Tony McVeigh Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Also, replaced the tatty rubber bound steering wheel with a leather one, it was a breeze, it took minutes. Glad I did, as the old one had the annoying rubber slip from the main structure of the wheel! Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony McVeigh Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi mate, I f*cking love this car, needed to get 4 new tyres due to underuse over the years, but hey, worth it. Been offered double what I paid just yesterday, errmmm nope!! The amount of people that love it, and were amazed I only paid what I did! I have treated the couple of bits of rust with rust eater, then, primed (again to prevent rust) I also have a paint that is in the Miami Blue code to finish off.

Tony McVeigh Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Also, keeping the spoiler, factory fitted and the only one I can find for sale in unpainted grey is from Spoox in Leicester! Spookily, pardon the pun, my last 205 was: 205 Gti in Sorrento Green 1 of 300 and I bought it from a guy in Leicester in 2007, and Spoox done loads of work to it!

I'm sure they shipped like that from the factory. Looks lovely though. That 90s cheese spoiler will add the horsepower that auto box absorbs I'm sure. Looks grotesque but adds a je ne se qua!

Tony McVeigh Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 @loserone So, treated the couple of bits of rust with rust converter, high build primer, and EMY code paint. Not fantastic, but much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
