  1. Been looking at 205's for a while now, started out on Ford Fiesta mk1's and finally moved on. Fed up of the rust and stupid prices of things I decided to sell all the stuff i had (and I had some very good bits) and invest in a 205. picked this up off ebay, bit of a daft blind bid followed by some midweek travel to collect it. Covering less than 100 miles in the 3 years before i owned it, came with 10 months MOT and had to buy tax, got a smidge under 90k on the clock and looks very solid. Inner wings are a tad soft at the very front but compared to mk1 fiestas that's sod all. so went to collect it, drove it 140 miles home then a few days later drove down to the retro rides gathering at Prescott hill, a 300mile round journey. Drove faultlessly apart from spongy brakes. Then started taking it apart. koni shocks/springs on the front, rears to be fitted when I get a few more spanners - daft size bolts on these things. 1.6gti calipers fitted with 1.9gti pagid discs. Still got to collect an XS engine from George XS on here, will rebuild that and tune a wee bit then fit next winter I reckon. I will be racing this next year in as many hillclimb/sprint events as I can afford, in the roadgoing class for the time being. i have bought some control tyres and today picked up a bucket seat. anyway, piccies.
