Jimbo's 51' white HDI estate ROLLING ROAD RESULT - Jimbo - 27-10-2014
As most know my ph1 kingfisher dturbo was regrettably sold, due to being too small and unpractical for me having two littleuns, so estate was really the only way to go. I was always going to stay 306 obviously.
Anyway picked up a 2001 '51 meridian estate in bianca white (cheap tax ;))
Paid 255 quid for it off ebay with Short Mot and short tax needing a new beam
Thanks to Mike B for the lift up to Bristol for it. Drove 100odd miles back trouble free pretty much, steering felt floaty. I soon realised when home it had 10psi in one tyre and a track rod end was excessively fooked!
Bought an ecu of here with a stage 1 pro steve map on it. Made it pull really well compared to standard, still convinced a stage 1DT On a bosch pulls better mind. Hdi defo drives nicer daily though.
Fitted a beam and some new brake pipes got me an mot ;)
Pics next day

One of the nicer looking estates from around the time in my opinion.
406 is pretty boring in comparison
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - mikey b - 27-10-2014
Bout time you got a thread started get some pics up tomorrow after the tints are on still a good bargain for the price you paid
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Piggy - 27-10-2014

Cheers buddy, appreciate it
Plans are tints, booked in tomoro at global tints
Raise the front a little
I want to go stage 2
Keep it looking clean i guess, its easy to go too far and make stuff look chavvy/crap
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Poodle - 27-10-2014
Love the stealths on it, subtle colour too.
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - 1616six - 27-10-2014
I really like this, it's subtle.
Keep the roof bars btw, they look awful without them..
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Jimbo - 27-10-2014
Again, cheers guys
Only had this a few weeks, and as it stands probably owes me about 500 quid all in.
Yeah defo keeping the roof bars, they look well odd without them
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Frosty - 28-10-2014
Good to see a project thread up for this. I look forward to seeing the out come of it with the tinted windows
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Jimbo - 28-10-2014
There being done as we speak
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - LewisG - 29-10-2014
White estates look well smart with tints!! Can't decide on my moonstone state not sure how it will look
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state - Jimbo - 29-10-2014
Tints are done, very happy with how they look. Went for 20% film

RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - Piggy - 29-10-2014
Good. Now it needs the tops of the rear lights to be painted black and it will be perfic!

So i fitted a new double relay (brown one) a different lift pump.
Cleaned all the earths on n/s chassis leg up front
And took apart the engine loom connections cleaned up etc
And touch wood shes behaving again now which is good
And bashbarnard tints were 174inc VAT so average price but considering theres 7 windows that have been done thats not bad. Came with a lifetime warranty too which was a bonus.
Company who done them were called global tint
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - Toms306 - 29-10-2014
I'm not usually a fan of tints on 306s but they look alright on the white estate tbf! Could do with a GTi splitter imo though...
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - Jimbo - 29-10-2014
Yeah maybe look out for a splitter at some point, need to raise the front up a bit first
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - bashbarnard - 29-10-2014
I do like this may have to get my windows done. Its good that they are lifetime warranty with em. Got to agree with tom a gti splitter would really set this off. Love a white car
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - af1 - 29-10-2014
black masks do look good
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI state* TINTS DONE* - DougalDT - 02-11-2014
Looking good for what little money it has cost, needs a zaust like frostys imo

Centre console looks sick mate, really like that! Looks like you're making good progress as well, keep it up!
RE: Jimbo's 51' HDI estate - Jimbo - 14-12-2014
Cheers buddy, lucky for me a mate has just started a business doing the hydro dipping so i had it done cheap
Really cool how its done and the finish is brilliant
