This is my first petrol 306...

I have had 3xHDI's and 3x1.9td's so I know the 306 pretty well, I have done most jobs from Matrix to clutches!

Anyway...

This is a weekend toy, so it will be well looked after and garaged!

Formally V710 EBY (just going through a plate change)

Stacks of history, I purchased the car of redworminator, I believe that it was a known car on the forum before that too.

To start with its getting a new clutch with a richw flywheel and a front suspension overhaul. Pics to follow

Btw I'm waiting for the front number plate to be delivered! (I don't drive around without one!)

I was sold the car with "Ash'a hybrid anti roll bar in the rear. "

http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=156601

Looking at the rear beam is appears to have the stock bars fitted? As the Hybrid bars are silver?

On checking the front arb - It looks like the original one as its black and the coating is coming off?
