Well as of today she is more or less done, all the hard work has payed off and i took it up and down the street where the unit is, it certainly feels quick! Will be waiting for the nicer weather before it comes out to play all the time, will be taking it to a few shows etc (thats if the rear of it doesnt let the front down, that will be this years winter project come october).

Thanks for all the comments along the way, most good a few not happy that i messed with a last of the line 1.9 205.

Fitted my new wheels today, sorted out a few hoses and cables where they needed to be re routed and generaly tidied her up. Just need to sort out an air filter.

A few pictures of her as she stands today-










The wheels which i think make the car look stunning-


Many thanks to everyone who helped me along the way with tips and hints as to what helped the conversion. Especially my painter for all the help making the bay look as smart as it does.

Heres to a nice standard looking toy in the garage next to it brother my rallye.

Well a great update to add today, as i went away for a few days i decided to come home a day early so i could get at least one of the cars working, got up this morning at 10 and set at the 205, started with this, covered in dust and general garage crap-



As you can see the dash needs putting back together all the wires needed clipping back together and tidying up-



After an hour or so i had managed this-






I then decided to give it a wash, as i was washing it i noticed the paintwork felt very rough, out popped the clay bar and i clayed the complete car to reveal it was covered in alot of red stuff, perhaps overspray, unsure where it has come from.-



After a clean and a wipe down i set about removing the snapped bolt in the drivers lower wing so i can attach my mudflap, with this all done i though it was worth a photo outside the garage-





I then went on a hundred mile drive, went into local villages then out towrds Coventry, it's amazing what buildings seem to pop up out of nowhere.

I then have just pulled up outside home and took a few snaps, need a few little niggly bits sorted then it is well and truly finished, have to say it has a great punch to it and it all seems worth the one year build.






Photos will be added later.
