Declantg's Dturbo project - declantg - 05-12-2011

Hello everyone, welcome, wilkommen, hola, bonjour, etc etc etc...

Many of you all no me from pug306 Smile, but here's a run down of myself before we go anywhere Smile

I'm 18 years old, i study land based technology at Easton college, after that i am doing the degree in mechanical engineering Big Grin (because i'm a fool)

I have owned 3 cars since driving (February), my first of which was a little citroen saxo. Worst car ever made i can safely say. second car was a 1.6 meridian 306 which broke after the first week of ownership, £800 wasted. Lovely!

Now i own my lovely little d turbo Big Grin

I first purchased my car in September this year for £750 i think it was? and it came completely stock :/

Lovely to be honest, couldn't fault it

needs to be lower Smile

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 05-12-2011

The first thing i decided to do was to simply change my glow plug, but as simple as this could be, i messed it up.
By i, i mean my dad.

Dont ask how it happened, but he managed to hammer a pipe off some metal plate in my engine, which happened to be a vital part of my cooling system, and also bloody expensive!

After this was all sorted, i changed over my D seal for luck Smile

After this i decided my grimey old spoiler needed some Declan loving so i gave her a new lick of paint Big Grin

[Image: 316436_1981770023815_1230142450_1615985_...6669_n.jpg]

[Image: 318510_1986481461598_1230142450_1619337_...1467_n.jpg]

I wish i had a photo of the spoiler before this, but believe me, it was green and mouldy.

Also then added some "rudeboy" stickers

After this i then took my hand to debadging her!

On my old 306 i attempted to remove the meridian stickers off the side, BAD idea, it ripped all the paint and lacquer off.

but yeah, here's a photo of this.

[Image: 319506_1986480781581_1230142450_1619336_...4605_n.jpg]

Also treated her to a new rear boot badge from Galpin Auto Vinyls.

Leather interior came next Big Grin brought a full set from the scrapyard for £50 quid, pretty decent deal to be honest! although, when i got the seats they were molding as they came off a 306 with no doors...

[Image: 387687_2116827040156_1230142450_1712785_...4460_n.jpg]

Also fitted the decat pipe aswell Smile

Cyclones also got purchased Big Grin
Best £30 ever spent!

Then took the car out for a few well deserved photo's Smile

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 05-12-2011

theywhoshallnotbenamed Christmas meet - 03/12/11

Was a really decent meet, drove 170 odd miles there, ate too many Mcdonald's, got waved at by a guy with an owl, foreigners ruined my cyclones, met tons of new people, watched a bee (DumDum) fight the only wasp in coventry, got some amazing ideas and left with a huge smile on my face Big Grin

Cheers lads Big Grin and ladies Smile

But here are the pics im in Smile
i would upload my pictures, but their off an HTC, you can imagine the great quality...

Copyright goes to whoever took these! i cant remember off the top of my head but thank you!

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 27-12-2011

Whaaaat im actually getting compliments for my bra Big Grin Thank you! yeah i love the badge, indicators are going black aswell soon Smile Tempted to spray the bit between my lights black too

Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - Matt - 27-12-2011

I love them, I want one but mines debadged and the bonnets Matt black so might look silly on mine. Looks amazing though

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 27-12-2011

Yeah i want to debadge mine but i cant be arsed to do it lol

And cheers man Big Grin

I think its more that it wouldnt stand out as much on a black bonnet

Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - Matt - 27-12-2011

Yeah, mines badly debadged, hopefully sorting it and painting g it moonstone like the rest of the car. Then going to get a bra

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 27-12-2011

Bra ftw! only cost me £30 so cant argue Big Grin And atleast yours is debadged! lol I asked to weld mine at college and i got shouted at

Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - Matt - 27-12-2011

£30 where from? And mine wasn't welded atall :/ bodged with a metal plate and filler haha

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - 4WayDiablo - 27-12-2011

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - declantg - 27-12-2011

Only just seen this comment lol But cheers man Big Grin Got a few more bits to do in the next few days, juggling a few ideas

and the cyclones where great until the foreigners blasted the paint off them at the coventry meet lol

Re: Declantg's Dturbo project :) SLOW, but sure :D - Eeyore - 23-01-2012

Just read it all! I did the same thing with my spoiler on the 1.4 but did it in sea grey. I reckon black is too dark! How on earth did you find cyclones for £30 and what scrap yard do you go to? Do they have many 306s in?

Make sure you come to FCS and Pugfest! Big Grin Gutted i couldnt make the christmas meet!
