

 

Many times.

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

that guy must be the most cursed guy ever lived.

 

Sorted out my central locking today, wires had seperated all over the car.

 

Only complaint I have of the ebay cheap sets the wiring is terrible.

[welshpug 1,678]

Naah, its a modified car, excessive needless cable tie usage!

Gave mine another good dose of looking at, while squeezing past it in garage to get to my cleaning stuff to give the s3 some detailing

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Stone chipped some areas where I had removed some surface rust underneath. Fitted L/H refurbished quarter badges. Broke into passenger door as it wouldn't unlock, s*it it's easy to break into a 205! Fitted a new ignition and lock set so everything now works off one key. Applied some under bonnet stickers and applied tyre pressure sticker to drivers door. Fitted new coin tray catch. Fitted good condition 1.6 Be1 gearknob. Removed broken glove box lid, couldn't find my replacement one Started rubbing down tailgate where it's suffered lacquer peel.

Fitted my strutbrace today only to find the bonnet hits. Also took my washer bottle off to clean and spray the brackets.

Laughed hard when me and Dan tried some rally springs and raised the ride height by 4 inches

I made them.... it now looks nice and clean, correction just clean! Followed by a jump start and safely back into the garage. The funny thing was I wound the window down to talk to a friend then forgot to do it back up again until I'd turned the car off. Doh!

Stopped the RAIN roof leaking

[cRaig 273 1 Cars]

Fitted my griffe-a-like strips all round. Quite pleased. With yellow driving lights and yellow headlight bulbs, I think it looks very French. I'm also farming a good amount of "barn find" dust, as can be seen on the bonnet!

Today I mustered up the enthusiasm to attack these blighters:

 

 

I'm ashamed to admit I've been putting off touching them for a long time as I had a feeling they would shear, but luck was on my side as after some gentle teasing with an appropriately sized Irwin Bolt Grip they both came out fine. I'd highly recommend everyone buying a set for their toolbox. I think the car must have been glad I was finally actually doing something to it this year so decided to cooperate

 

Luck was also on my side when I made a boo boo getting the car in the air. I used two axle stands under the beam tube and then jacked the front up each side at a time and had the whole car on 4 stands. I didn't double check the rears were OK when it had been shifted over when I raised the front. It wasn't until I was laying under the car that I noticed one rear stand was actually not making contact at all by a couple of inches and the other had shifted over and was hanging totally by a few threads of a lower shock bolt. Had I banged around without realising I'd have quite easily lost my good looks. I usually double, triple check everything is central but in this occasion for some reason I didn't.

removed the boot lock

Returned from another 700 mile round trip to Scotland, however her unreliability record has now been blemished by the fact that a few bulbs in the dash and the heater controls have now given up the ghost. On the bright side it is now on stealth mode....he he.

[Stephen W 12 1 Cars]

Took mine for an mot today. It passed with no advisories so I'm well chuffed. It's finally going to get some use now.

[Rock Lobster 28]

Made some room around it by selling some Goodwood seats, And found out that my boot light was blowing bulbs due to a bad earth, now sorted.

 

Started looking for more bits to move on to make room for a resto hopefully starting in the winter!

[309jazzpanda 41]

Looked at it in the compound and thought of fixing it. Then common sense kicked in

[dcc 855]

Laughed hard when me and Dan tried some rally springs and raised the ride height by 4 inches

 

Old:

 

 

rally springs!

Just bought a carpet for it.

[Tom Fenton 1,562]

Got fed up of laying under it scraping underseal off. So decided to build the beam for it for a change.

[Rock Lobster 28]

Looking lovely Tom, are they all the correct OE colours do you know for all the brackets, arms, bars etc?
