Project lemon revived
#1
So as a few will know I bought Paul_13's 306 estate  off him. 

Link to Paul's old thread for the car http://306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=27416

He told me everything that was / is wrong with it but at the price I paid I had nothing to loose , and I had just driven my daily through what was supposed to be a foot deep of water but turned out to be nearer middle of the windscreen height which promptly f***ed it of course. 

How it looked when I bought it - shamelessly stolen from Paul's old thread

So issues with the car 

It had smashed into another car head on - put on a new front end and rad 
Cuts out - Paul gave me a new relay which sorted this 
Battery was knackered - nicked one out of my 405 before it got scrapped 
Power steering was leaking - 5 cap fulls of brake fluid in the PS tank solved this 
Exhaust nearly fell off - new exhaust clamp 

After this it ran sweet for a few thousand miles defiantly got my money worth from it 

How the car sits now

Engine bay - after being jetwashed multiple times still no cleaner

Current issue`s are 

Its cutting out a 2.5k revs at full throttle fpr has been replaced as has fuel filter and the lift pump has been cleaned - though something looks broken inside it. 

Major boost leak - need to get underneath and look for it 

Rear heated window doesn't work ,neither does the back wiper but not bother about this 

Bumpers aren't same colour as the car 

Loom is chopped up as before - going to replace entire loom at some point

AC is f***ed and likely to never work again

Overall its not a bad car for what I paid and I quite like it now so will slowly (very slowly) be repaired 

Some random images
