First of all, I know this is a 306 forum. Unfortunately I no longer own one, but would like a project thread. So, here it is...
Some may remember this from a while ago...
I sold it just over a year ago, then realised I'd made a massive mistake.
My mate phoned me the other day to say that the bloke that bought it (his partners brother) was selling and did I want it. Well I offered him a lot less than his asking price and picked it up that weekend.
So it's back:

Unfortunately, he has left it with a few scars and a few "chav" additions.
Tried to remove stickers with a scourer?

So I'm going to get the W&D on it and then the mop, hopefully this week.
Then the rest:

2013-06-06 14.18.26 by TBK Shinobi, on Flickr
Bloody heavy shitty 6x9's:

Why? Now I need a new pressed plate...
2013-06-06 14.18.48 by TBK Shinobi, on Flickr
Another new scratch...

EVERY wire in the car was twisted together... Including the remote cable for the amp...

Speaking of which, look how thin the wire he used for, erm, part of it was:

If a wood screw through the boot floor isn't enough, what do you do? Wedge a spoon underneath it, of course!

2013-06-06 17.34.48 by TBK Shinobi, on Flickr
This stopped me wondering why the "sub" kept cutting in and out all the pissing time.
So, back in with my stuff... again. Luckily it was all cut to fit.

Then I thought I'd "fix" the parcle shelf holderupper. So a shaved bolt head and 2 nuts later:
2013-06-06 17.01.39 by TBK Shinobi, on Flickr
2013-06-06 17.01.46 by TBK Shinobi, on Flickr
Then, brilliantly, I found it under the boot carpet with the clip that came off the back...

I also changed the window regulator too, as it still didn't work since the last time I owned it
Then I had a delivery...

Then re-fitted my facelift rears:

...and that's where I'm up to.
Fozzy has very kindly sourced me a replacement parcel shelf, so that solves that. Next I need to mop the car and do some paint correction, then sort the engine bay out. As it did look like this:
It now looks a bit neglected. Then, full service, probably cambelt and waterpump and possibly a FMIC and KO3S...
Thanks for looking.
