Clekshun Fred - Now Peugeot 205 Sportomatic Project Fred

Well it's back home and tucked away for the time being until other stuff has been moved on. 

First impressions are - it's pretty damn mint. Very few issues from what I can tell so far, even the interior is intact! There is a rather annoying hot starting issue, looks like a problem with the automatic choke. But once up and running it drives beautifully, I'm impressed with the auto box so far - not slushy at all and the shift points are nicely timed.  

Anyway, this will become the project thread soon enough but for now here are some more pictures!

This might be a red herring, but the last motor I had that had a hot starting issue, the issue ended up being a faulty temp sender … The car thought it was still cold, so basically tried to start with full choke, when it wasn't needed.

I have no idea what setup is on these, so this might be miles off … then again, it might be something worth checking.

Have yet to delve into this, that's a damn good shout though! I'm not familiar with the Weber auto-choke system but no doubt it's some wax stat/bi metal coolant warmed linkage abortion that goes out of adjustment if you fart near it.
