What happened to the old motor? After reading about the blasting media remaining on the head after it was already installed, I was like ummmmmmm...
Good call on the 205 motor. Did you do any maintenance on it before you installed it?

How did you do the conversion on the front brakes to your st185? Install a bracket? Great build sweet choice of the st205 upgrade.

for the 205 brakes we put on we grinded down the hub and caliper itself no brackets. shaved the rotors down a little so they are smaller. let me find all the measurements they are somewhere on one of the posts in the brake upgrade posts i will be updating this project tonight with new pictures lots of updates and adding a new project thread form 185 no. 2

Among this got new exhaust. the mid pipe is the only thing going on this car. The rear axle back is going on the 90.

Ordered from eBay welds look great


Along with an hid retrofit that I have no photos of outside yet since the car is on jackstands.




More updates to come 205 rear end will be installed. When we the new axle back in hopefully this week.
Then back to the front of the car for battery and intake finishings
