[track_prep] Latest Pics Of My Laser Green 205 Rally Car

[Edp 67 3 Cars]

Looks like a top job. Lovely colour too.

 

 

Good work!!

[yorkdave 1]

in response to "where from and how much" it was made in my dad's shed by me! used the original pedal box and cut the guts out of it and welded a 3mm steel plate over the hole, cut holes for two master cylinders (about £50 each, but could get them cheaper), then used a pivot kit from demon tweeks (about £40, although would make my own using a spherical bearing next time) then just sort of welded it up, i used no special tools just a welder, hand held drill and a round file. any one could make one i reckon. it is however totally untested so i will let you know how it turns out. on the plus side it did bleed up fine and they seem to work when we push the car around the yard. hoping to put the engine tomorrow and be running by monday!

Have you done some modifcations to the bulk head?

 

Or am i seeing things.

[yorkdave 1]

i have made the pedal box mounting double thickness to add strength as in my opinion, fantastic as the 205 is, it is made out of monkey metal! i have also cut out and made my own part around where the manifold will sit.

What was the inspiration for that rocker cover?

they had the covering in stock and i thought it would look cool! i reckon i was right!

[hexhamstu 9]

I wasn't originally sure about the colour but it's starting to look really good now it's being pieced back together.

Looking good.

 

Where did you get the rocker cover?

[yorkdave 1]

its my original rocker cover which has then been coated by York Hydro Graphics then laqured. i'm well pleased to be honest. here is a more close up pic.

Looking better and better Dave.

[Guest Tommy_106rallye]

ye the rocker cover was done by my work !

i glad he got it done, took some talking into, it looks amazing and also individual !

That rocker cover is the craziest thing ever.

 

Brilliant!

i want a crazy rocker cover!!!!

[aw11_hgt 0]

Nice machine - are you replacing the entire front end with new?? or did you want more airflow??

[yorkdave 1]

i want the car to look totally standard so i have just refurbed everything on the front end. My mate had also found me an XLD badge for the boot. hehe! watch out jolly boyes she will be back soon!

 

if anyone wants a rocker cover or just about anything else done in any coating then you should contact Tommy_106rallye. it was him and his boss who did all the paint and coatings on my car and i would recommend them to every one, they really take pride in their work and do a fantastic job!

[aw11_hgt 0]

Thats what I like about the 205 - the parts are plentiful so to rebuild the front end isn't too damaging on the wallet! Should look pretty much showroom when finished.

here are a few pics of my finished 205 mi16, just been at pickering show with her so it is a rare climpse of her clean and polished.

let me know what you think.

[pugpete1108 62 1 Cars]

very nice , see you have still got a sterio , can you hear it??

also are they fishys on the cam cover? crazy

i see you have relocated your battery to the boot ,could you tell me where you earthed it too? and what guage cable was used? i tried to find this out the other day but no one really knew . any probs with fumes?

mine is about 2 years off being finished

[Dan Ingram 1]

Looks like you've been a busy chap. Fantastic looking car, loving the rocker cover and the XLD badges

[pugboyracer 3]

Loving the fish!

[t16ryan 1]

very nice, what sorta power? engine mods?

ps get rid of stereo

[yorkdave 1]

you can just hear the tunes.

i used 35mm battery cable, the positive goes all the way to the starter motor and then has another link to the power box and alternator. The negative lead goes through a isolator switch in the dash then to the earth on the passenger side inner wing, then an earth strap to the top of the gearbox.

you can use thinner cable but i wanted to use the biggest possible to prevent voltage drop. also you can earth it to the boot floor beside the battery but a mate of mine who did had alot of trouble!

 

it went on the rollers at bogg brothers yesterday and got 155bhp at the wheels! all i really know is that it ripped a 180bhp leon turbo to bits today on a back road!
