could try asking on www.forum.205gtidrivers.com . I seam to remember that isn't not a easy job to get the wings off an old car without damaging them.

Yes you will need new head bolts not expensive

You might need new exhaust manifold studs and nuts as they can snap or suffer very bad corrosion

Not difficut, virtually impossible to get off without damage due to the seam sealer used. Effectively bonding the wings to the bodyshell.

Not really true if you use a flexiable bread knife or similar and heat it. Take your time and cut through all of the sealer and they come off a treat.
Get on to www.205gtidrivers.com and join the forum loads of info on the 205's.
