Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

Got the week off this week with nothing to do so thought i would spend a week doing all them annoying shitty jobs that you never get round to. First was to replace my wing which i dented at pugfest. Thats already turned into a big job! When under the car, i realised i had cracked the sill trim when i hit the line pin so that had to come off to be repaired so it doesnt let water in. Once i got the wing and trim off, i found a few bits of surface rust so thought now would be a better time than ever to get rid of it.
Half hour of attacking it with a wire brush and wire attachment for the drill and 2 coats of underseal later and im left with.

   

Whilst under the car, i decided to check out the rear subframe mountings. The rust here is what killed my old car and i know this is a common place for the 306 to rust so i was quite nervous about doing so!

   

Looks bad but thankfully its just surface rust. There is loads of solid metal underneath.

   

Made a start on cleaning it all up but the drill ran out of battery so calling it a day there. Tomorrow ill continue attacking that, clean up the wheel arches on that side and underseal the whole lot then Thursday, get the car turned around and make a start on the other side!
