well the poor 205 sat most of the driveway looking sorry for itself, So i decided to treat her



Theres a set of adjustable konis on the way thanks to ebay, and after a bit of searching i've ordered a Grp N Exhaust system for her too :)



add to that a big box of service goodies from the factors at lunch time today inc oil/air/fuel filters plugs/leads and discs and pads front and back :)



so i'm off to the garage to fit the service stuff and then get ready to rip the parcel guys arm off first thing in the morning :)



tis nice to have been bit by the modding bug again

Shame - I've got a set of front discs and pads for a 1.6 205 GTi that I've had sitting around here for a good few years now!

They're not new, and whilst it's not worth pissing about with used bits, they had literally done *very* few miles on the car they were fitted to before it was scrapped - probably less than 1000, if that.

If anyone wants 'em - gis a shout - yours for the price of the postage, maybe a pint on top ;-)

It's amazing how 80's tin has a tendency to do that to people.

Oh ah. I thought the 1.6 GTi had drums on the back. Yours had the 1.9 disc conversion?

had a bit of a play last night with a fiesta ST its nice to know that my 20 yr old french shed can still run with some of the modern stuff :) although i feel that a quick freshen up, some weight loss and a few quid flung at her will see me even happier :)
