Turns out having 3 blown shocks (drivers front and both rear) let the car do things like this:

Must just be the style at the time, it kind of reminded me of that I saw every time I opened the bonnet on my BX 16 valve...

That little car looks like it'd be an absolute blast. I'm not much into the hot-hatch scene, but stripped-out interior + uprated engine = craploads of track-day fun.

Didn't you want the 4x4 system? :( mind you the donor cars' 4x4 system was probably the reason it was a donor in the first place :|

Anyway, congrats, as you win the coveted 'Longest Gear Stick Award 2011' :lol: :wink:

Yeah they are all right hand drives.

The cam cover is now back on, those engine bay pics are 2 years old now. It's also running an air filter.

A lot of works been done to it. You guys should be able to access this: http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85719 if you want

Haha yeah that damm gear stick... i'm going to be looking at stealing the cable selection system from a 406 later also, more cars to hack up for the 205 - whooo!
