Had a pretty good day today!

 

Firstly gave the new 205 a clean and its first mod!

 

 

Love it, but needs lowering badly lol!

 

Then back onto the other 205!

 

Wolze has stripped down most the bay for me ready for it to get sprayed tomorrow!

 

 

Can't wait to finally get it sorted!

 

Back on 4 wheels!

 

 

Then Wolze dropped a package round on his way home! big thanks to Rob for this!

 

 

My nice new headgasket so the engine can get built back up!

 

Also had news from Sandy that my Throttle Bodies were complete, so gave Colin a call, sorted out payment and now they will get sent out next week. YES!

 

Its all finally coming back togeather!

Evening ladies!

 

Made a bit of progress today!

 

Picked the car back up last night !

 

And my new subframe and arms turned up at work yesterday!

 

So i set about removing the old, which was a piece of piss apart from snapping a bolt lol!

 

Out.

Then decided it was a bit to dirty for my liking so got the power tools and elbow grease on the go!

Spot on job by Colin and Sandy!

 

Cannot wait to get it going now!

 

Excited is not the word! I was like a kid at Christmas when they turned up at work!

[Sandy 189]

Let's hope it fits under the bonnet!

[welshpug 1,626]

more space in a 205 for a decent length tract on a TU engine?

 

 

might be an idea to re-size those images BTW, they are HUUUUUUUGE!!!!

[jonnygoodhand 0]

Bring on the trumpets!

 

 

This is really turning into an epic. Loving it so far!

I'll do my best to make them fit Sandy!

They have resized for me! Photobucket refuses to work for me atm, so used a different host!

Thanks very much!

[cybernck 400 1 Cars]

The problem is in the file size, not image size - please re-read the Rules & Guidelines.

[Steffrallye 0]

[Sandy 189]

He's got the longer of our two standard sizes.
