French car show and introduction

Thank you 
Thinking of lightening the flywheel, porting and polishing the head, getting a new fuel pump (that works!) and building an airbox and getting induction kit on it as cold air to carb is blocked atm by the rad, either that or put a GTi rad in but that seems like too much hastle!
I may convert to a bigger engine at some point in the future, but at the moment this is my project baby and I want to do it to see if it can be done Will keep you updated.
And for Lil' Joe who didn't believe me http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/cudpud/?actio... I kid you not.
Thought about buying some OZ Rally wheels from a Lancia Delta Integrale but apparently they won't fit, got a few people to ring and enquire though, not buying them if they're too pricey (which is what I expect), trying to keep the project relatively cheap atm (my GTi alloys were free)

The red wheels look fantastic at the moment, and if your going for an engine change it has to be an MI16 eventually. If there's any still left that is.

What shade of red are the wheels? I was going to go bright garish red for my track wheels but those look pretty decent!
Don't tempt me LOL
My friend knows someone that's getting rid of an Mi at the moment, VTS engine keeps popping into my head though...might just leave as is, while I decide what to do next
I did want to get another 309 as a proper project car (not a daily driver) but lack of space means I can't and also I want my next car to be the one I've wanted for years, so trying to keep costs down on this project, ready for the next one

Good on ya I say, I like projects like that where you squeeze lots of power out of little engines, with a bit of research and fiddling around it can be good fun and cheap, and if it does go pop then the cost to replace is not too severe either. With that older engine you may struggle with finding things like cams and any other performance bits, maybe worth asking on 205gtidrivers.com, they will probably have some definitive answers. My 205 will hopefully be back on the road in the next week or two so i will give you a wave if i see you!
