The Resurrection Of Gomy

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Hello Guys, welcome to my new project thread, I hope you'll enjoy it.

 

The Story so far-

 

 

It was the Summer of '06 and I hadn't owned a 205 for 5 Years. I was doing a driving job at the time and had just done a drop off and had a couple of hours to spare. On the way back home I saw a Red 205 GTI for sale at the side of the road and being as I had some spare cash at the time I decided to stop for a look. 24 hours later I was driving home in My new 1.9.

 

Long story short, I drove it for a few days, it had trouble idling, a hose burst, so I broke it for parts.

 

 

Fast Forward 6 years. The shell still sits on pallets round in my Parents drive. It's badly faded and covered in moss but it's pretty much rust free! I now own several 205's and lots and lots of spares. They are becoming rarer and a shell in this condition is definitely worth holding on to. A plan had formed

 

How it stands at the moment-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did plan on scrapping it for most of the last 6 years but I've had a recent change of heart.

 

I did try swapping it for Beer once but alas had no real interest- Click

 

 

So this is the begining of the resurrection of Gomy the 1.9

Yeah everyone who was interested lived too far away. I must admit, I'm quite pleased that it didn't go now

 

Must be fate

 

Could well be. Maybe the most unloved 205 turn out to be the most fun?

Cool, red 205's are the quickest and handle the best. GL with the restoration.
