This section will show how the engine bay has been seem welded and strengthened.
reason for this work is basically a 205 was never designed for hard track use and certainly not for high powered engines as this picture will show the strut top after a bit of hard cornering .
see how its started to dome.
so this is where the strength needs to be added
area gets prep'ed
now plates get tacked into position
everything gets checked making sure there 100% and then fully seem welded into position
now while preping the engine bay to seem weld i found a couple of rust patches so decided to cut them out and plate them up properly
section cut out and ready for a plate to be made and welded in place
now its not like you can just go out and buy in a section to replace it , so a section has to made up now for this all that was required was a bit of sheet metal , plasma cutter , square and a hammer
now a rough size is cut a shape can then be made to fit
now must be trial fitted
and when happy with the fit tack welded into place and then seem welded
and the rest of the engine bay seem welded
