So after selling my car to dum dum on here (without really wanting to get rid of it) I needed a new car for myself. I did consider buying something newer but i couldnt do it after the love i had for my 2.1 estate. Then the estate that i had to give to my wife as i wrote off her daily. So a Plan was hatched to get a 306 estate with lowish miles on with working AC for a reasonable amount of money. After watching one on ebay for a while i decided i would have a cheeky bid as i had spoken to the bloke a few times and shown interest. Put a max bid in of £750 and got it for the starting bid of £400 with no other bids and a years ticket on it and 117,000 miles on the clock.
So the look around to see what i had bought blind began. First a good look round to find the standard issue. P bushs gone. Its also had a rear axle bush knocking. But apart from that there was nothing wrong. So i set about getting those done and getting the cambelt kit, service kit on. Next was the aircon, this was a must for this build!! I worked the magic of nitrogen at work to find the leak and it turned out to be a condenser. replaced the condensor leak checked and gassed now i have ice cold AC.
So thats where it is now. However this is me so im not going to stop and accidently bought a full intercooler kit for this the other day in a moment of weakness although i am saving for my own project car. So i daresay at some point that will go on.
comments thoughts are welcome.
