Little dog build

[OMEGAxCC]

Hi all,

Always wanted to do one of these as i love reading other peoples and it will hopefully keep me motivated on working on the car and its upkeep. 

I guess i should start from the start. When i bought the car i knew it needed welding in the usual places so quickly arranged it to get done and the place said it would help if i removed the carpet, so i did.


Only to get told my car is too new for them to work on, i guess they wana stick to old restoration work instead which confuses me as surely work is work and welding a younger car would be easier   
 
Anyway while the seats were out they got a good clean.


In person looks pretty new, i'm impressed with how they turned out. The drivers side has some wear that you can see in some pictures but not wore through at least and i'm tempted to put a bucket seat in to help preserve the original as much as possible. Plus i'm just a bit too tall for me to get comfy in but bearable for now despite my head hitting the roof if i maintain any form of posture. Though it have to be a easily reversible thing and be a decent bit lower not sure how realistic this will be.

Next on my list was to swap the radio as the one in the car did not have a face as previous owner had lost it, was expecting this to be a pain in the arse but then turns out it wasnt even secure in the car only this white stuff holding it in by the fascia so popped out far easier than expected and new/old one put in from my other 306.

   


As it was a nice day i also decided to vacuum the boot and put the boot mat from my other 306 in.


Ignore the badge

I decided that the headlights annoyed me enough to see what difference cheap toothpaste can do, unfortunately no before shot but this is much better than they were.


Then one time after washing the car i decided to try clay barring the bonnet out of curiosity and wow what a difference that made and left if feeling like glass. I then went on to attempt applying wax, don't think i did that well a job but hey at least the water beads nicely.
 

Then more parts donated from my other 306 in the form of front speakers.
 

These sound awesome but whatever is now vibrating in the door because of them does not. At first i thought it was the clear plastic behind the speaker and folded it up out the way but still get the sound. Any pointers to what it may be would be a great help as i don't wana weigh the car down with sound deadening. it sounds like it is coming from the middle of the door if that helps.

Kept forgetting to start this thread so what i had done to the car kept building up to this hopefully smaller posts from here on.
