I saw this at the weekend, didn't realise you'd been this busy! I took one look at it and really thought "oh dear" but Carl showed me what was lurking under the bonnet, that coupled with the work you've done underneath and the fact Carl says it is seriously fast, I am thoroughly impressed  I withdraw my comments made to Carl at the time  ________________________________________ Black 306 GTi-6 175.8BHP SCA Norwich ProjectTopaz Blue 205 CTI  |

Wow - no offence but I think this is genuinely the first car I've ever heard of that looks better from underneath than it does from on top.     *insert 'beauty is under the skin' 'don't judge a book by its cover' type reference here* ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Very good  I don't know why but im getting great satisfaction seeing such a good engine transferred into something more worthy  Once you have finished some sort of costing/timescale breakdown would be good Really should refurb/underseal the Rallye at some point but guess you need somewhere dry and plenty of time  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Undersealing is well easy, but messy, as long as you leave it dry for a day or two then your fine, its stripping and cleaning that takes the time.  ________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

Looks like a great project- and although I always loved the 'pink' 306 (although not the colour) this loks like a fantastic performance package- will be nice to have owned an awesome aesthetic 306 as well as a track slag  Good luck! ________________________________________ "Rules are for the interpretation of wisemen and the obedience of fools" (Colin Chapman, Lotus founder) |

Good rim choice but should have got them elsewhere from Halfords, could have saved a fair bit i reckon  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Just got my roll cage ordered from custom cages (www.customcages.co.uk) so as soon as that turns up it will be welded into the car and then I can get the interior painted and finished off.________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

It will then be off to the bodyshop to get all damage repaired and painted. ________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

Carl Chambers is currently fitting my Roll Cage which I have purchased from custom cages, It looks like my Dashboard will have to be cut to allow it to fit properly. No doubt Carl will do a excellent job.________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |

All the cages I've seen have been properly welded together and painted etc., that just looks like a pile of central heating pipe...what am I missing?  ________________________________________ Steve |

It is purchased from a Company called Custom Cages which they make custom cages for Rally and BTCC cars. This is a Clubkit which i purchased that Carl Chambers is fitting to how I want installing. It also needs welding into the car thats what your missing LOL________________________________________ www.pugsport-racing.co.uk |
