Ok, here's the main update.

As you can see, my pug's been on the Atkins diet this week! I was hoping to be fitting the coilovers this weekend, but unfortunately they won't be ready for collection until tomorrow. So I thought i'd get a few odd jobs done that would need doing at some point anyway!

First off, a complete strip down! You cans ee most of the interior above, but there is also the other front seat and back seats etc in storage! All in all I haven't removed a lot of weight though (i'm a bit dissapointed at how light Peugeot's cheap plastics are ) and the sound-deadening consisted of foam (think carpet underlay!!) so no weight lost there either, but it looks a whole lot neater now!





Absolutely everything has come out! Roof lining, seatbelts, rear wiper, all sound deadening - there's a lot less to go flying around the the event of a bump now! There was also some silver stuff on the boot floor that someone had fitted Took about 3 hours to remove it all!! It was like tar with foil on top - and my hands are now covered in papercuts from it!!

During the stripping I also found some rot



It is the usual top of the windscreen jobby, it's odd though how it has only rotted the inner skin - though outer skin is nearly perfect. I guess the sunroof must have been leaking for the water to get there and settle! Either way I will probably just tidy it up and leave it, as a rollcage will provide all the reinforcement that area needs.

So the next project is to remove the sunroof!

As you can see from this photo, they are not a small affair on a 205!



After a bit of umming I was going to leave it in, as I probably wouldn't notice any difference from the weight lost from it. But if you remember my old Saph, you will know what i'm like when I get spanner happy! (I put a load of washing in, went into the garage with no intention other than have a look, and by the time the washing was done the whole interior was stripped - including the dashboard - and I was photographing everything ready to put on eBay! )

So out the entire sunroof mechanism came and it has now left me with this lovely hole:



Hopefully tomorrow I will have plated over this. Also got a few other bits and bobs to do if I get time Still waiting for my mate to make up the subframes for my buckets as well!

I bet it weighs in at well under 800kg as it stands right now!
