What do you do with a 31 year old 205 GTI?

Our brief was to make it look fresh once more, tidy up the engine bay, install new brake and fuel lines and replace a few trim parts. The car had been stored in a well-ventilated barn but did have some scrapes and scratches from its time standing. 

After careful consideration it was decided that the whole car would benefit from painting. The precious exterior plastics were carefully removed and stored, the glass removed, and the bumpers and lights put away for safe keeping. The engine was removed, and various parts cleaned, plated and powder coated to bring it back to original condition. 

Once the car returned from the Bodyshop we were able to install the new brake and fuel lines, refit the engine and commence the delicate task of refitting the exterior plastics. A fresh MOT and some detailing from our friends at Reset Detail and she now looks a million dollars.
