Pug 306 Ph1 DI - PT

[Ricardo 32]

Hi guys, i will show my machine.
This car is in my family for about 14 years.
It's a Ph1 from 94.
And conts with 285 000 km, about 177 000 miles
Here some old pictures (August 2012)





13" was the stock size but i trade to 14" Fondmetal ET18 6J


Paint problem. Here we call orange peel

---

Small detail and with 16mm spacers



i know, that camber ahahha

And i have some details in carbon fiber too

I need to take new pictures

[Poodle]

Not seen those wheels before, fair play. Has that been resprayed at some point, or was the finish that bad from the factory over there? I think jenkosowls did a guide on how to clean some of that up with wet sanding, if you're interested.

[welshpug]

its had paint, even the badges O_o

[Piggy]

Yeah thas been painted for sure. And we call that orange peel here too!! As said though, wet sanding will reduce it dramatically.
Looks smart though

[Ricardo 32]

Yeah, my painter is s**t.
But now the paint is different. I washed the car with a broom everytime and i've got some risks.
Now, i'm saving some money to do a complete paint.
I think i will do a polish treatment.

I will took some pics to show you guys. I must enjoy this 26º C eheheh

[Ricardo 32]

New pictures after washing
It was full of dust because of the sun and the black is the color that sees more dirt
Still some progress to do.



















Meanwhile, i've bought a radio and door speakers. Now the audio is more clean.
I need to take some interior pictures too

Wet sanding and polish can work miracles on orange peel.

Yes, i've bought polish and then i will aply wax.

I will study deeply if i can use sandpaper with no problem

[Jiffy]

I mean polishing with a rotary or DA polisher. I wouldn't recommend trying it without some training/experience. Here's a good example of the results:

Thank you for the link

A friend of mine will lend me a low rotation drill to the polishing. But i dont know if I do in home or if i take to a pro house.

Hi guys

I want to know if the 306 HDi steering wheel is plug and play to phase 1.

[bashbarnard]

Phase ones have no airbag so yes

[af1]

You wouldn't go far wrong with a dturbo front bumper on that!

[Ricardo 32]

Phase ones have no airbag so yes

Thank you

So it fits with no adaptation ?

You sir read my mind xD

I just love that dturbo bumper. I will aply the fog lamps too.
But i'm looking for a good deal. I think i can get one for just 30 euro (23 £)

[af1]

That's a very good deal!!

Yeah should fit straight on. All spline sizes are the same. Obviously the air bag in the middle of the steering wheel wont be connected to anything

[Owen_G_]

Looks good. Hard to beat a black phase 1

[Ricardo 32]

Thank you dude. Your DTurbo is also great

I want to know if the HDi lever (i guess it's the name) is plug and play on my '94 guy.

[Ricardo 32]

[Ricardo 32]

Also remove the back brush

[Ricardo 32]

I bought this a few days ago
(not at 100% but for the price that i pay here, it's fair enough)






Now i need left plug (?) to make the connections

[7057sam]

Looks hundred times better on clones

[Ricardo 32]

now i have 4 second hand tyres Continental 195/50 (current, have 195/55) to put.

[7057sam]

Got any plans suspension wise?

[Ricardo 32]

I dont wanna cut the atual springs.
I think 306 XS springs are a few mm low. Also dont know if 205 springs are plug and play on 306.
I'm still a student so my budget are not so high. I keep doing small things to improve the beauty

[Shiny]

Can't beat a highly polished black finish. Beats any other colour hands down

[Ricardo 32]

i got rubbing compound wax but i think it's to powerful.
my varnish (?) on the roof is getting ugly and some cuts on the paint
