Right so as James has said we got this picked up yesterday and got it down to my work due to the fact its just down the road from where Danny had the car to and don't want to drive the car to far with the heater matrix pissing out coolant and no mot. So I think the plan is to get the heater matrix sorted and get it mot'd while its at my work.
So had nothing really to do this morning and the fact I just love working on 306s
I fort that I would help James out and make a start on the heater matrix which I didn't mind to much as I have done a few before and had the dash out of my Dturbo the other week so I knew where all the bolts to undo where etc. got all the scuttle and wiper motor stripped out. Could tell the car had been sat for a while due to all the leaves etc in the scuttle.

Then set about the inside taking the centre consoles out and unbolting the steering column and dash. Once all that was done the dash come forward enough to get to the heater box

Now I could get to the heater matrix. I poss think it has had 1 before due to 1 bolt being missing holding the matrix in. Any way out come a sad looking matrix

And that was as far as I got. Couple hours so I don't think it was to bad. James now needs to get a new matrix and then we will see about fitting it which will prob be after FCS.
Just a pic of mine car next to this 1 car

Glad to see James has bought this car though. Needs a bit of work but nothing he cant sort out and make this an awesome little car.
