The reshell only took two weeks to sort out due to a few faults that cropped up. You do a bit at a time, then move on to the rest of the car. sadly me and 306s don't really go well, when working together, but gel really well when driving!

Its good to see that you saved her though to a very high standard. I always wanted to do the MG Metro turbo conversion on a the last phase of Rover Metro's.

I hear good things about the drive of a 306 so I cant wait to get ir dun. Just hope my rear quarter aint rusted through like some of the cars I have seen on on here :O

sadly this shell was supposedly be better than my Red one, so the mot tester tells me, the laugh is, the gta 16v had a f*cked inner sill and an outer sill and a f*cked floor pan, this car, has a f*cked floor, inner arch and outer sill! I told the mot tester that, I question that this one is better shell! He said well it is a H plater, the other was only a year younger a J plater.
you will love the 306 mind, and you will enjoy it even more as you will have rebuilt it. Sometimes I do wish that I should have bought a 6 and rebuilt that, instead of metros.
If you want to do a few mods, do a lot of research and ask people who have done it, The lads on here a proper hard core for their info!
