Eventually here ?

[Mattcheese31]

My First Post on here, Just got myself a 306 Hdi originally as a cheap runaround for work and back and odd bits here and there, paid £200 for it with 9 months MOT 240k on the clock owner wanted off the driveway..., catch was the throttle cable was sticking slightly and was incredibly stiff (temporary rectified with wd40), window switch broken and needed dent on front wing and scraped bonnet fixing (vandalism I think) and paintwork is full of swirl marks. Mechanically the vehicle is fine engine is excellent and exceeded my expectations. Done a few hundred miles in the only one week I have owned it including a long journey last night. Has burned no oil , water even the ac works!!!! and the last service was a few months ago!!. 

I have changed my mind about it being a banger to run to the ground. I have seen opportunity , time for some modifications got bits on the way already!!! :first thing I'm thinking is the engine bay!!. 

I'm also a keen owner of a 350z but did not like the thought of driving it to work and back everyday getting covered in stonechips from lorries and using it as a run around here there and everywhere I really wanted it to be my weekend car. They are absolutely bulletproof mechanically but the paintwork not so....

Good to hear, set a project thread up if you fancy, don't forget the pictures, we all like piccys
