Hohoooww, I'm sorry to say that now but your reference picture is false !!
this may come from a rebuilt T16 because Engine valve covers were not red but "goldish aluminium" (iron ?)...

moreover your picture show a Evo2 engine not an evo1...

here is MC85 engine:

don't know if you care but I wanted to point this out to you, hoping you won't

and

me

for saying that too late.

A couple months ago, I talked with some people in the historic documentation dept. in the Peugeot museum, and they told me that all original 205 valve covers (competition) were finished in that strange gold/aluminum color, and all 405 valve covers were gold/aluminum or polished gunmetal.

So, those red valve covers should be from a rebuilt car, or a street 205.

Hope this info helps!

Well, right colour or not. I do think it looks promising.

And the painting is done very well and clean (only a shame that you'll have to strip it

)

Well, you don't HAVE to

I think you are doing a great job, and those valve covers can be the color you want them to be. It is just a matter if you have fun replicating all the details of a car.

Hy!

The assumption legitimate,I foreshadowed it something things like this,but may be it after all I reference my picture the equivalent

It shows the engine compartment of the ready maquette on the front of a guide,and seems me in that manner this stands near to my version,than to the one showed by you (evo1?)

I see it at the exhaust mostly the difference.

But independent from the truth,I believe what never turns out possibly rather I stay at that version what I selected

Thanks for the comments

Nice WIP will follow this one hope the update's will come soon.I have one question the photo etched is this in the box or did you bought it in aftermarket.

Nice looking project you got going here

Becose I'd keep the original ones myself

DJ RUSH99 · #15 03-06-2008, 12:36 PM

Hy!

modelbouwertje: Yes,the photo etched parts are originally in the box

thadude: The strength of a couple of photos the original wheels will be above
