    Peugeot 205 1.4 XR -

    I have decided it would be fun to drive a car with tweed seats, wind up windows and a choke (!) And a big clock where you would normally find a rev counter for winter.
    This is my pointless purchase of a minty fresh 205 1.4 XR and I love it. Few things to sort but nothing major just need to ditch the horrible incorrect wheel trims and number plates for a kickoff.

    Why? not sure. Getting very rare, and the "cooking" models even more so as the spotlight is firmly on the GTIs, also my mate had 1.4 XR when we were 17 and it was the fastest thing to 30mph ever* it also is also very basic and lets be honest. I really like crap old cars.

    Do do list is looking short.

    Rear washer jet fix
    Remove immobilizer
    Engine mount
    Cambelt and water pump
    Put in anti freeze ( mix looks weak )
    Handbrake adjustment and cables
    Period radio
    Wheel trims
    Floor mats

    Once that is done it really is time warp.

    *probably not the fastest thing ever to 30mph

    Keep it looking like that mate then stick an MI 16 engine or the engine from a 306 GTi-6 in there. I'd love to do that if I had the time to spare .
