i had to find a replacment quick to give my staff to drive around in.
so i went a bought this. you may know it from here.
doh and fail as i cant upload the pics cause file size to big, no good that.
anyways its the black 205gti that Marshall had.
and i have to say its in preety good nick to be fair, for a high milage its got no smoke from the engine at all, id say its had the head rebuilt at some point. good to pull.
impressive stopping power on it, and not to mention that o so lovely life off rear steer you get with the 205.
inside is clean drivers seats seen better days but what do u expect from a car thats 19 years old. i dont know many 205 gti seats that arent a bit worn in the sides and backs. and i got 3 sets of them
Water pump is rattling as he said and it diden seam to bad, but seams to be getting worse so off down the shed tonight to have a look see what it is, we dont want no cambelts snapping.
see if i can make up a hose for the air intake,
looking to get it re-painted as the paints seen better days but that will have to wait till funds allow, and im not going to re-spray it as both cars i re-spayed have both gone to the scrap yard in the sky, so not going to jink it by doing it myself.
Just waiting on me mate getting back of hols to see if hes still got the MI16 engine that he had planned to put in his car years ago, so will get that and have it as a spare incase something gos wrong with this engine.
updates to come
