I can't think of anything near the exhaust at the front of the car that you might have disturbed & affected the ABS. I think the rear wheel speed sensor wiring runs adjacent to the brake lines on the ...

Post: RE: 306 XS Value

I think prices of 306's have gone up because the price of all secondhand cars have gone up. I'm not sure they are collectable yet, but there might be someone out there who has their eye on one. I've s...

Yea, I think I'm reasonably lucky with the body condition of this 306. They seem to be quite variable. I guess where they've been kept (a lot more salt on the roads up where you are) is a factor. The ...

Wow, that fabrication table looks mint. Definitely worth nabbing! Good to see you're making progress. Which seam sealer are you using? Bilt Hamber stuff?
