  We prove that Godeaux--Reid surfaces with torsion group Z/3 have topological
fundamental group Z/3. For this purpose, we describe degenerations to stable
KSBA surfaces with one 1/4(1,1) singularity, whose minimal resolution are
elliptic fibrations with two multiplicity 3 fibres and one I_4 singular fibre.
We study special such degenerations which have an involution, describing the
corresponding Campedelli double plane construction. We also find some stable
rational degenerations, some of which have more singularities, and one of which
has a single 1/9(1,2) singularity, the minimal possible index for such a
surface. Finally, we do the analogous study for the Godeaux surfaces with
torsion Z/4.
