My new 306. She's a phase 3 xsi, used to belong to Matt.
Obviously there is a fair bit to do, suspension, engine mounts, engine, interior, bodywork, bonnet, bumpers, wheels, brakes, exhaust, lights and so on and so forth.
I have a few plans, most I'm keeping under my hat for now, purely cuz I don't want to plan lots of stuff then not be able to afford it.
On the road plan is for the spring/summer, and want her looking good for FCS '13
Enjoy

haha thanks Ed! The NAD always gets my love! Some of the bigger plans you know for it won't be going on for a while, that's the most expensive plan!

haha yeah, even when you're a bit closer, it still *looks* ok, feels rouger than a badger's arse tho! had a go a wet sanding it with some 280 grit, made a HUGE difference! but then it started raining and I didn't want to get wet. AGAIN.

It'll get more than a flatting back! I'm thinking, nitromors watered down and put in a pressure washer detergent bottle...?

I was going to say I'll help with the spraying but if it's being vinyled then fair play!
Looking forward to seeing this mate, give me a shout if and when you want a hand

haha yeah, something 130 odd dB at 65mph... shouting, ears ringing, ear plugs, tinnitus, permanent ear damage, awesomness, being heard coming from miles away, waking up the neighbours, announcing your arrival on the limiter at the roundabout down the road...
all things synonymous with that exhaust
