Declantg's Dturbo project

[declantg]

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

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

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

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

[Matt]

needs to be lower

[declantg]

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

[declantg]

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





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

[declantg]

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.



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

[declantg]

Leather interior came next 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...



Also fitted the decat pipe aswell



Cyclones also got purchased
Best £30 ever spent!

[declantg]

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











Any ideas PLEASE let me know

[declantg]

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

Cheers lads and ladies

But here are the pics im in
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!

[declantg]

[declantg]

WOAHHHH your sig's huage.

Oh, and im on the lookout for coilover's so if anyone here's anything let me no

[Matt]

Get yourself some race land coilover £150 and you get rear shocks with them too

[declantg]

Morettes arrived yesterday

Starting work on them today, just been back from buying a new set of indicators,

Pics before spraying



Will post a pic up when their finished

[Connor]

What colour you doing them?

[declantg]

Gloss black

[declantg]

Havent really updated in a while so here goes

The Morettes have finally been sprayed and fitted

Looked great until some f*cking pikey stole my indicators!!!

[declantg]

Front badge also went black



Also got my boost gauge fitted in

[declantg]

Oh, and fitted a, erm, Car bra...

Prepared for immanent slating!

[Matt]

f*cking love the bra mate! Looks awesome especially with the black badge

[declantg]

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

[Matt]

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

[declantg]

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

And cheers man

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

[Matt]

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

[declantg]

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

[Matt]

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

[4WayDiablo]

looks gooood needs a bit of lowerage though
like the clones

[declantg]

Brought it from a guy i know who wanted it gone

And i cannot argue about the lowering, on the lookout for coilies or 60mm springs

[declantg]

looks gooood needs a bit of lowerage though
like the clones

Only just seen this comment But cheers man 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

[Eeyore]

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! Gutted i couldnt make the christmas meet!
