Dear mates, my name is Ramón Fernández, from Spain, it's a pleasure to greet you. I’m 32 years old, mechanical engineer and creator of PetrolheadGarage.com. In this website we are a group of non-professional friends that we share, in the most detailed way, our projects, restorations, techniques, passion and knowledge about classic cars with the only goal of learning and enjoying. After sharing the fully restoration of a Mini 1275cc SPI ’95 we are starting our next project: Making a Peugeot 205 Style 1.1 TU1 to GTi-6 (XU10J4RS engine) conversion. This is the car: This project, like that of the Mini we have made, we intend to record it and share it with everyone in our web, Youtube Channel y Facebook, showing each detailed step, how to do it and, above all, the challenges we will face. My knowledge about the 205 and / or any other group model is very limited, I have a world to learn and I’m reading & studying in this great house, so I would like to gather in this post all the information that we can all gather to carry out this project [/ b] . The objective is, as I said, to record it, but to do this it has to be done first, and to do it we have to have all the information possible. With this I hope that, together, we can create the largest and best collection of videotutorials about such an interesting project.. The information I have collected so far about what we need is ( TO CONFIRM – ): Bodywork: We have two. The one of 1.1 that you have seen above and the one of a 205 TD that will serve as a donor, since it has many pieces of 205 GTi, Xsara and 309.Video:Peugeot 205 RFS Restomod #2: ¿Por dónde empezar?
