old school convertible!

How much would it cost to restore the tent and mechanism of a peugeot 205 ?
I found one , in great condition , at least from the exterior point of view!

Just the material you mean? or a complete hood?

Cheap PVC material £150 - £200. Mohair or similar £250 - £300

Do you have the window section? If not add upto £100 to the above prices for a new one.

Fitting seems to be around £300 so possibly not an easy job. You need someone to work. Where you can leave it and come back later when your struggling.

I'd be extremely wary of taking something like this on. By the sounds of it, not only does it need a hood, but maybe some mechanicals too?

These cars are unloved and certainly not 'old school'. They're a rather naff hatchback conversion. You would be far better looking at something like an mx5 that will have some value when complete. I bought one last year for £800 with a full years MOT.

If you really *must* own a 205 convertible, save yourself hassle and probably and buy one with the work done...

or S2000?

The 205 sounds like a potential money pit!

I was thinking of the cheap and cheerful route, though he could end up spending the cost of an S2000 on a ropey 205 :eek:
