New project Pug 205 GTI Turbo + MG ZS 180

Cheers for all the comments! Iv'e not really had the chance to poke around it much yet, I agree the engine is a mess but it runs smooth as a nut and started first time, I warn you progress will be fairly slow, i'm going to treat the rust first and foremost and probably leave it at that for a month or 2 as i've got to get the MG sorted first (MOT and as of tonight clutch master cylinder YAY! ) Gonna change the name of this thread to include the ZS cos it is very much the family pet and i love it! *awaits vast barage of abuse*

I'm going for the OEM look with the Pug, refurb the wheels, freshen up the paint, i quite like the bonnet mod, other than that bin the rear lights and try and replace parts for cleaner ones as and when i come across them, i may try to fabricate some sort of engine cover as it just looks like chaos even when their clean, and i like things to be neat and tidy!

Here's some pics of the kinda look i'm going for, oh and i'm keeping it LOW!

Update, this weekend has been spent rallying, alot of 205's were present and i couldn't fault them, after day one the scoobies and evos are leading followed by mk2 escorsts then a vast barage of 2hoe5's! This makes my willy dribble knowing i've got this car, only issue being that if i was to enter the 205 i would be mixing it up with the 4wd boys, so this is now a rally car project, it's something i've always wanted to do so sod it, i'm doing it, solved the driveshaft issue, i need to swap the 1600 hubs over to 1900 hubs as they sit a fraction closer to the gearbox.

Also , clutch master cylender on ZS is broken, got alot of work bang on mot time now! GAY!
