205 track toy project

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]I've had my 205 for a good few months now I thought I'd share my project. Story behind it is 2 years ago I decided to get a 306 rallye as always wanted to do trackdays but could never bring myself to use our only car so looked for some cheap fun hence the rallye. Unfortunately it turned into a bad buy (from a dealer over the net but when received was no way near as good as described) but stick with it and ended up spending a fair bit only to end up having to sell it on as needed the money more for a house. [/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Trouble is 6 months on and I still wanted a toy as I missed it but as I like making it my own. So I ended up buying a rather sorry looking off the road gti which had already been semi broken for parts, but I wanted to build from scratch trying to do as much as possible myself [/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]As you can see needs a lot of work.[/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Thought with it being a track car it could do with a cage so ended up buying another rather sorry and rust ridden shell with a weld in cage which was cut from the car and welded into mine 







Also welded in some seat bars and mounted seat
