The 205 GTI is such an icon, every 205 GTI out there still needs some good tender loving care like you are doing.

you are truly an amazingly creative person! Not only are you mechanically inclined but also exceptionally lucky to have a workshop with seemingly no limits however someone else would hardly have the artistic creativity you have shown to your audience since the rebuild of George! Your choice of music with which you backup your videos alone deserves a price. Now it is for me to find the end - still blown by your creativity.

Man I just continue to just be impressed of how relaxing watching you work on a car can be! And once in a while you just casually drop world class cinematography as well. I am really happy with your content just wish it was uploaded more regularly I think that could boost your channels popularity. Cheers.

I have deja vu watching this, as i have a Citroen ZX Volcane that i've been working on for 10 months. So much is the same or almost the same. Engine mounts, the cradle under the engine, transmission, half-shafts, auspuff routing, rear suspension (except mine has discs), and even the spare wheel holder. Very similar car, the ZX was the first car made under PSA collab, hence it's so much like a 205/309. The ZX has the same chassis as the 306. Good luck with the restoration!

Seeing a guy remove rusty parts from an old car shouldn't be interesting, but there's a humour, honesty, enthusiasm, and relatability that makes it so watchable.

Awesome Watch 👌👍

Good job, excited for the series!

Amazing project!

I love the 205 and renault 5 , the french really did a fine job on these hot hatches.

Very glad to have found this series, looking forward to following your progress restoring my all time favourite car. Best of luck

Yippee new project :)

Just out of interest do you lease or own your workshop space?

Super restoration and Car

An unexpected but welcome surprise :)

I started with the same sentiments as yourself in 2017 to make it tidy..but I just got carried away and I have overhauled all the underside paint and all, I hope to rebuild my engine and box this year and then get the shell painted next year but I have not had chance to make progress for 2 years so your series has inspired me to pull my finger out, thank you for this!

Just come across your channel my first car was a 1.6 gti and I’m looking to get another one in the next year, when you started talking about the sump plug I immediately remembered my dad grinding the socket(I still have it in my tool box) then seeing do it brought back so many good memories thank you. Will now sit down and watch this series.

I really like your channel well presented and good camera work. You have successfully captured the art of turning a wrench, and manage to convey the detailed process of mechanical craftsmanship while keeping your videos engaging.

Hi 👋 thanks for uploading this video. Well made and easy to watch. Really interesting content. I've subscribed to your channel and looking forward for more of your video's 👌👍

I can see the connection between the man and the machine ☺️

you are insanely talented!

Great project ! You should put a roof tent on top of it...

Chuckled at the wheel bearing and slide hammer 😅

Long ago there was Peugeot dealership here in the US. So for me, GTI=hopped up Rabbit (Golf). Perhaps one day Peugeot will return, would like to see it.

your workshop is top notch i dont even think we have workshops like that in the uk

Ich glaub's ja nicht... Ich hatte einen 205 XS und ich habe das Auto geliebt. Als ein LKW (meine Schuld) uns trennte kaufte ich etwas etwas ganz anderes und da ich mit einem VW Porsche 914 zuvor eher schlechte Erfahrung mit der Substanz gemacht hatte sollte es der Nachfolger sein - ein 924 ;-) Den fuhr ich mehrere Jahre und dann stand er erst 20 Jahre in der Garage während ich mich an einem Citroen XM (V6, 3 l - geiles Gerät!) und diversen Volvos erfreute. Bis mich ein Kumpel dann eines Tages auf Deine Vidoes hier aufmerksam machte die mich wehmütig in Richtung Garage blicken ließen. Der 924 wurde wieder auf Vordermann gebracht und ist nun seit einem Jahr mit H-Kennzeichen wieder auf süddeutschen Straßen unterwegs. Danke hierfür ;-) Einen 205 GTI (idealerweise der 1,9 l) war damals mein Traum, ich konnte ihn mir nur leider nicht leisten. Wer weiß auf welchen Ideen Du mich noch bringst.... :-)

Nice to see a 205 GTI in so good condition. If you can work in a workshop like this, there is nothing you can't do by yourself. 205 is so easy to work on. Eh, there is one. The rear beam axle but only if the bearings are shot. Otherwise it looks very promising. Clean, repaint and replace with new parts and 205 GTI will be the best daily. Good luck!

It looks magnificent for a decade of stale

Great videos. Bought my self 2 Peugeot 205 for the price of one. Can you please share the link where you bought the repair manual?

Zur Info.. dort ist vorne ist nicht die Wagenheber Aufnahme, auch wenn sie augenscheinlich so aussieht… ;) Das ist ein dünnes Blech, Hohlraum und dann bodenblech.. Aufnahme ist der Schweller direkt, auch wenn es da schmal ist.. ✌🏻

Now you’ll need yet another daily driver, in order not to run the pug during winter!

I want to buy some Peugeot 205 spare parts, can you help me?

No one NEEDS a reason to buy a 205 GTi

This is not restoration

Tolles Projekt und super umgesetzt, gibt's die Möglichkeit mit dir Kontakt aufzunehmen, hast du eine Homepage, Facebook etc. Danke und Gruß Olli
