Dave it would be good to put it back on the road and buck the trend, plus you would save us coming round your house and giving you a good "going over" that way :wink:

There's a few 205'ers who've been converted to the joys of BX'ing - carry a whole lot more stuff in 'em and still pretty rapidly! Jack Herrer I think kept his for a long time (think he's the bloke who wrapped his into a ball on a track day?!) plus a couple of others.....

If it's as good as it sounds then get it up and running and either keep it and enjoy or offer it on here :D

Good on you dave! be nice to keep a good one on the road!
they do have the advantages over the 205! mainly that you can sit in supremem comfort cruising along the motorway with 4 mates in the car and a boot full of gear and float over all the bumps! yet, ditch your mates and hte gear and take it for a full on blast and get out with the biggest smile as no one expects the car to go half as quick as it does!:)

Well I got her going yesterday evening after knocking up some fuel lines and having the return pipe going into a jerry can!!!!! :P

She started well and sounded really strong with minimal smoke.

The suspension rose up like a really strong spring and all in under 20 seconds of first fire up. Not bad considering how long she has been stood :P

Still in two minds as of what to do as after going under it found a few more rotton areas. Im in no rush to do anything and fear not im not going to jump in and rip it to bits.

Going to have a good mull over this week :roll:

Dave, that engine was sweet when she was on the road. Little or no smoke and minimal oil usage. Not to mention it still pulled like a runaway train.lol

Only ever used Magnatec or similar matey.

Don't she sound good with the Powerflow exhaust on :D
