How much 205 is actually left under the bodywork?
That’s a good question! Not much at all, front chassis legs, floor pan, some of the rear chassis legs, A and B pillars and the roof, the only thing I can think of that hasn’t be modified is the windscreen of course only if you don’t regard the sun strip as a mod.The Black Flash said:
Utterly, utterly brilliant. 
Any more info? I'd love to see how you've connected the drive from the two engines together.
The engines are only connected together via shifter cables, clutch and throttle cables, all are fully adjustable including rate, balance and ramp angle. Two engines running in one car, simply creates double the torque and bhp at ANY given rpm scale. They simply work along side each other, regardless of their power differences. A simpler way to understand is imagining one person pushing a car then someone else helping out with out going into to much detail with extra weight, and how state of tune can develop different handling and balance characteristicsAny more info?

The rear engine is cooled via two small Civic radiators installed in each rear arch, I have used 406 drive shafts, hubs, 305mm disks, Brembo callipers all round and a 406 servo to avoid any clearance problems with the engine in the front. The exhaust has two separate systems which each have there own unique design to allow top end performance for front and low down torque on the rear, which all ends up going through one tail pipe. Rims will be fitted with 240/610/17 yoko full slicks
No traction control, no abs, no PS, no bulls

Still waiting on company about the dials, although I have looking else where in the meantime. Almost bought some bushes yesterday until I started pondering about replacing with bronze rod I can machine on Johnny’s lathe. Though not to worry I guarantee they will be here way before you will need them, when its looking like my car will be finished before yours!!
Hi there. Interestignprojct. Curoius but how does the driveline work? Presumably you have some form of centre diff or elese the engines would be fighting each other every time you went round a corner. But how do you control drive, especially when one pair of wheels lose traction or slide?
Cheers.
Cheers.
Totally cracking, I love stuff like this 
What sort of 205 did it start out as? Naturally I too am curious to know how it drives and what the performance is, not to mention the sound 
I'm not sure why people think the engines will be fighting each other or think there must be some kind of transmission link between the two. I think the OP's explanation of one person pushing from the back and then someone else joining in by pulling at the front is a good one - the engines simply 'help' each other out plus of course you get 4wd.
Great project, very well done for sticking at it for so long, OP.

I don't know how it's setup. If what you say is true, then that would mean dual gearboxes, so no actual drivetrain link between the engines. But I don't know if this is how they've done it or not.300bhp/ton said:

I don't know why people are thinking two engines in one vehicle can't work. Think of aircraft!!!
Plus it's been done before many times with cars. I've seen a twin-engined (original) Mini, plus a MkII Golf with VR6 engines front and back.
Im not saying it can't work. I'm asking how?????Plus it's been done before many times with cars. I've seen a twin-engined (original) Mini, plus a MkII Golf with VR6 engines front and back.
And an aircraft bears no simarity.
Bonkers!
