205 Sport Van, Supercharged GTI6

[allye]

Pulled the van out of the hedge, stuck it on some nice high axel stands (and some breeze blocks and started work!)



Some small amount of rust to tackle, normal 205 spots, this is the some total on the entire van thankfully.




Entire phase 1.5 GTI interior which will eventually go in.



Trial fitted the 405 seat, I will be moving the bulk head back to allow more leg room for my extra long legs. These seats look like goodwood seats but are a lot softer and mega comfy.



For anyone interested this is what make it a 205 van! That and lack of windows, also says car derived van on the V5

Salavaged a couiple bits to sand blast paint a re use, all the suspension will be rebuilt, standard GTI suspension so the sub frame went in the bin.



stripped the interior, found under the carpet to be soaked unfortunatly.



But the floor is in perfect condition which is good.



And then the big news! After much deliberation I've decided to sack off the the smokey old XUD and will be fitting a HDI on a stage 1 with no intercooler, should be plenty to punt the van along with 60mpg+ MPG is what I'm aiming for on this.



Picked it up for £200 of Gumtree, bit too good to break! Sold with a noisy 3rd gear, its absolutly fine though, just a knackered release bearing!

Beam and tank off ready for a wire wheel and underseal.
