Project refresh - Silver Hdi Hatchback
#1
So, long story short, attempted to post this, this morning, phone took a wobbler, messed it up. I'll reconstruct the first post, since the photos have attached themselves anyway Smile.



Hey guys, I posted my thread in the newbies section, introducing myself and my car, if you read it, you will know I purchased this Hdi off a friend after being stuck with a 2007 focus neesing an enginw after hitting a flood -_- I want to get the car as clean as possible and spend as little as possible!

The old Focus and the 306 Smile

One of the first things I had to do was dye the spoiler, it was rightly grey!
   
   
   

Next on my plan of attack was to tidy up the wiring and re route the microphone on the install my friend had done back when he owned the car (You take no pride in your work, you tit) [emoji23]

   

So this is my 306 Hdi as it sits Smile I have the option of buying the alloys off the previous owner or sticking tyres on the wheel trims, either way i'll need to get two tyres, and I have no intentions on spending money where I don't have to on this car [emoji23]

   

From the start of owning this car, it was commented on how hard the clutch pedal was, this was proven by the squeeling after the first week, and the pedal failing to return fully, so, with intention on driving it to my friends who id also my mechanic, I reversed out of my drive, and the clutch cable popped off the pedal, with the clutch fully out, I was in the hedge before I realised [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] With no damage done, my plan was to start it in first and bounce it through the gears with no clutch, this was going well until I got daring about halfway on my journey and went for fourth. This didn't work. The gear linkage popped off. So, there I was, stranded, no clutch or gear linkage, I probably could have got the linkage back on with no problems, but I rang my friend and got towed, it was less stressful.

So, 3 piece luk clutch going in tonight and a gearbox seal Smile get her back tomorrow [emoji2]

Attatched are a few photos of the touch ups so far, the primer hasn't been sanded down yet [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] so don't think i'm doing half a job! Haha
