Only thing that ive been holding into thought of it possibly keeping motor and dropping it in an old 505 gti or something retro win, but then i just think, if im buying a 505, id want to drop a 6 pot in it, so that then means the engine is pointless also.Bit of advice DONT sell anything for a long while! Since my 3-0 Ive had various cars, 230bhp cdi, 525tds tuned a bit, toledos tuned slightly, have audi with mapped 130pd, had civic coupe was gona turbo but....., even have a wee b16a sir delsol atm. Nothing has been the same to the point I cant get the energy or the will to go out and work at them, the honda needs a brake caliper for mot and its been lying months ffs :/
I guess building a v6 mtdi has just made me realise even more the love for the 6 banger, and dropping two pots just hurts to much!
Ive not decided totally yet, as I had huge plans for this over next 12 months, and some of them id already started work on, so not sure at the moment, but the engine could easily be put back together as it was and be a totally reliable smoke free 200hp motor for something / someone.
Selling the 306 for me was pointless and stupid as I didnt need the money or the space, if I still had it would be rebuilt and resprayed this year I miss it so bad nothing has been as much fun to tune or drive since.
Edit hmm typing that out has also made me realise in the last 2 years Ive owned and got rid of more cars than in my whole life looking for a replacement for the 306, had a 405 for 2 years then the 306 for 5 years previous lols
