Hey I'm Geeky from Ipswich and having used the forums to help fix various parts of my car so I thought I should sign up.
I have a 306 1.6LX auto which I bought four months ago, the car is mechanically sound (apart from the AC) it is the paint work in a few spots and a damaged front wing which are the problems but it should be fun learning to fix them.
Many thanks.
Geeky.

No pics yet but more details, its a five door in Diablo red previously owned by an Italian guy so there are small dents and scratches everywhere and some bumper scuffs I'm going to have a go at fixing.

Welcome to the club. Youre in luck with diablo. Im based in Woodbridge and ive got two diablos. One state which is breaking and a 1.8 which is my current project but that will be gone soon as ive just got a rallye. Let me know what you need and you can come and collect them one evening. Got a freshly painted diablo bonnet I can let go cheap.

Thanks Eeyore, I did spend 60 quid on eBay this morning buying various bits, I may be looking for a rear bumper and an offside side skirt as they have cracks in, going to try and see if they can be fixed first.

If tomorrow is good I will take a few pics, as for stuff after its fixed I may try some small customisations on the interior but for the moments its just problem solving.
I have the five door Eeyore, the side skirt is a big thing to fix as I noticed when I went for fuel earlier the cracks have become larger and there is a small hole at the rear of the skirt.

Thanks 7057sam, this place has been a great help and has given me a few ideas to customise, but for now my goal is to fix the various bodywork issues.
