So it started out life as an XSi, owned by various people including Miles and his Dad as it turns out. X-sport racing put a cage in it (I think based on a custom cages F2 one, but it is a bit different), it was made into a track car and used. I then bought it as a shell with the side windows, doors and front wings but otherwise completely bare from Blandy on the 6 forum last October.

At the time I had a shed track car, a T reg P3 blaze 6 that I had managed to buy a few bits for and sold others to have a car that basically has cost me £520 on the road.

The shell was toast though (rust in the chassis rails and bulkhead). So November saw us (Meirion, Anton and me) kill that and re-shell it into the XSi. Quite a large number of hours later I managed to get it MOT'd in about April and it has been my daily driver ever since. Although I tried to concentrate on weight loss it is still running the standard heater box and motor, most of the dash, standard battery and still has a 6 speed box. It weighed in at 995kg wet with a quarter tank of fuel (without me) on the corner weighting scales in work so isn't so bad. More to come out yet, including the awful roof!

Its not the most modified of 306s. Has standard GTi6 running gear, Peugeot Sport Magnex with decat, KW v2 front with softer springs and adj top mounts, 21m rear bars + hybrid arb + koni yellows, C5 alloys (mostly round) with AD08Rs for track and road, standard brakes (DS2500), no abs with bias valve and hydro, terrible FG bonnet, lexan windows and obviously a very stripped interior. Its pretty rough around the edges but it goes ok and the engine has a nice little valve tap going on. I have two spare engines and a 5 speed box that will go in one day. It is primarily a fast B road car and then the odd track bit now and then. Current spend has been £1520 not inc tax, MOT, insurance, but including everything else (and the blaze car it came from).

On going will just see me tidying it up when I have the time and moving weight about a bit to get it more rear biased (currently 65:35). And I need to find 2x more C5 wheels, welded front subframe, make the cabin cooler, stop the rain coming in, learn how to drive etc etc
