Helllooo... Just moved to the dark side from Club-306, This is the project so far, not a masive amounts been done other than fixing things
Picked the car up as a bog standard phase2/3 D turbo, nothing had been done, no playing with fuel or boost.....
So this is how she stood, (painted the front badge)
And some with my mates car...
Next in line was to tint the rear lights, only wanted them slightly darker .... ending up like this
Got dored and did the fronts and fogs as it was all being changed eventually...
Most people dont like the look of tinted lights and to be honest i didnt like the fronts ether :/

Soon after the post man bought me these....
Which soon got wrapped around my freshly powdercoated.....
On the car
Same weekend i hit this milestone
a few more cosmetic things going on
Dirty but new lights
Sadly just after this the turbo went pop.. so a new turbo was needed and on inspection the rad was fubared...
Turbo off
New Rad+ saab intercooler
New front bumper
A selection of the parts bought while the caar was off the road, since then i got rid of the alloy intercooler and got a saab one, made all my money back from buying the intercooler kit by selling that intercooler for £80
New front bumper sprayed and on
Side skirts on and a couple of stickers
New brake disks to go on with some hdi callipers
got let loose with some carbon wrap:
Thats pretty much it... untill i stripped it out and found this...
Nice big rust hole :/ well that soon got welded up and painted back to suit, Can still tell but its not that bad, and after a few months of the car being stripped out im ready for it all to go back in, just too impractical not to have back seats and the car just looks messy 24-7....
Also bought a set of coilovers, there the cheap raceland ones but ive heard good things about them, just need to find someone to do the back end and not charge the world for it....
Thats it for now guys and girls

Looks like a nice base and some nice parts you got gathered.
Not keen on the amount of stickers though.

Blimey, that's some serious rust... And who on earth told you good things about raceland?! For future reference; whoever it was is full of the brown, sticky stuff.

Car is looking good mate, would love a Black 306 myself.
Just out of curiosity, have you sprayed the all of the rear lights, or just the top section?
As mentioned, get her lowered, and you'll be pretty much there!.

Not a huge update again but ended up going to a local breakers today to get some new wing mirrors... decided to take the caps off mine and have them wrapped in carbon fibre, ends up my 'mate' has lost them -_-
on the way there i decided to treat her to a hand wash
got to the scrappy and found out the wing mirrors i was having was off my mates old 306 sold it 3 months ago and the new owner blew the box and smashed winscreen -_- so decided to get him his reg plate as a keep sake, while there i got a freeby.....
drivers side vent that had been converted to a guage holder :p
thats all for now lol

Decide that it was about time i started to do some work to the car, borrowed a boost gauge from a friend at uni and pikey bodged it into place.. like so...
Turns out its boosting a nice 1.5 bar or 21psi, fueling could be slightly played with but as it stands theres very little smoke and a good pull on throttle.
Finally got a set of centre caps for the speedlines...
soon got sanded back
Then let the girlfriend loose with a spray can..
(wheel needs a refurb)
Concidering its her first time spraying anything i think shes done an excelent job!
Also got cracking on the boost gauge holder, got a converted vent holder from the scrappy for free a week or so ago, sadly no picture of it before it was sprayed but it was a manky dirty white with chips in it
Anyway let the Girlfriend loose on that aswell, seeming as shed done a good job with the center caps...
While she was busy doing that i was attempting to swap a bumper on a mates picasso just to find out the one extension i needed id snapped -_-
Anyway then got onto re-doing the front badge as it was a little chipped, origionally was going to do it all black again but girlfriend suggested something diffrent ...
So she did the hard part because i CBA
got her to mask all around the lion so i could do this...
Sorry for crap pics, we decided to go and get some food instead of finishing them off till after....
Bought the Girlfriend this for being a trooper
Litterally huge vanilla slice .... I ate half because im top
Also found some parts i bought months and months ago... anyone able to tell me wether this is a Dtub or HDI clutch, i bought it and it was advertised as a Dtub clutch but when my mate went to fit it he said it was diffrent to the one needed??
Will be refitting interior and giving it a good clean over and service before i take it to Santa pod in 2 weeks
