Hi All,

I've been reading the forums for a little while and they're full of useful information so really pleased to have joined up.

I've embarked on a bit of a project with a 205 CTi and have just bought a 306 GTI 6 as a doner car, I'm guessing the car is probably known to the forum as it's got some stickers in the windows but I couldn't find it on a search.

It's V252 FSW, according to the previous owner it's had quite a bit of work done to it but he wasn't completely sure what!

Thanks
Trev

i forget the exact circumstances but the milk float gti6 was a V plate one, guessing it is this as it rings a bell. it was written off in 2005/2006 i think. 'roland rat' was driving it over a humpback bridge when a milk float had stopped on the other side (not visible to him when driving)

he hit it fairly hard, folding the front of the gti6 in but as far as i know it was repaired pretty well. i do remember him saying they actually left part of the metal fragements of the milkfloat trapped in the front of the gti6 because they were too hard to remove but i personally didn't see photos of it so not sure. i nearly bought it, didn't look too bad. bit of rust under the rear which made me think it'd had a shunt at the back at some point but i was only buying it for the engine and scrapping the rest

there's also another blaze gti6 funnily enough knocking around which people refer to as the 'milk float gti6' but this one simply had a side impact and the lad who owned it worked on a dairy farm. he repaired it using a metal plate welding it into the side section (off the flat bed from the back of a milk float). not an ideal fix but hey it worked by the looks of it
