Pug 205 1.9 GTI. My favourite car ever. Had two 1.6’s and a 1.9. Loves them. My dad was one of the managers at Peugeot in York. Loved these, cannot wait to see it done

Whoever did the welding on that car should be taken to court as a lot of what's been bodged up looks to be structural making the car unroadworthy and a potential death trap, if they are a company they should be sued and closed down. This will be a great project for you Dan and when finished it will be a great car and 100% done properly, I think it needs stripping back to a bare shell then acid dipped then what you get back will all be solid metal, all the rust filler and paint will be gone 👍

An original Hot Hatch. This will make an excellent mini series. The company who did the repairs should be named and shamed, they should also give the owner back all his money and then pay him for the work that needs to be carried out to fix their shoddy workmanship. My dog could carry out better welding than that and she doesn’t have opposable thumbs.
