#1: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: Mrs_Howey, Location: WorthingPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 8:19 am ---- Me and Howey borrowed some money off my lovely mummy to buy a new project
It's a 1991 (year i was born) 205 1.6GTI in white.
It's been in a small accident and needs a new bumper, indicator, plastic arch trim and a bit of rust which needs a plate welding on to.
Needs it's head gasket doing but still runs.
Needs the repair on the front seat and rear as it has a rip in the fabric
But other than that it is wondeful, Heres a few pictures of the damage and how she looks.
Enjoy
Howey gave her a clean:

#8: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: colinn, Location: IpswichPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 8:50 am ---- I think about getting a 205 every now and then but not sure where I'd put it - nice project.
I'd put on the 14" pepperpots that it's supposed to have though
#9: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 8:54 am ---- those speedlines are cooler than the pepper pots !!
#10: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: Luke, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:07 am ---- Looks a good project. How bad is the head?
I've seen some dirt cheep 205GTis about recently, but some really pricey ones too. How much did you pay?
#11: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: pug150, Location: birminghamPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:13 am ---- how much did you get that for?
#12: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:18 am ---- Pepperpots are poo and will be on there over my dead body! haha!
It is staying completely standard and the aim is to turn it into a concours vehicle!
Luke: we havent had chance to inspect the head yet and we paid £560 for it including brand new unfitted clutch and oil filter. It also has a fair amount of service history too! Only failing on washerjets in october
#13: Re: The Howey's Project White Retro Classic Author: NathanG, Location: Ebbw Vagas (Wales)Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:24 am ---- I used to have a 205 GTI in about 96ish i f**king loved it, met with another car round a bend unfortunately. Great cars
