MY 205 GTI-6 Supercharged Track car
well as some of you know i bought a cheap 205 to us for track days
body work is very good
though the same cant be said about the running of the engine
i thought it was just a timing issue, but still after weeks it;s not 100%
though it's much much better than when i picked it up
here some pics from when i bought it
here are some pics i took of it this evening

then the stripping starts, not much yet, as i dont have buckets to put in yet, so i've left the front seats in
got some brand new Eagle F1's ready to be fitted for wet track days
and a bargain at only 140 delivered for the 4
and here are some spare parts i've already sourced to try and cure the running issue

nice one spiky- got the front end back on the 206 so noddy should be able to come back soon (once i've had a tidy up
)- give you a bit more space car looks mint inside

So its just a joiner Ummmmmm whot size are the bolts 8mm (ie standard battery cable size starter end) I need some thing to simaler to surply the live wire that are on the top of the battery as standard on the cossies
I was thinking the Blocks that you can get for stereo sytems that take thick wire that then slits into 4 ect
You got a web addy for the place you get you bits from
Also thats my batterys sitting
i got mine looks lol
