The Devil Is In The Detail

Hi, well i have taken a good look round the 205 GTI and the extent of the work required is roughly what I was expecting for the body / chassis, however ALL the suspension, braking and steering components are looking VERY tired.
Here are some pictures looking round the front end of the car.
So the next operation is to set the ratchet firmly to "un-do" and get going with taking it to pieces.
The Anti-Roll bar drop links prove to be the only real sticking points, these I have cut off to save messing about (they needed to be replaced with new anyway), I can then deal with the offending seized nuts at a later date.

And that's basically how it stands at the moment. 
The dismantling will carry on, next up is engine removal, I'll share that story in my next update!
Thanks for your time and interest.

Checking the VIN number of the vehicle can help ease finding parts
