So I'm new to French automobiles, I am 17 and I have owned two triumphs already one being a sedan and one being an estate. I am looking for a 205 gti to daily and restore just because they are amazing cars and have always wanted one and am now in a position to buy one and restore one :)

Sweet. Factory engines are like scrap value so should be easy to accumulate mechanical bits!

Awesome man!! the one thing im bloody glad i did when i brought my first (and only) 205 at 17 was wait till you find a good example!! i waited a year before getting mine. So much better starting with a nice car that you dont have to change and fix the plain things first, that means you can hoon into making it fassst.  8)

Welcome. Good plan.

And congratulations for not wanting a Honda/Nissan/Toyota.
