Ok so i have been saying for a while that I would start a project thread so here goes!
Bought the car from a guy WAY up north of Scotland and had the interior etc stripped out it and partly seam welded plus a few bits to install to make it a rally car.
original car before any work!
Inside all stripped out and welding started on all the seams
Engine bay with all the seams welded and painted to try and stop rust
All the sealer removed from the underside of the car and welding along the chassis rails etc
Ok so that was the state of the car when I bought it so the rest of the work was me. Thanks very much to the guy i bought it from for removing the sealer ive just done it on a 205 rally car im preparing and its one horrible job!!
Customs weld in cage to be fitted
New engine bay with the cage fitted
Inside the door. How i get in and out of there when the seats are in i dont know!! 
Inside of the car with the cage fitted, seat rails welded in, all seams welded up
Bilstien jack points welded into the sills!
Roll cage finished
Then i faced the engine problem. What one to use.
I first started with the standard GTI engine.
Thought that i might get bored with that one so i bought a GTI 6 engine
Decided that putting a heavy engine in the front of a rally car may not be the best for handling and with a standard 180 engine the same performance id try a 180 engine!
Think i could join them together??? 
Ok look another engine this time an MI16 from a 405 mhhhh which to choose!!!
Choices!!! So that is where i stand so far with the project
Future work includes:
The quaife gear close ratio gear kit and tran x diff to be intalled into either the standard or gti180 box
Peugeot sport group a suspension to be fitted
I have plumbed in fire eater all ready, electrical cut off switch ready. I bought the reg plat BIG 2066 last year as well which i think is a cool touch for the car.
Im after Jamie's throttle bodies so i will see if i can raise the funds to purchase them and make this a real 180 BEAST!!
Im still working on the 206s older sister the 205 just now so progress may be slow but i hope to have the car done for September to compete in the International Rally of Scotland.
205 rally car
Comments welcome and any advice!!

There are pros and cons of using the 180 engine. Setting up the 138 engine on throttle bodies is easier and there are more engines out there if spares are needed.
The 180 has a modified bottom end which could mean it's stronger and the cams will help get more power out of it. The downside is the VVT which is harder to set up but also gives a torque advantage if you can set it up with standalone management.

It was a CAT D right off so i have saved it from a life in the scrapie
Tried to fit the dash but it was a total pain in the a$$ trying to cut bits out to get it to fit around the roll cage!! Next step is to paint i think or maybe take the sump off the 180 engine to check its all ok. Should be as it has only done 30000 miles but best to check i suppose

UPDATED PICS FINALLY
Been working hard over the last few weeks on the 205 but i have finally managed to get some time to work on the 206!!
I have removed all sealer from the bottom now as well as the inside, welded up all the drainage plug holes which takes ages!
The engine bay was primed ready for paint on tuesday and i have just finished off the rest of the body in primer tonight. Will update with those photos tomorrow its like a purple haze out there just now with the fumes.
Anyways here are the pics of the engine bay, inside all primed and the rest of the body all prepared for the primer to go on.
