Just giving an update so the 205 shell has gone to Scotland to be a track car so funds are ready for a new body kit as i fitted the GTI 180 rear axle with solid mount kit and set it to the correct height apart from with the 7 1/2 rims fitted the wheels are touching the arches so looking to get the Pam Am body kit for it to gain the extra width at the front and rear..
Stripped the shell of all its wiring and heater internally and wow what a great pile of rubbish there was......
Dummy fitted the engine in last night with the 206 subframe and it just will not fit or line up correctly so after talking to a fellow racer he has used a 306 subframe in his and changed the mounting points so will be installing the engine on the gearbox and top mount then lining up the subframe so i can get the drive shafts as straight as possible when the weight is on the wheels as this should help the car stop destroying drive shafts off the start.... also think i am going to have to move the strut tops back to ensure i have castor on the struts.
Good thing with this is i can fit the 306 drive shafts and the gear linkage looks ok as well but should i keep the BE1 gearbox or go with the 6 speed box as i think the LSD will swap over to this box???
will post some pics when i get chance....
