Uberderv just read your build, thats a mint job you've done. Thought you'd done it the hard way by buying just a motor but fair play its spot on what you've managed and the car is far tidier than mine. I wish I'd modified the loom like you did but I wanted the conversion done as fast as possible so I could drive it so I just whacked everything in and now im regretting that decision..
Yea my 306 was lovely, fond memories of that car but it was too easy to drive fast so I got into a lot of trouble, and when I lived in Coventry it got broken into nonstop, 3 times in one year. It was killing me to see her get repeatedly damaged (new doors one time, new locks a different time etc) so I had to take her off the road and get a less desirable car, had a couple of other PSA lovelies before settling on a Merc Ml as the daily driver and the 205 as the toy.
Poodle my list of jobs to finish is massive, nearly 2 a4 pages so probably about 50 jobs in total to get it to the stage where it should pass an mot without anyone realising its not a standard 205, all those little jobs that don't get taken into account like properly securing the battery in the back, securing the brake flexy hoses to the body, mounting the clocks more securely.... Working through it all when I get the time.
Don't expect it to look anything like as nice as uberdervs car, mine is a bog standard 1.8d so there's no fancy gti trim or nice paintwork. Every panel is dented, the arches are monstrous. She looks like a 20 year old Peugeot hatchback not a show car!
So this was when I first did the conversion and finally had it running without any problems.
306 radiator with brackets that took all of 5 minutes to design and weld - it was just about 'getting it done', now its about 'getting it right'
