I bought some camshaft end caps from CRF450 ages ago and finally installed them. I noticed that the coilpack bracket I made in one of the last updates had snapped. I'd only done around 500miles so I've found some thicker aluminium and gone around it in a different way. (2016 - still in place!)  The shiney end caps look nice and with that big coilpack in the way, well looked a bit curse word. So I've another bracket to allow the coilpack to come down around 70mm. Whilst I was there I fitted a shuntbox from a 306 (the 205 one was a bit broken in that it had little protection around the +ve terminals), This gave me a chance to tidy up the amp wiring and also connect the bonnet switch to the rest of the alarm! Lets see how that goes! EDIT: I forgot to mention, passed the MOT last week first time since the Emerald went on. Fortunately Dave Walker prepared an MOT map and now having the ability to toggle between maps meant the emissions passed, lovely. |

Nov. 2010
Not much done recently, but a long list building up.
What with a wedding, a honeymoon, a change of career I think I've managed to wash the car and do about 600 miles since the last update.
Hopefully something will be done soon.
Something of note I did buy some POR15 paint to try out on the battery tray...although it's still sitting in my workshop unopened.

Feb 2011
Removed the battery tray a couple of days ago and treated with the POR-15 black paint I bought last October - see above
It's come up really well, dries and finish is better than hammerite.
I've now refitted it and all looks rather nice!
Sadly and stupidly no before and after pics.

It's funny revisiting/ adapting this thread as the initial pace really slows down!

Wow - I really have done very little to this car since April. Apart from a 2000 mile blast in the summer not much to report.
Collecting bits and pieces though for some interesting and exciting upgrades in the new year

Jan 2012. I needed to lower and tilt the rad - a forum member on 205GTIdrivers makes these. It allows you to lower and tilt the radiator.  The same dayl, these arrived in the post.  |

With the radiator being titlted and lowered, the original cowling had to go; this meant the fan also had to do one. I bought this to replace it.  a Revotec fan (11" sucking - on the advice of Revotec) and to cut out a bit of my rad to make the fan as efficient as possible |
