205 1.9gti 1990

[Kezzer30]

So firstly hi to you all as its been a while since i was last on here almost a year im fact , as some of you know i had a 1.4 which is now broke up and scrapped/sold.



But time for bigger/smaller things , i bought a 205 in white dont have a pic to upload im afriad but i will start with how it look after it got resprayed in diablo red and i personally aprayed the trims





So i put the big pro races alloys on her and this is how she looked but keep reading before u judge , i went for a different look with the white trims but i had to agree it didnt look like i had imagined it to









A few new additions was a sticker and squidy from the 306





These were the gold speedlines that she came with id just sanded them down at this point





Primered





Centers done





Coloured an laquered all done myself with compressor (not a good one tho)





After deciding the 17s where too big for such a small car i put the speelines back on









Then came the auto bonnet





Sanded with some filling work





Primered





Coloured and laquered and buffed , doesnt look as good as that got alot of bits in it and my compressor was poor then but was a good effort





Auto bonnet on



Coming up to not so long ago now , i bought a mew compressor at this point and was keen to see what i could do with a better one so i decided to smooth the rear panel





As she starts

---

Fibre glass paste and sanded





Filler





Primered , just a glimpse of the new bertha in corner





Coloured , laquered and buffed , now this came out quite well and was happy







On the car doesnt sit flush due to lack of bend but the proper smoothed panels go for 80 on ebay so i was happy with this





The finish



Now we come to just 3 days ago , my biggest task yet





In the garage for her 3 day make over





Masked up which took me bloody ages!

Primered







Coloured and laquered





Pulled her out this morning







Quick wash and back toghter





Then i buffed and flatted the arches









Could only get the small front strip on as its the only one with the clips haha will get rest on a show u all finished product in a few days



Hope u all like although thats impossible haha much much more i will be doing to her so keep looking





How she looks now with side strips on just need to get rear one on now ,

Next plans are too lower her very soon ps sorry for the weird intro at the top as i took it from elsewhere etc

I will also add the car was white when i got her and i had it sprayed ( not proper pro like) in red

Also a small thing about me is im a very keen sprayer who i still learning and you can see how im getting along in thi thread nothing ive done is perfect but im getting there , please all feel free to comment let me know what you think
King regards

Christ I saw the first pic and was like "oh my f*ck.." Then saw the respray with the white strips! Much better! Still prefer the standard looks, but each to their own!

[Kezzer30]

I went for something different realised id made a big mistake lad and quickly ammended them and thats fine lad people do like the 205s standard and i have respect for that

[Curt]

Would look nice with black bumpers and trim, just doesn't look right colour coded IMO

I agree it would look fine with nice black bumpers etc but imo it looks alot cleaner and sleeker in red but i respect everyone has different tastes and its all good lad

[Dan!]

The final stage actually looks spot on imo. Certainly didnt look right with white bumpers. Lowering will set it off well

Cheers dan , since i put it all red its had a great reception not all like it an a few have said they would change the odd thing etc but the cars not finished yet plenty more to do and glad u like it .
But i will always get people who simply prefer them standard but i like to be different and aint afraid to try something new (as you can see haha)

[Oil-burner]

Some good progress here.

Your spraying looks like its coming on well too!


Any one else think it looks a little bit like a metro when its all colour coded in the last pic?

[Dan!]

Reminds me more of an S1 106 rallye in its all red guise :-)

cheers lad and yeah one or two have said it has a metro look about it lol not sure if thats a bad thing or a good thing i guess

[Oil-burner]

Depends who you ask, im sure proctor will be around any minute spunking himself dry!


I think I would go back to black trim personally but fair play for going your own way with it.

[Kezzer30]

Hahha proctor has already seen it haha and well thats fair enough

[Piggy]

I was like hell no...but with colour coded it looks good...

I think some anthracite wheels rather than white would be better though

[puglove]

God am i glad you have got shot of all that white!

[Kezzer30]

God am i glad you have got shot of all that white!

Me too haha

[c.gerrard]

The first attempt looks like something I used to create on Saints Row

Looking good now that mate

Haha cheers

[Scott]

So glad that the white trim went! It really didn't look right, but it's nice to see who the car has come along, and as mentioned how your spraying has come along as well. I think the rear bumper will need the matching white strip to complete the look, but it looks decent with the colour coded trim!

[Jake]

I knew you would see sense!

I saw the white Trims on Facebook ages ago and really wasn't a fan. Looks brilliant now! You look like you pretty handy with a spray gun.

All it needs now is a small drop, then it will look spot on.

Good work!!

[Kezzer30]

Ok so today i had a day off and decided i would make myself useful , i started by putting the rest of the white strips on and touching up the edges of the red trims due to a few small bits been missed.

Then i decided i wanted to tidy the car up abit more now all the shuts need painting red but i decided i would make a start under bonnet to start with it looked like this .


As u can see not very tidy just some over spray on edge of wing and the just dull dirty rusty white , so i decided i give it a clean


Panel wiped it down moved a few wires and then got to work on the rust bubbles


Abit of aggression later haha ( few other small bits i did)


Then i noticed this little bit lurking down the edge i decided i could get to it so i took it down haha

I then decided to take light out and see if i could get anything else


Another wipe down and some more little bits found


Some more agression later haha




Gave it all another going over


Decided to make a half decent job of it took off strut brace and sanded down the suspension area then cover up the engine bits


Primered


Coloured


Laquered

Only used cans as its not on show all time theres a few reactions ( which i expected) but it will help it look abit tidier , will get round to other side at some point

[Piggy]

sweet!!!

[puglove]

Looking at how piss poor the paint job is on the wing here. I.E leave the bonnet on and spray it rather than take it off mask up the bat and spray it properly and get the inner surfaces of the wings, PLEASSSSSSSEEE tell me your sprayed the door shuts & boot shuts on this????

Well if you read the update you will have seen the answer is no , why u may ask , the spray job was free mate i didn't do it , it was taken to a business unit and done for nothing i could not expect the whole thing doing and thats the whole point of my update I'm tidying it up the bonnet wasn't taken off or anything and ive stated that Aswel so very sorry to disappoint but u dont get a showroom full spray job for free

[puglove]

Ah i see , iv got you on FB and seen you spraying stuff left right and center in your garage, thought you were a sprayer or somthing

Im getting there lad once again if u read my full blog you will see im getting the hang of it very keen an trust me once i. Feel in good enough i will be redoing the entire car myself , by trade im a chef lad haha

But yeah i agree it looked crap hence getting more red in there so it looks abit more tidy

[puglove]

Ah i see. Gotta say fair play for spending the time and money to get the practice in. Id love to be able to spray. But i get board to easy in the prep stage and end up with a wank spray job and end up doing it again properly

Haha well a few things ive done need redoing due to not doing things ( ive now learnt ) and also i had a dreadful compressor which was making it very hard to get decent finishes , i just did this bit with cans its under bonnet an i just wanted to kill abit of rust and even out the red , other sides gunna be fin theres loads of stuff in the way haha

[puglove]

Yeah theres nothing worse than when the compresser cant keep up. Iv only got 100lr abd the compressor still cant keep thar going :/
