Yeah - I didn't really want too but to keep the Mrs happy I put a sign in the window, with quite an optimistic price :)
It still needs the skirts fitting, badges and a few other small bits before...
Yeah mines the grey P Reg one above, I got there for just gone ten and managed to get squeezed in on the end of a row which was cool :-)
Good to see the other 200's out... I needed a sneaky peek...
Sorry dude - what you see is all I've got for the 200's... I'm sure someone will have something some where, so keep your eyes peeled :)
Some pictures of todays BHP Fuel Fest event...

There's not a great deal in Devon, SHMC only have one a year and Exmouth have pos. three but they don't seem to be bigger flowing courses, more farm yard based.
I entered the BTRDA newcomers...
So are you guys all parking together in the car club section? I've not been to a meet before so not too sure what the low down is, any ideas on which way to head when I'm there, or will the marshals...
Next is the side skirts, the only problem I have is that the rear holes have been filled in plus I don't have any of the original fixings (centre or bottom) to hand... a bit stuck on what to do, I...
Fixed up and fitted the front splitter, it has a crack in the center so I made up a bracket to hold it steady.
...
Cool beans I'll come along with you lot then :)
Cheers Al
I've already purchased tickets for this else where... What's the chances I can jump in with you guys? Only question I have is do I have to stay all day or can I head off a tad earlier?
Cheers Al

Well done that man - the PAS bracket bolt had come undone and wound its way into the back of the pulley...
...
There's still some fine tuning to be done, like side skirts, splitter and some niggly little issues, plus the PAS pulley jammed up today so I've got to sort that as well...
Well another year and a half has past.... and low and behold its finally on the road!!!!
I think that makes a total of 8 and a half years from buying it, rebuilding it and driving it for the first...
Nice to know - I'll get in touch should I need it :)
Hi all,
Its been a while but after 8 and a half years of hard labour I've finally got the 200 back on the road.
I drove it for the first time last week, got a puncture and had to do 100 miles...
Good effort there mate, looks like your balls deep init! Keep plugging away and it'll come around eventually, and it'll be worth every bit of blood sweat and tears :D
Now the legalities have been sorted with the DVLA its time to wave good bye to the original blue car. Shame to see it go like this but it wasn't safe for anyone to drive.... plus we did do a good job...
Yeah looking forward to taking it around the block, from moving it around the drive it feels like a brand new car, light clutch sharp brakes etc, hopefully all the bush upgrades will count towards...
Thanks very much mate! :)
Here's a few finer details...
Thought the filler surround would look good green, don't want any mishaps at the pump :) I quite like this for some reason...
...
I fitted the centre console but have a wire which is left over....Does anyone know what it is for? Being yellow I kind of thought it was either airbag or alarm related or am I wrong here?
...
After fitting both clutch master cylinders from the original and donor car, one leaked and the other wouldn't bleed up properly I then bought a 2nd hand one off ebay. Fitted it quickly and it bled up...
Today was inspection day at the DVLA.... well it never happened!
Long story short, been toing and frowing with various people at the DVLA about which number plate the car should be registered...
