I'm guessing I should really be keeping it stock and restore the paint and punt it. But I never bought it as an investment. I bought it to take to Knockhill as it cost less than a set of tyres used to cost for the fat Datsun.
up to you on that one, you got to ask will you get your hands on another one like that?
I have toyed with the idea of changing cars, i have been with the 306 for 11 years ( 1st one was a Phase 1) and i have the HDI for nearly 10 years now. She is still not remapped, i did toy with the idea of going Defender but this car hasnt been any trouble at all. I may just decide to keep it as a second car, and give it a overhaul and maybe a few tweaks here and there. Like some of the classic owners do, After all we do have a good data base and how to guides. Got to say this for 306 community the info isnt full of shite, like some of the other forums i have been a member of in the past.

Thing is I feel kinda bad ruining this car when i apart from paint it's a collector. But I bought it 2 years ago and it's only now that the value seems to have gone up. But in that time I've 'wasted' thousands on the stereo upgrade and putting on the b12, xsara fast rack, black masks, Oz wheels. The only thing I did which added value was get the AC working.
With hindsight I should have spent the upgrade money on a car that someone had already done all the things I had, kept the first one mint and used the second one. But then I don't have the space and part of the idea was to try and do the upgrades myself as much as possible (fail).
But the one thing you can't buy is how much fun it is to drive! And it would be a shame to lock it away!
