Hi All

[Maxx]

Hi everyone, I'm new to forums and thought I'd give this one a go as there is a lot of knowledge here (which I lack) and I love 306's.

I didn't know much about engines, just the basics really but since owning a 6 I've got quite familiar with them

I recently bought an Astor GTi-6 off a friend and it was a tapper from a previous rebuild and in need of some TLC but I fell in love with the handling and feel of the car, and looks obviously

I have a friend who's good with pugs so I got the head rebuilt for cheap... a week later it spun a shell and bent the crankshaft (I've since learnt that it's common after a head rebuild...) So 2 new rods, a new shaft and uprated shells she's now back on the road and running lovely!

So hi everyone! that's my history with the 6 so far, hope I can learn a lot from you guys and share the love for the 306!

Max

Welcome. Think this has been to one of our meets in the past.

Thanks, yes it has been to a few meets in the past, I've seen a few pics and some of the 306s there are lovely

Welcome to the forum

Sounds like you've been a little unlucky with the car so far, hopefully it starts to play nice for you!
