		Hi guys im looking at a 205 project which has been started but not finished. The guy says he has fitted the 306 subframe, hubs and shafts to keep the 1.9 box for the xud9 conversion. 
Is this even possible?

		No but fitting 306 hubs are although it will give positive camber

		You don't need to change anything subframe wise to keep the xud9 box, having done the conversion myself! 
You only need to swap the diff (for a 205 be item) or change the inner CV joint to a 306 item (which is considered a bodge, but I've done it myself and driven a fair while on it)

		If anyone has messed around with a subframe "conversion"  I'd stay well clear
