205 Sleeper

Recommended Posts

DaveW

Ive been toying with an idea to make a 205 sleeper/Q car, like a taking a 205 auto and fitting a gti6 lump but keeping the outside looking just mundane and base modelish ^_^ has anyone ever done such a 205?

I would obv fit gti suspension and prob some 15 inch steelies, just for some more grip and better tyre choice.

When I did my re-shell I really wanted a 5dr but needed a car asap so settled for a friends XS. At the moment the paint is really flat and needs some attention, other than the exhaust and bonnet pins (which I assume everyone thinks is a barry boy addition) you would never know, its fun embarrassing people in it, where as the rallye looked like it should be quick.

I just couldn't drive around in a 205 with those base model front valance's! Even the 309 I just sold had quite a low front valance with driving lights, and that was a GRD. Saying that, it was brown on the outside and the dash and the seats and the carpet.....

Going to Australia for the winter and the funds are needed, :( I'd rather not but I don't have the sentimental attachment with the XS as I did to the Rallye.

Here you go, item number 320923095495 on eBay (sorry, I'm on a iPhone).

It's a bit far from you, but a brown 5 door, now that would a proper sleeper.

Dave do it, personal choice would be a van with steelies.

 

Think Paul was trying to shift his Gentry if you want the auto route. Shell was absolutely mint when I looked over it.

Would love a 205 van. Not seen one on the road for years now.

 

Fancied shoving a turbo lump in it, or a high power DERV for deceiving clatter at idle ;)
