Well I've been quiet on here over the last few months or so after the last project went to heaven and epically regretting it! For anyone considering giving up on a project, don't!!! Just shelf it and return to it later!
So, having decided I wanted another 306 and the missus hdi estate not being enough to satisfy the itch the search began! I wasn't sure weather to go for a '6 as I've never had one or go for something that I could make into a bit of a project.
I then picked this up last weekend!
She is currently a 1.8 16v SE 105k on the clock for £200 quid! Bargain! It came with a nice 2.5" stainless exhaust system too!
Drove 100miles to Leicester to get her then the bloody trailer burst a tyre 4 miles from home! Hence why it is on the side of the road in the pics above.
After a brief wash
The plans are:
Fix roof - has been leaking from one of the hoses but at the moment its not operating at all
Fix remote aerial - this has a crap aftermarket unit in which is getting ridiculously hot and wiping the battery
Fix central locking - currently bouncing back up (door loom??) also both key fobs not working
Begin prep for paint - yep the bodywork is overall pretty good but think a colour change may be on the cards
Lower - I'm thinking very low on this is going to be the only way to go!
Remove engine - the 1.8 is going (for sale)
Acquire a cheap donor hdi - yes you've guessed it
Install a highly tuned 180+bhp hdi engine into the cabby
Timescale: FCS 2016!!!
I will do a proper project thread probably on monday when work begins so I hope this is ok in here for now (Nial)
