The reshell has started

Good to see you on Saturday man will look good once it's all finished

Yeah same dude was good to see you chap, and fingers crossed it'll be mot'd by the end of the day

Nice to see you at fcs :-)

Interested to see what you do with this one, your cars usually end up with some nice bits haha

Yeah same dude! Haha hopefully chap got a few things up my sleeve that I want todo but in no rush as I want to take my time on the one

give you week till you change your mind what you are doing to it.... ha

Haha

get your finger out sam! i bet your not going as hard core as me! have a look at my thread!

Probably not dude haha going to take it slow on this one haha I'll have a look in abit chap

To be fair, I think Proctas is the fastest reshell ever.

But it is half the size of a 306 and everything was perfect thats being swapped over!!


And its a rover.

Yeah true that dude

severe lack of photos sam!!

Haha will put some up once I get it home dude

pictures as promised:

the new shell

old and new together







and all back in the new shell!!!!



next on the list is disks and pads all round ready for the mot on Tuesday after that my rear axle will be going on so it wont be so arse end down. then saving for some 16" pro race 1.2 in silver, 4 pots and bilstien b8's and some avo 40mm springs after usc and ready for our nurburg trip that a couple of us around her are talking about

wow....quick turn around...how long did it take in all??

Thats impressive mate...you happy? is the new shell good, it looks it by the few pics

How do you rate the AVO 40mm springs?? I use GTI6 springs due to similar front axle weight, but the front end is too soft so Im looking into other options inc b6/b8 dampers but not sure on springs and dont wana sit low

I'm on 40 mm spacers springs and spa shocks at the moment, but speaking to coling about b8 ( as there 20mm shorter and alot more stiffer ) using a 40 mm 350 lbs spring will lower it around 60mm which is what I want but tbh I haven't driven it yet so I wouldn't no haha

taken roughly 2 days I think, big thanks to Colin and james

sam you call that a reshell??? id say that's just an engine swop
you want to be hard! get the full works pulled out and put back in, that's everything!
electrics and fuel and running gear!

So you using coilover springs on a standard type Bilstein damper?!

nice looking replacement sam! tidy base to make it what you want again!

No using lowering springs dude I'mselling the coilovers, using avo lowering springs and bilstien dampers

Cheers dude, kind of stripping my bits off it and then Colins selling the rest as that's the deal we both agreed on

Glad it went well, looks good bud, i have been following on fb :p

cheers dude

Looks real nice man.

Out of curiosity, is it a darker shade of astor than your other one? I know it's Peugeots favourite thing to do with paint, there's 2 shades of black ffs

Yeah it is chap my other one is quite a bit lighter

get all swopped over id have said get the loom swopped over, but then again, 306s are all the same aren't they, So I will let you off on this for now!

Haha well picking them up tomorrow so hopefully it'll be alot better looking soon and true about the looms haha

Mini update popped into work today to replace disks and pads all round as they barley needed doing! Got a tad confused as on the last mot the front disks were advised, which was seen quite clearly, the thing that confused me was the owner before brett put brand new pads on very very f***** disks :/ anyway I order mtec grooved disks and minter pads all round mot time tomorrow and then pick up all my coilovers, solid mounts etc and on Thursday to fit them all pictures tomorrow!

Good progress mate. Hope youre happy with it after all your hard work.
