Nearly finished messing around with the exterior, just need some final opinions on this.I have a fiberglass smoothed bonnet and grille on the way, will save a couple of kilo's, looking at skinning the bonnet, yellow grille, skinned phase 3 spoiler and yellow smoothed phase 3 boot What i'm aiming for...   Thoughts? ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Looks amazing fella!  Think you really need the black strip on the door pillar between the front and rear windows though so that the black theme is continual...looks 50/50 at mo with the big yellow bit  ________________________________________ Pugzy...aka MikeEx-Platinum silver 306 GTi6 owner...now an Ex-Scarlet Red 406 3ltr V6 Coupe owner too Now driving a China Blue 106 1.5 Diesel..."The Money-Saving and Debt-Busting Machine"  |

Strangely productive day today, completely out of the blue. Hadn't planned on even looking at the car and I ended up buying more painting stuff  Figured until I can get a FG bonnet sorted and a phase 3 boot i'll just paint what i've got  One yellow bootlid, albeit a half arsed job. Took f*cking ages to get the brush strokes out and flatten it, ended up using thinners and a scraper and taking it down to the sigma paint underneath  Result:  Started flattening down the paint today too, it's going to take a facking eternity Should look good when done though.    You can see on this one, the rear quarter has been sanded/polished to a degree whereas the wing and door are untouched  And how she's coming on now  New wind deflectors on the way after the driver's side one made a bid for freedom on the M6 at about 80mph. Oops. So i'll have a spare passenger side one next week in case anyone needs one? ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

it looks really nice. i love the yellow colour. although i do think it could be improved by airbrushing a fake transformer all over it. ________________________________________ Never underestimate the power of De-Nile.Friday afternoon car, built in France....  306gti6.com Stickers available, pm me for details. or email MjStones83@hotmail.com Sticker Thread with pics |

I think i'll put the airbrushing off until I rebuild the rear beam, just took the wheels off to underseal the arches and noticed a lot of side to side play in the n/s trailing arm. Hope the shafts are ok, can't afford new ones ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Oh dear, more bad news. The beam's fooked, new trailing arm shafts needed and a new rebuild kit, looking at £250 or so for everything. And unemployment + £250 is never going to happen.Just about to declare the car SORN Tax is due end of the month, as is MOT, and not a chance in hell i'm getting the money together to make it pass by then.f*cking French cars. I'm going to draw a "funds raised" chart when i get time and add to it as i sell my belongings ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

You are mental - but in a good way! Fair play for being different and doing it all yourself. I can see a bit of touring car in this with those wheels and the bright primary colour. ________________________________________ |

Cheers dan, mental's a compliment where i'm from *sigh* more expense then. Just shelled out on a replacement beam. It's been refurbished previously and lowered 40mm, ideal for my new front struts. Also has calipers with working bleed nipples, something i've NEVER had on this car  So will be good to finally bleed the brakes properly instead of pikeying it from the union So new suspension + new brakes = finaly being able to go for a proper drive for the first time in ages, that's the majority of the niggles that have been f*cking me off and have only ever driven the car at about 80% due to the brakes having a slight spongeyness. Beam should be arriving Wednesday  Also going to remove the ABS to further my airbox plans. Moved the battery already so just need to shift this bugger out the way. Couldn't do it before as I couldn't bleed the brakes so with the new rears I can crack on with that, watch this space... ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

Just buy some new bleed nipples so you don't have to worry about it again, it'll cost you about 50p.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
