Yes ive got one that was heavily cracked. repairing them is a time consuming job as the cracks all need ground out completely, then it needs preheated, then welded with high nickel content filler wire or rod. then you need to let it cool down slowly then grind anything else back and repeat each time. I think ive got pictures somewhere, but just had a quick look but not quite sure where they are. however a cracked jam manifold looks just like a normal cracked ct9 manifold i guess.

Yep they do still crack.

years ago a mate bought one of the lower power 206 gti's as it was cheap locally. we had a right laugh rallying it round back roads and gravel roads it got absolute death. It was good fun.

Sounds a cool place to work with a decent boss! the 206 looks tidy for a track car. ive not seen a gti180 for ages now.

Its been a good while since any updates but i got the floor pan cut out the donor teg and welded into the other car. Then got the car back from my mates unit.

Dc2 by Bean Beano, on Flickr Wired it all down with degreaser, a few times and hoovered it all out then applyed some Bilt hamber hydrate 80. I havnt got a pic of that yet. Next to to carry on with the rest of the floor pan then spray it all with epoxy primer. then its all nice and clean.

You could have a na box there, was the end cover pressed steel rarther than ali?

80-£100??
