Project Peugeot: Assessing the damage

Things are moving rapidly in our quest to turn a rather tired looking Peugeot 205 GTi into a box-fresh example.

We bought J39 JMR two weeks ago from Matt Kendell of White's Motors in Portsmouth for £1,200. A huge 205 GTI fan, Matt purchased four of the French hot hatches (two of which he still has if you're keen), and quickly realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew.
