THE_Liam - Project Beige - THE_Liam - 15-08-2012
Here we go again, another car I won't keep 5 minutes! Basically, I hated my Skoda. It was broken in several different ways and because it was taking all my money in petrol and insurance, I couldn't afford to fix it. Stupid idea to buy it really, but I thought I'd see what all this VAG hype was about
I needed a car desperately, that was cheap as f*ck to run and buy so I could run around in it for a few months while I save for a nice HDi D-Turbo, and so I could sell my Skoda and pay off my debts in time to go to Cornwall in September. I agreed a deal with a guy in Stockport for a black phase 1 D-Turbo with a Bosch that was absolutely perfect, and then made a deal with the dealer I bought the Skoda off to buy it back. Then the tw*t decided to sell it to someone else a few hours before I was due to pick it up
That left me desperately needing a car TODAY. Luckily I found a decent looking XRDT in York, went to look at it. It was advertised at £495 which I didn't think it was worth with a beige interior and 4 months T+T, but I tried him with an offer of £250 cash and he accepted

I'll get some better pics when it's not pissing with rain
Good points:
- Bosch pump
- T2
- 4 month T+T
- Straight beam
- Drives really well
- Loads of history
- Old boys car, 1500 mile since last MOT
- Drives really well, better than either of my other 2 306s
Bad points:
- Beige interior
- Hole in back bumper
- Beige interior
- Missing hubcaps
- Beige interior
- No CD player
- Beige interior
- Dodgy engine mount
- Beige interior
Also, I hate the beige interior
Not gonna do much with it because it's temporary, probably just put some Speedlines on it, stage 1, just bits I can fit to my HDi when I get it

never seen a beige interior on a 306 before haha! Keep it !
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Toms306 - 15-08-2012
Eurgh, that interior is disgusting, and that's coming from a mk4 owner!
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - THE_Liam - 15-08-2012
It's not the bloody best is it? Might go mad with some black spraypaint
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Rippthrough - 15-08-2012
That's worse than my base-model wooden plank with sick-pattern cloth seats.
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - c.gerrard - 15-08-2012
Dibs when you sell the interior

Not quite worse mate, this runs on 4 cylinders
Well, once it's warm
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Rippthrough - 15-08-2012

Course they can! What about a primered base-spec petrol with a 3-pot lawnmower engine?
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Rippthrough - 15-08-2012
You've got Beige seats.

If you can be bothered to spend a full day removing the dash then yes!
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Niall - 15-08-2012
I like that actually!
Oh hold on its my alter ego that's a raging homosexual who likes sex with geese in cars with beige interiors.
It's horrible.
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - 1616six - 15-08-2012
Looks like it was originally white but someone with a serious smoking habit has been spending a lot of time in it.
Beige.
Beige.
Beige.
Hearing aid beige.

Meh, it was cheap. Way I see it, Bosch pump is worth £100, rest will weigh in for £150, boom.
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Mattcheese31 - 15-08-2012
ha ha i have seen those before, only came in the real early ones . . . . it'll look a lot better with some half leathers and a proper steering wheel mate . . . .
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Connor - 16-08-2012
Get some Roland Garros seats and itll look a load better
THE_Liam - Project Beige - THE_Liam - 16-08-2012
Still tempted to just take a can of spray paint to it
It is quite an early one, can't remember last time I saw an L-plate besides Phils...
Re: THE_Liam - Project Beige - WiNgNuTz - 16-08-2012
Just stick a big tin of black paint on the drivers seat and drop a rookie in...Mr bean style. Should look much better after that!

As I said on FB, the interior is so bad its good! Can imagine this slammed and tuned
THE_Liam - Project Beige - THE_Liam - 16-08-2012

I've got a set of harriers you can have if you want them?
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - cpikey316_ - 16-08-2012

RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Strikeforce - 16-08-2012
Got a set of lazers £10 a corner if you want them
Yeah the beige is awfull but for £250 with a bosch i would of snapped his arm off.
I would rattlecan the whole dash i mean even a bodge job has gotta look better than beige lmao
THE_Liam - Project Beige - THE_Liam - 16-08-2012
I'm trying to think whether I can be arsed, I'm not gonna have it long. Might just rock it for retro lolz, plus my dog is ginger so it might hide the dog hair
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - MissTap_GTI6 - 16-08-2012
Leave it as it is.... "Because Beigecar"....
RE: THE_Liam - Project Beige - Strikeforce - 16-08-2012
If you're not having it long then just keep it as it is and you will get all you're £250 back if not more,
Save the modding for the hdi when you get it

I'm in east Sussex mate, but if you wanna arrange a courier, and cover postage, they're yours, I just need 'em gone.
There's a good 5mm of tread on all the tyres too.
