Yes and no
If I was made an offer for its true value in what I've spent on it, which I doubt will ever happen, then I would probably be persuaded to part with it, but otherwise I'll just keep hold of it until the love comes back

Ah yes, I do rather enjoy the way they don't do anything when it's pissing down then go mental when it stops haha
The ones on my dead Ph.2 worked flawlessly...but from speaking to virtually everyone else who has ever owned a 306 it seems that car was the exception to the rule.
They would respond instantly to things like overtaking a lorry on the motorway and the windscreen suddenly getting splashed. AC was nice as well...
but then again, phase win is where it's at.

I've driven it around the estate a few times and over some larger bumps and the only thing that catches is one of the exhaust clamps, still got full lock left and right :-)

Had an interior day
Old seats out and gave the carpet a hoovering of a lifetime
Ph1 rear bench in
Ph1 fronts in, massive improvement over the shit ph3 seats
Chased a blown fuse down to get the radio working again plus replaced a few bulbs on the clocks as there were some dark patches
I'll get around to changing the bulb in the heater controls at some point as it's on and off intermittently

I'm just trying to find stuff to do until I can afford to tax it aha.
Think I'll fit the rallye aux setup over the week once I figure out the belt route, and making enquiries into powder coating for a few parts :-P

Crystals have been dropped off for blackmasks and a set of badges ready for paint too :-)
Priced up how much it's going to cost for my bumper and ph3 strips to be sprayed so only a wing to source now :-)
Hoping to get the remaining bodywork mint in the period between fcs and Pugfest

I've got a cherry wing sitting around doing nothing that you can have if you want it.
Can't remember the phase nor the condition though but will have a look if you want.

I'm holding out for a genuine nile wing still as mine isn't terrible, just got a small ripple behind the light that bugs me, but if nothing comes up before Pugfest il take up an offer of a decent wing to get sprayed :-)

Finally got my blackmasks and badges sorted :-D
And thought I'd finally clean it after nearly 3 months of ownership haha
So keen to find a mint bumper now, only thing letting it down :-(
Rallye blanks going on when they arrive and I'll have to see about getting my ph3 rubstrips painted
Anyone recommend a decent plastic blackening product? Mirrors and scuttle panel looking a bit faded

Looks awesome man!
I use Megs tyre gel on mine, mostly because I have so little black trim I CBA to buy another product, but it does a pretty good job, anyway!

Ah cool, I'll see what I can pick up. Just hate the grey plastic so much but don't want to resort to painting it black as it just doesn't quite look right imo

Heat gun or peanut butter on the trim. Otherwise buy a tyre gel or a plastic dressing. I use auto finesse revive on faded trim.

Plasticare Trim Dye.
It isn't a dressing product, it is actually a polymer-based dye that restores the trim to factory-looking newness.
You can dress the trim after using it, but I just used it and the acres of plastic on the Ph.1 are looking very good so I didn't bother.
