205 dt sleeper, engine in :)

Right update time...

Thanks again to Trent for the clocks/loom/dash surround!

I fitted these and every dial worked from the off so was happy with that, had to replace a shit load of bulbs but thats a given with 205 clocks.
I was most chuffed about the rev counter working straight away, I know these can be a lady garden to get working.

All in all, it was pretty straight forward, i've taken the dashboard out in 205's enough times and had the whole thing back together and working in about 3 hours.
The stdt loom was like for like plug wise against the old NAD loom.



The "oh shit my engine's already f*cked light"



I didn't have the coin tray or the other triangle trim so I decided to copy a mates idea and modify the cowling to accept a base model triangle trim.



I got it through a MOT earlier and went to costco to stock up on veg

Also centralised the rack and got the tracking sorted, should handle a bit better now.

Next on the list is:

Fit gti valance to be able to lower the rad further
Fit a slightly larger intercooler
Build up the engine with the td04
Get the exhaust built up
Sort out some uprated suspension
