205 Hdi

Struggling to find a lot of my photos, really worried I've properly lost them in some hidden folder on an old computer


So I'll confuse things by posting randomly instead of in order of the build!



The car had a very raw feel when I was driving it and I wanted more refinement so I took all the sound deadening out of the 306 and put it on top of the 205 sound deadening under the carpet. Then took insulation for under laminate flooring and laid it over the top, working in sections and taping it down to the backing on the original deadening. This gave triple deadening under the carpet and on the bulkhead and once I had it all fairly compressed and taped down the carpet didn't sit too high.

Once I had the deadening down I could map the loom back out on the floor and bulkhead, got everything in place then secured it and got the carpet back down over it. The carpet sits about an inch higher than normal on the floor but you wouldn't know it, its just not as snug a fit as it should be around the sill areas.

Oddly enough it was great fun cleaning the carpet once it was out, it was so good to have a chance to really get the carpet properly clean

The grey stuff on the bulkhead is the laminate flooring insulation before it gets taped down. Dangling down the windscreen is the auto wiper sensor which I superglued to the windscreen, it stuck on fine and worked like it was supposed to until one cold day when it just popped off... Need to get one of the original brackets from a windscreen

I see the air con compressor is still on the engine. Don't tell me you have plumbed in the AC as well as the ABS?

I would've done but I couldn't fit the bloody thing in!!
