Kingfisher FTW. Shane about boot lid. 1.6 8v?

[Redordead89]

Yup yup and yup! Tis only 1597 and 8 valves but it makes me smile a lot everytime I jump in it!
Shame about the repainted passenger door too and leaking passenger door seal but other than that I love it!

Wish I could but I was meant to buy an indestructible (what I been tellin the wife for years) Dturbo for work and save the fragile 307 SW SE110 7 seater I just got in debt for but this popped up on eb's and I couldn't resist the petrol 3 door phase 1!
Nice stainless from manifold back but already craving derv for grunt and turbo and 307 ain't it!
Great place to start project wise with 57k but has bin lids on the rear axle so a bit of thought money wise has to go in to it before i do anything if I can keep it long enough and not kill it!

[Redordead89]

All suggestions are always welcome although does anyone know which 3 door had the darkest Oem tinted glass that will fit??
For the kids of course so mostly rear if there's any difference!

Wanker council fks put about 3 million speed humps in my delivery area :-((((( and mind I'm 39 with 5 kids so already feeling a bit creepy every time a younger female looks at me in it as her male counterpart growls like a twat!

Took a run up the Campsies earlier! Nice but the midges were a pain!

[Matt]

Looks good on the speed lines! I like very much!

[Redordead89]

Thanks Matt! I like them on it too but Green car with white wheels and yellow fog lights is probably just about enough to attract keys and other handheld scrapey objects from the Blue side of Glasgow! :-(

306oc A club like no other

Should of known the man with the green car was from the green side of town.

[PUGNUT_XS]

Good project base, is there any corrosion at all?

[Redordead89]

No corrosion at all! It spent its life in the south so very nice shape underneath for a 19 yo pug!

win win

Ah hh the green and white theme makes perfect sense now.

Wish I could take credit for it but I bought it that way a few weeks ago from Haywards heath and drove it 500 miles home to Glasgow and having only 57k it was sweet as a nut but very boring 500 motorway miles in a 1600 petrol Not a long term car though as temp insurance runs out tonight and I NEEEEED dturbo back in my life!

I was when you posted that. Drove straight up from Pugfest to my parents in Arrochar and then drove home Friday morning but I had visited family in Glasgow so you may of seen (heard) my rallye about.

Never ideal finding a split pad but kinda glad I found it now rather than later!

[Redordead89]

[Ben_w]

Love these. Think that would look ace lowered just a touch on a set of graphite Cyclones... Think I've seen one like it before

[Redordead89]

   
Got sick of looking at this dent since the day I bought her so had a little go at it today!
