But being the 90s hatch fan that I am, I wanted to turn her in to a minter. Its not just the price of the car and the wheels, I spend a pretty penny on a replacement engine, timing belt, clutch etc etc and that is just the start!
I wanted a fresh experience with this car and the value of the car does not mean much to me as I intend on keeping it (so it is almost invaluable to me).
Its the learning process also that im gaining from.
Everyone has an OCD side, and I think I just tapped in to it with this project.
Thanks for the post though bud and if you have a project of any kind, I would love to read it.

lol. This made me laugh. It's so easy to get carried away. You(people) start off thinking, I'll just do these few bits and then end up going OTT(not in a bad way, just much further than they planned) on details.
I haven't got a 306, I used to though, a 96 Meridian 1.9 TD 5dr.
I've just picked this up though and am in the process of getting it properly roadworthy (it has a long MOT already, but I wouldn't class it as safely roadworthy):

My other projects are all 70's Saabs and a 71 Hillman Avenger, so FAR too much to get on with and nowhere near enough time.
Keep up the good work mate and most importantly, enjoy doing it as much as possible.
