Morning guys,

 

I'm really struggling to find a 205/Peugeot restoration specialist on my area - can you guys help me out?

 

I live near Lowestoft in East Anglia.

 

Kind regards,

Charlie

It has some rust issues - mainly above the drivers seat, allowing water in. Secondary rust issues in another couple of places.

 

Hoping to get someone to do a full resto so don't have to fix bits an pieces as I go.

that was full strip, deduct, weld, paint. 

 

I refurbed the engine. Also built the car from a bare shell. Its eye wateringly expensive  to sort them out.

 

Engine took about 6 months once I started it properly  and about £2500. Rebuild took nearly 10 weeks once I got the shell painted . 6 to 8 hours a day. Brutal. ( saved most money rebuilding it by myself)
