Well, i finally picked up my '6 this morning, and after an extended drive home Wink, i got it home and gave it some TLC.
Overall i am impressed, its got a few issues that need sorting, but they are only small things, mainly the front bumper needs tidying up.

But as they say, a picture tells 1000 words.

Before i touched it......





So, gave it a wash, wheels first, bit of bilberry on those....



Grotty engine bay



Greenery inside the boot shut



Bilberry again, there's not much you can't use that stuff for!



En vouloir





Engine cleaned off and dressed, still not amazing, but better



And after a clay all over and a coat of poorboys polish, still needs waxing and sealing









And its only modification, a sexy tow bar...........



She's not a bad old girl, to be fair, i'm off to clean inside now.
Comments and tips, good and bad welcome.

My old man's got a white Sierra Cossie running 400bhp and 400ft/lbs. It certainly goes well. His is the Sapphire so 4x4, same as yours started out. Wink

Hi Mate,

Good on you. I have really enjoyed my 306 GTI 6 since owning it the last 4 months (I also love my Lotus Excel but they are chalk and cheese). The 306 GTI is so easy to drive fast and is very predictable - it reminds me of driving a go-kart. Here is some footage of me tussling on cool track in Brissy Australia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SolAZKXpRk4

I can't seem to beat the worked VW Polos for topend in my stocker but round corners I am almost as fast.

Cheers.
