Nope. Its got a few stone chips on the bonnet but thats about it. Its the cleanest 306 i've seen in a long time

This has now been mapped, goes a fair bit better

[Anton]

Map certainly livened this up, been adequate to use as a daily but not 'exciting'. Actually been using it as a winter hack and resting the Volvo, put 3k miles on it so far.

I got a set of Conti winter tyres in 185 60 15 fitted, they were a bit of a squeeze to fit! But they've been great in the wet and more comfortable than the 195 50's that were fitted.

This is making a trip down to Lobbland tomorrow

What happens down at lobbland? I have heard a lot of 306 stuff happens down there haha

[Toms306]

What happens at Lobbland, stays at Lobbland...

Looks very clean

Must be quite a hard find nowadays

[mr_fish]

does look hell of a tidy from the pictures...post lobb land update?

having a guess; its now impounded for ripping up the cornish tarmac when the loud pedal is mashed into the shagpile?

Evening...

Not a very good update after being down in Lobbland. Darren might update this better than me as he has pictures. But it's got a lot of loving thanks to Darren! Hopefully back in my possession soon ☺.

Was meant to update this back along, but forgot!

So Anton bought it down for a new exhaust, but after getting underneath it found quite a few more issues than just that...After doing very little poking, the below issue was discovered:






So decided some immediate action was required as the rot was in a seriously bad state just here....So started out but cutting out just about everything left of the chassis member, and also up a fair way into one of the wheel archs (both sides are gone):





Then got to work plating / welding it all up, stronger / thicker than factory as ever:






And splash of primer, paint and then underseal:






Also noticed the brake lines were in a dangerously bad state, so replaced them from the front of the tank back...The lines literally broke into 4-5 pieces as I removed them, they were so rotton I have no idea how they hadn't already failed!




And also lasting fitted a new 2.5" all stainless winpipe:



Car now back with Anton in a better mood than when it arrived!

[bashbarnard]

God the heck thats some bad rust. Need to clean and underseal both our rust free ones asap really preferably this summer. Nice bit of welding that specially with the plate making.

[Dum-Dum]

That is some impressive rust.
I get the feeling that over the next few years this forum is gonna look like a ford forum with all the body welding that gonna be going on.

[Piggy]

It is a bit worrying I have to admit...

Other than usual rear arches... These used to have a rep for not rusting!

[Toms306]

Its nothing new, they've been rusting sills and chassis rails for a few years now!

Old cars all rust eventually though, particularly with the salty damp roads over here, not sure why this is a surprise.

[Anton]

Thanks for the update Darren!

Win pipe is well win. Haha

This hasn't been used much lately, too busy driving Volvos. #familylife

[Eeyore]

wow that rust is horrendous! D:

[Ruan]

Bet you a lot of 306s are like it, just nobody actually pokes around under the underseal to reveal quite how bad it is!

The underseal sadly just covers it up and holds any moisture against the metal and lets it rot from the inside out.

[Anton]

This is now the daily workhorse.

Bits done:
New cambelt/waterpump and tensioners
New Aux tensioners and belt
New ABS sensor
GTI6 Front brakes
Continentals in the original 55 profile

[MY95]

Moar pics needed, sounds good though, getting rare now are 3dr D Turbos!

[Anton]

Yeah getting harder to find now. So worth fixing up in my opinion.

I'll try and grab some pics but essentially a standard 306 on the outside lol, apart from the 2.5 inch straight through and GTI6 brakes

[Piggy]

Nice to drive this, nice touches like the boot liner etc. Duno why exhaust is so boomy though. Weird ressonance.

Whats with your mahooosive siggy btw?

[Anton]

This is potentially for sale if anyone's interested?

[mcglynn]

Details?
