Another person who's giving me workshop envy!!!! That 205 looks surprisingly tidy underneath. Plans?

The 205 is pretty good considering its 29 years old, some surface rust on the boot floor but nothing major. All saveable. It's on the rig to fix some dodgy previous repairs: a shocking sill repair, and some crap rear bumper bracket repairs. Then tidy up the rest and protect it and a full respray. The late 80's 205 shells are brilliant, hardly rust at all compared to everything else of the era!
Final spec will be: Original 8v engine with Skip Browns GTI-S conversion, LSD, Bilstein Forest spec dampers on Eibach 7001's, 309 GTi front wishbones, Brand new rear tube with 21mm TB's, modified welded and bolted 306GTi6 24mm rear ARB, Citroen ZX (non-ABS) rear arms (-ve camber), Bilstein Group A '2313' rear dampers, plus Baker mounts etc.

Bit of both, i bought the rig on Ebay, but had to fabricate my own frame for the back end:
