Thank my lucky stars, managed to pick up a 205 Si for a very reasonable price from Robert at Le French Motors in Brisbane after it's been sitting for some years (10-12 at least, rego sticker says 2008), it's running & driving, so time to freshen the old nugget up and get it back on the road. Plans are a 90% retrim of the interior in red, white and blue velvet (viva la france), a nice cut & polish, get the mechanicals back up to snuff, register it and get to hooning.
Oh what a thicc nugget. Also, double Peugeot, just so you know what you're dealing with.
Interior after a quick vacuum. It's in better shape than I was expecting, but i've never been the biggest fan of grey, so seats are coming out soon for retrimming.
Cargo area, not a fan of the weird faux-leather, perhaps some wood panelling back here? still brainstorming.
Could fit so many eggs in this backseat.
Ruler epoxied into the dash cubby, this came factory with the Si right?
Dash is fairly cracked, but thankfully all the pieces are still there, so with some patience and plenty of strong adhesive I'll learn to not mind it falling off when I go around corners.
Interior out, for cleaning and retrimming
Cleaned up a bit
As a quick project, re-made the shift boot out of red velvet.
Next project is re-doing the seats, theme is going to be french flag. First attempt used a stretchy velvet and did not come out well.
Boy oh boy that aint it. Went and got some higher quality red & white velvet, the blue was actually decent quality, more to come later. If any of you are on the aussiefrogs forum as well, sorry for double posting. :P
