'89 1.9 Gti - 64K/black/non Sunroof

[ciarandeery1 22]

Ok, so been looking for a car this last year or so, nothing really stood out, was to far away etc. Got in contact with a fella who had one stood in his garage this last few years, wasn't advertised. He said he had plans for it but moved away and just hadn't the time. When he got it he put timing belt kit on it and serviced it before parking it away.

 

It's got a full Peugeot stamped history, 64k genuine miles, folder of MOTS, receipts, original books, 2 previous owners.

 

The car as it is now is as original. Parcel shelf, clarion radio, original keys, mats, mudflaps.

 

Boot floor, inner wings, below seats, floor pan all solid, having a car lift is very handy.

All the trims are in great shape as are the lights and driving lamps.

Interior is more or less immaculate bar a few slight blemishes.

 

Needs a repair on both lower quarter sections but it's not as bad as I thought after having a look.

 

I was in 2 minds about buying but now if I had of missed it I would have kicked myself. Here's a few pics of when I got it delivered today.

 

 

Photobucket giving me technical problems here, trying to sort it lol

That looks very nice. Good to hear it ended up only having rust on those sections of the sills and not in the other common areas. Looks like it just needs a new rear Peugeot badge and a new seat bolster to finish off! Any other plans for it?

[ciarandeery1 22]

Cheers mate, I'm super glad myself after taking the chance lol no more or less just tidy it up and enjoy and keep it

[Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars]

If you're looking to clean it up and want inspiration, its worth checking out ATK's thread for his steel grey. I've found myself investing in new parts for mine to finish it off having read through his progress!

[ciarandeery1 22]

Certainly will. I've it up on the lift at home cleaning and Re-sealing front arches. What's the best process for that? Clean, rust protect, seam seal joints then Stonechip?

[aldworth33 45 1 Cars]

Looks mint, you got yourself a pension there lol nice clean standard ones are hard to find. I'd be keeping up with the service history just to keep the value in it

[ciarandeery1 22]

Lol you think so? Just needs slight work and it could be near perfect. My plan is to get a carcoon and store it, use it on dry days etc. I really am over the moon with it myself

[aldworth33 45 1 Cars]

Get the scuffs on the seats sorted and it all upto mint condition and with service history and low mileage it will be worth a decent amount to someone who wants a nice example because like I said there's not many out there in such a good state

Nice black 205.

Sign yourself up to Servicebox so that you can check and order parts from the dealer. It'll save you a few quid on common ebay parts sellers...

[welshpug 1,657]

yup, cut out the middle man!

thanks for that info guys. thats great!!

[jackherer 543]

Agree with the above, as an example the grille badge is still available from the dealer for £18.58 and you can often negotiate about 10% off on most dealer parts.

[ciarandeery1 22]

see setting up account, which one?

 

1. Professional automotive repair
   ex. : Independent repairers
2. Other professional automotive
   eg OEMs
3. Another professional except spare
   ex. : Large administrations
4. Support and First Aid
   eg Firefighter
5. Particular

[jackherer 543]

I chose number 1 I think, it was a long time ago though.

[ciarandeery1 22]

Armed with grinder, drill and various dangerous attachments I've started the underside lol spare wheel and exhaust off, pretty impressed, I've all the boot floor done, just removing old flaking stuff as most of it is intact or would I be better to totally remove? Also once applying bilthamber would I need to seamseal, etch prime before dinitrol or not?

so, been a few weeks since ive last updated, have the car up on the lift at home still, beam out and painted ready to go back in. then itll be off to the panel beaters.

 

i have a heap of new bits and pieces coming from Peugeot for this, so hopefully be nice job once complete. im off on holidays next monday so wont be many updates while im laying in cape verde

 

anyway, heres a few pictures of what i was met with.

 

Showing my affection for tank and beam after wrestling with bolts for a few hours lol

 

 

basically just taking my time as you can see, its hard to get motivated. will keep it updated once i get a few more bits done.

[ciarandeery1 22]

sorry for the quality of some of those pics, not sure why they are like that

[ciarandeery1 22]

spent a few hours tidying up my rear beam,

 

i am waiting on some new rear shocks and fronts coming. once here il whack all in.

 

im away on hols for 2 weeks so wont be doing much

 

[ciarandeery1 22]

thanks to farmer for the old stock genuine peugeot front shocks and a friend mananged to source me some old stock rears - 5206 TE

[ciarandeery1 22]

so,

 

been away on holiday for 2 weeks, just got back last wed and done few more bits, have a load of bits sitting for when im building up again.

 

im pretty pleased how clean the front end is, ive minimal work to do there bar replacing a few bolts and bits.

 

also on the hunt for a donor 205 to build into this shell. have an eye on a few laying up not far from home.

 

how i spent my saturday night lol

some old and some new

eventually got the headlights out. the screws were bolloxed had to drill the head off. headlight panel is in very good condition thank god.

inner wings also very good with minimal surface rust

how we sit at the moment.

 

only thing left to strip is some interior/ rear boot panel/ door mouldings and rear light clusters.

 

anyone any idea how you get fuel tank filler lines out from inner arch? had quick look last night be handy if someone had a rough idea.

[Tom Fenton 1,541]

There is an M6 stud sticking through from the inside of the car with a nut in the wheelarch. Go carefully as it will be easy to shear the stud off.

perfect tom, much appreciated.

[ciarandeery1 22]

so, by end of the week it will be off to the metal work guy and il get him to keep me updated with pics of his work. got the beam back in and onto its wheels now along with the rear interior and trims removed.

 

 

been buying a few bits and bobs recently to, managed to track down some valeo headlights and got front and rear bumper inserts from the peugeot museum, dont think il fit these as i dont even need them but nice to have as i imagine a lot of the stuff is going to disappear over the next few years.

[ciarandeery1 22]

ok, got some updates from the guy doing the metal work for me, said affected areas arent the worst he said and everything else seems solid for now lol

some pics after removing one area.
