As promised here is the project thread for the 206.

Just a quick insight into the project first. Basically ive been into rallying now for near on 18 years and have been doing the spanners for my mate on his 106 rallye for the past 4 years and decided i took the plunge and get behind the wheel.

got my national B stage rally licence earlier this year and started to hunt down a suitable car.

the 206 came up at the right price £250, needed abit of work but it was being stripped and alot of parts are being changed so its no problem. take no notice of the chav lights and 17's because they have quickly come off and been sold lol

Then the stripping process started. everything that wasnt needed came out and thrown away no point in selling it cause it was all nakered and ripped lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Then on one sunday i had a little helper for a few hours in the form of my 12 year old nephew and between us we did this lol

 

 

 

 


sunroof out (even though it did crack right down the middle as we took it out) that needs to be welded up

 


and dash out

 


and interior loom out ready to be opened up and all un-needed wires taken out

 


took the dash to work and cut out a big part of the support bar out from behind it to lighten it Very Happy

 

 


ends tig welded up to neaten them up

 

 


and bar back on dash

 


As i dont want a key floating around the car while im on stage im going for push start ignition so using where the radio should be i made a switch panel. Going in this panel will be battery cut off, Fire extinguisher (plumbed in), Main beam flasher (hooked up to a flasher unit to warn slower cars im approaching), washers, Master ignition switch and Push Start button.

so far ive mounted the master ignition and push start switch

 

 


Got a bargin off ebay 4 205 GTi wheels for £33 so went and picked them up and started the refurb on them. I shot blasted all 4 wheels, these will be going bright white.

 


need another set of these as the car is now sat on Xsara VTS wheels those will be refurbed and white aswell.

and this is the colour the car is going once its ready for paint (sunglasses at the ready)

 


this weekend i spent alot of cash at demon tweeks and ordered my OMP 6 point bolt in roll cage, and came home with 2 Sparco Sprint 5 seats, Sparco mountings, 2 TRS 6 point harnesses

thats it for now will get some more pics when i get back off my holiday

To build a car, not much

To enter rallies and maintain the car (if of high standard, eg impreza) alot Laughing

£5000 to build a good one... but you can produce a competitive group N car for far less
