Hardly breaking the mold here with a xud9 converted 205 but it's something i've wanted to do for a few years but always had other projects to finish, now I finally have the time so here goes.
A few weeks back I bought a 97' 3 door non sunroof 205 derv by accident really as I saw it in a volvo dealers car park that I visit and asked if it was for sale, it was, so this is something to have a play around with over the winter (I have 5 weeks off work as of the 9th of december).
No pictures of the car at the moment but will try to get some over the weekend.
So far I have:
- Lowered the car front and rear 40mm ish
- Fitted saxo vtr discs and calipers on the front (had them in the garage for ages)
- pug1off linkage kit
- fitted a set 14'' partner van steels from the scrap yard
- removed the tow bar
- replaced the o/s handbrake cable
- fitted TD spec front lower bumper
This wednesday I picked up a late 306 xud td engine for £100 (a good runner apparently),
since acquiring it I have replaced the cam belt rocker gasket inlet and exhaust gasket and blocked the egr system off
also cut the top off the fuel solenoid security cover and re routed the wiring to the solenoid for now,
anyway here the company car/work van transporting the engine home
