After initially looking at 1.6 GTis and coming to the unhappy conclusion that i can not afford to insure or run one (or my current 306 frown) I came across today a very tidy 1.8td 205, with 12 months test for 400 notes.

Am i right in thinking that the Tds have the same suspension as the GTis? With the solid bottom arms etc?

It is K reg and has no rust at all - inner wings are sound as are the tops of the b pillars. I reckon itll look alright on a set of 1900 wheels.

Any thoughts, ideas, comments, or abuse appreciated. hehe

Cheers, Roly.

Well, I bought it.

What a little rocket! It seems more accelerative than my old 1.6 306. It does have 1 piece bottom arms, and vented front brakes, a la 1.6 GTi. It handles very well, like a gokart.

Now i just need to work out how to mount an intercooler...
