My Peugeot 205 Gti 1.6

[scott-205gti 2]

My peugeot 205 gti 1.6 which i intend to restore over the next year or so. But i dont know weather to restore it as a 1.6 or 1.9, any ideas.

My vote is keep it 1.6 and get the correct wheels, seats and grey trim.

 

Looks nice, I take it there isn't too much to do? A dent man should be able to pull the dent out hopefully?

i see my car has a twin lol!

 

i too would keep it as a 1.6 and get it to as original as you can as you have a good clean base car to begin with.

I too would keep it original. Looks nice mate.

[timmsy19 3]

Yep another for keeping it original. Those little 1.6's can be just as much if not more fun than the 1.9

HI thanks for the replies 1.6 it is then, went for its m.o.t today and is guna cost £295 to get it through it needs some welding to the rear bumper mount sections and uder the rear seats, so i take it the interion isnt original then always thought it was a 1.9 interior, there is some original pepper pot alloys at the local scrap yard aswell as a cherry red gti with some parts still left on it. Im still getting quotes for a respray of around £1500 so im hoping to get that done next year unforunatley the car looks a little better in the pictures as the paintwork is a little faided and the bonnet is a different shade of red.

I have some orginal wheels going cheap 4 legal tyres

[scott-205gti 2]

Hi i would need them posted tho, and i would need to get rid of my other spare set of 1.9 gti alloys as i have 9 wheels at the moment and im having trouble trying to sell them on ebay.

[scott-205gti 2]

Hi can someone confirm what type of interior my car would have originally had,

Hi can someone confirm what type of interior my car would have originally had,

 

Would have had a cloth one I think?

[scott-205gti 2]

Hi thanks for the reply only reason I ask is I have seen a few other red 1.6 gti's with the same interior so thought I might be original.

[MiniGibbo 142]

If its a 1600 Id also keep it a 1600..

 

I actually prefer the full cloth seats anyway

[timmsy19 3]

try and go for the earlier cloth (tweed??) seats found in the phase1 1.5, as the phase 2 with black cloth wears really badly!

 

Edit: oh and please keep the indicators on the front original

Hi should the indicators be orange or clear. cheers

[niagra 3]

Orange.

[scott-205gti 2]

Hi thanks for the reply, thats lucky because they are new the car had clear before so i took a gamble and bought orange as my dads sorrento 205 gti has orange.Cheers

[scott-205gti 2]

Found some rot on the car the box section area is rotten as are the rear bumper mounts should i be worried and is it an expensive repair.Cheers

Scott, I only live up the road in Boston. Are they 1.9 speedlines you're trying to sell? If so, how much do you want for me to come and pick them up?

[scott-205gti 2]

Hi there on eBay at the moment for sale, I have set a starting bid of £40 and a buy it now of £90. Cheers Scott
