Good Morning,
In the interests of re-building the AF database of info and to update the progress on my 205, I will slowly add more info and photos. *cough* stolen from Isis's thread *cough*
Basic history:
It started life as a white 1.6 gti and was used as a press-car (i've got the original NZ Car mag where it was on the cover being thrown around a gravel quarry.) In 2002 the pervious owner - Mark Herbert -built the car for the 2002 Dunlop NZ Targa, and unfortunately didn't finish the race due to an accident. Mark repaired the car and then it's sat in his workshop waiting for the finishing touches to be done since then.
In 2008 went to see Mark to price up a rollcage for the 306, after 30 min of looking at the rollcage in the 205 to show me was he would do - i was sold - nice rollcage it was going to be... Mark then as i was walking out the door asked if i would like to buy the 205. I took 1 day for me to confirm that i could purchase the car - re: The GF approving that i spent the money on buying the car instead of a trip to the states, which as you can tell by reading this it was...
The car will be used for tarmac events until i can afford the undercar protection and gravel suspension - so i'm figuring a few years off... (note: 2 yrs later i'm still not able to afford it... hehe)
