Hi all.
I was recently hit with some massively bad news.
Earlier in the year I passed on my beloved 205 GR to my brother-in-law. He was after a small cheap runaround and seeing as I had bought myself a diesel for commuting I decided to give him the pug.
Info:
205 GR 5 door
1.4ltr
197+k miles!!!
Nicknamed "Leroy" (for no real reason) my wife and I have had some great times and trips with him over the years so I was devastated to hear that while my bro-in-law and his family were at church on sunday, some kids (literally not even teenagers) decided to throw a lit newspaper under the fuel tank.
Pictures speak for themselves really but I think I can save him. I've managed to get him home on a trailer and I'm going to strip the back end down and clean him up to see what the damage really is. I think we were lucky that the fire service got there so quickly.
So basically this is an appeal for bits and bobs to sort him out (on a very tight budget).
I've managed to source:
Boot lid
rear seat
drivers door
rear valance
I still require:
Fuel tank (non injection)
fuel filler neck
Rear drivers side door
head lining (non sunroof)
I'm trying to do the bare minimum to make him roadworthy again as I can't let him go to the scrappy.
He'll drive through forests, fields, snow, sand, just NOT fire apparently.
Been one of the best cars I've ever owned and I can't see him die so close to reaching the moon!
Cheers guys.
