Jethro's TD estate

[Jethro]

Hello everybody


I'm Matthias from Belgium and this is my daily ride.
I'll put up an introducing topic for myself later on.

It's a '99 306 xt turbo-diesel estate with aprox 250.000KM on it.
Also has a sunroof and aircon (that doesn't work yet) and it's an absolute joy to drive around in.


Bought it like this half a year ago and began to do some changes






Replaced the dented wing and testfitted a friends wheels



Out camping



Then fitted my Schmidt Modern lines I had lying around from my other car (Pug 309, in rebuild for the moment)






At a French car meet





And this is how she sits for the moment, waiting for a rear beam change to get her fully low








Small list of changes so far:
*Weitec coilovers
*Vmax rear dampers
*"Fixed" dented wing
*Schmidt Modern lines (15x8, 195/45 tyres, offset 10 in front, 0 in the rear)
*Black masked Depo headlights
*Stickerbombed rear windows and interior bits
*Sony Xplod radio and new speakers all round
*...


Changes to come:
*Other rear beam for some sweet lowzz
*Fix some small things like the aircon and a new exhaust
*Maybe fit some plasma dials and a boost guage
*In the near future maybe fidling around a bit with the pump to get some extra hp


That'll be all (for now!)

that height looks spot on with those wheels.

nice

[Curt]

Awesome!

[Grant]

I don't mean to alarm you, but, your steering wheel is in the wrong place :p


Looking good mate. Wheels really suit it

[WiNgNuTz]

*fix small things like the air con*



I wouldn't bother mate, it's a widely known fact that 306 air con never works anyway!

Looks nice though, liking what you've done with it, see you've got some good plans too. Look forward to seeing this progress.

Do you know if any 306's in Belgium came with heated seats or cruse control?

[Dum-Dum]

I really like the colour and where this is going. Belgian plates are so cool in the red and white colour.

And thanks! The wheels suit my other car pretty nice as well, it's a really sweet set of wheels Gonna refirb them someday

Really? I'm going to have a look at it anyway, would be sweet if I got it working one way or another

Glad you like it Gonna try and keep this thread up to date!

Actually I don't have u clue mate, sorry

Thanks! I'm a big fan of the colour too, especially when it had a wash
And I'm not a big fan of our license plates, like UK ones though. Wanne trade?

This is awsome

Need to get that wing sorted! apart from that though looks really smart

[DazzaHDI]

Rat look?

[Pugmarshall]

I've seen this on facebook (pug way Belgium) looks good!

Thanks! I try to go a bit euro-nu-rat-something, haha :p
And the wing: atm I like it this way, it's better than the dented one. Maybe I'll sort it out one day, the first thing on the list is some moar lows

I've seen this on facebook (pug way Belgium) looks good!

I run that page with a couple of friends, so sometimes I sneak a pic of mine on it, haha

[Jethro]

I think it's about time that I update this thread, since much has happened to the estate lately

First, some older pics





Then I bought a badgeless hood and grille (and another estate for bits & pieces)

---

Since the car was in 3 different colors at that time, I decided to put it completely in 'primer-grey' with some spray cans (also fixed some dents) So I could roll some paint over it later on






Drove around like that for some time, also went to the Peugeot museum in Sochaux

---

Fixed some small stuff, got some wind deflectors and went on a roadtrip to Croatia (drove around 4000km in a week)

[Adam-m-h]

I like it in the primer and the wing mirrors are good too will be interesting to see how it goes

[Jethro]

After that I decided it was time to put a color on her, since the primer was a pain in the ass to keep clean. Also send the Schmidt's to get refurbished while I was on holiday








Then there was a 'French car only' meet (Frenchworxx)

---

Sourced a good rear beam after a looooong search, thanks to a friend. Also rolled the arches

[HDi--Power]

You could have fixed the dents before painting

[Jethro]

As you can see in some pictures, I need to give her another layer of paint and fix some minor things. But overal I'm pretty happy with how she looks now

[Adam-m-h]

I like the wheels set the car off nicely

[Jethro]

You could have fixed the dents before painting

I did

Thanks!

[Piggy]

Looking ok...get some black gel on those rub strips and I rekon it would look 10x better!!!

[HDi--Power]

You could have fixed the dents before painting

I did

May I recommend:

[Jethro]

I allready have a set of those, haha but I must say I didn't do a perfect fix on the dents (was my first time working with filler) but the biggest ones are gone.

The black strips will be refurbished after she gets her next layer of paint. Will look a lot better indeed

[Orta]

Loving the rat look of the earlier pics best!!

[Jethro]

---

Wintermode + MOT

---

And how she sits now




Next up is sanding her down and put on another layer of paint

[7057sam]

Wow just seen this,bloody epic build so far mate

[Poodle]

That looks pretty good considering it's rollered on, fair play! Quite like the finish as it is tbh, suits the look of the car.

[Spoonaltap]

Primer grey for the win, I ran my astra in primer for a year. Quite miss it to be honest. Car looks good in matt blue blue too, I like ratty rides.
