Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, and I've just bought my first 306 from musclebeach.
Spotted it advertised a couple of weeks ago and just had to have it! I understand it's been in the club for a fair few years now, so I'll keep it that way.
Anyway, been busy over the weekend giving it a clean and seeing to some niggles/issues. Firstly, I fitted a second hand Alpine IDA-X100, which is a bit chavvy, but it has iPod connectivity so I'm happy with it! Next problem was the boot, it just wouldn't close, let alone lock! Had the lock/handle out to see what was wrong and simply needed to snap a bit of plastic off; so that's working again.

Had chance to take a few photos today, but it's very miserable out, so they're nothing special!

Seems like a very knowledgeable place from what I've seen so far! Looking forward to getting stuck into the car. Must have been the clearest one I've seen, dead happy with it!

Cheers! Best one I saw when looking. They seen to be quite rare too?

Black and Yellow 'Lockwood' dials. Not to my taste, but I'm struggling to find original ones.

can see why muscle beach was gutted to sell it so cheap... collectors retro car.... look after it it will only get more sought after in that condition. Welcome and watch out for ratty, he will buy your motor in a flash for no cash....

Definitely! This one's a keeper for sure. The cars I've owned in the past (bar my last MX5 which was a bit of a nail) have all been well looked after and this one will be no different!

I do miss my 106, but the 306 just feels more... meaty! Awesome machine.
