Sooo this weekend alot of magic has happened thanks to a good mate aggy. Went over to his garage a did nothing but play with the car (and fall in love with his 205 again as per normal).



Anyways.. first thing on the list was cambelt change. Never done one befor and never want to do one again [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] with aggys help overseeing and guiding we managed to do it but the first time we over tensioned it so the belt whined. Much better then not doing it enough and slipping a tooth but of course it was all re adjusted up correctly

Afterwards the first bakerbm mount was fitted up on the drivers side. Once that was on and the engine was back in we looked at the aux setup. Having shreaded the belt we had to run to boston motor parts direct to get another one closest (30 min drive to my annoyance). Once we had it the new belt was fitted with the lynx pulley.

All well and good then fitted the gear box mount and lower mount. If it wasnt for aggy that mount would not of come out [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] we decided to do it on the car, heating a knife up to cut the bush out. Once the center was out aggy set about caving the pressed ring in with hammers and anything that would drive between it. Once the new powerflex was in we kinda realised we should have done this one first as it was mission impossible to mount the fork because the engine would barley move.

While all this was going on i was doing a little number on my front brakes. Had found one of the sliders had bent so set about adapting one to fit, which only entaled cutting it to the right lentgh

Once done the slider holes were cleaned and re-packed with fresh grease. New disks were fitted. Then was just a job of re-assembling.

While we tinkerd a lad came round who strips pugs asking about remapping so managed to strike up a deal for some 30mm bolt on spacers. had to remove the stud conversion and thread them into the spacers which also meant cutting them down.


Having gone full retard on the fronts so both front and rears poke the same im begining to think small bolt on arches may be needed.....

Only other job that was completed was the carbon wing mirror covers. Anooyed me mega carbon made then as an over cover yet futted better without the originals underneath. Solved that my ripping the originals off and tiger sealing the carbon to the wingmirrors [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]
