A friend has had an accident today. He is fine, unlike the car.

Good he's OK, especially considering the condition of the 205, must have made quite a bang. I like the cherry reds too:(

Fook! Looked a nice motor as well. Good he's okay.

Thats fixable

Glad your friends ok

Thats fixable

 

Doubt it, look at the rh door aperture, its shorter and the a-pillar+roof have moved.

so sad to see another lovely 205gti wrecked! i hope the parts that are still usable go to a good home and on to a roadworthy 205

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

Yeah, real bad luck, especially after he changed pretty much everything on the car to get it running as it should.

 

However, the good news is that he's not going to sell it or break it - but he's going to attempt fixing it .

think it will require a new shell as that looks pretty bent to me

[custard-rallye 25]

Good effort

I agree the shell looks bad, Not worth the work when shells are easy to come by.

Fixable in my opinion. The shell is bent but can be properly straightened at a lower cost than a reshell work.

i hope he is successful in straightening out and reusing the existing shell as so many are now going for the easier option of reshelling in to plentiful newer 3 door shells but for me at least that totally alters the identity of the car changing the body numbers etc and i prefer to keep the cars as original as possible.

Sorry but scrap it and get another.Shell is bummed,look at how much higher the roof is at the front and there will be a nice crease half way down i bet.Im all for repairing and saving cars but it'd be faster to reshell it
