	This looks awesome. Some really nice work in here and the colour is lovely. It brings back memories from the 90's when I was just getting into cars. Has off for a top build

	Had a couple of constructive days and have got all dash now fitted and door glass is all fitted front and rear windscreens being fitted tomorrow. I have managed to get engine fitted and gear links fitted and driveshafts in as well will start to fit all pipes and wiring loom over next few days.

	Another constructive day had new front and rear screens fitted, managed to find where all of the pipes go in the engine bay so now just got to tighten them up connected all wiring up just waiting for a new reverse sensor and that will be all complete. I also got the new oil cooler and rad fitted to the housing all going well and fingers crossed will be going for a start on the engine in next week or so just got to get oil and few other bits then I should just be waiting for the interior to come back.

	Looks great! I've often wondered why the bonnet slam panel is white on 205s.

I assumed it had been replaced at some point so painted it white to match the rest of the car From the factory they where a semi gloss light grey colour. When they has a front end smash (often with the 1.9gti ) we used to spray the new panel with satin black aerosol. The one could either be a painted orginal or a painted replacement.

	Took care of a few smaller jobs today and was hoping to have engine started as I have had it cranking over and have good oil pressure and spark so it was all go only to find my fuel pump knackered and jammed so that put a stop to proceedings so just did a small walk around. I will have to give it a good detail soon as this is just the finish from bodyshop and allready has a good shine.

	I'd be really proud to have completed a build as good as this, let alone own the finished article. Awesome.

	Stunning in every aspect!
	If it can be fixed with a hammer, then it must be an electrical fault
