Hello everyone thought I should put up a project thread
I have now got a 306hdi estate
The car is really good condition apart from both skirts broken and the passanger is scratched
The car has done 59000
This is the first 396 I have ever seen that still has an under tray 
Plans
Passanger wing
Drivers fog light
Skirts both side - in the post need paintings
De grease the bay
Paint a few dash trims
Might go cyclones
Also stage 1 map
Da cat
Also 40mm lowering springs
Few pics

You'd think that, but mine is only on 58k, and it's a bit of a heap!
Get some pics up when you can pal, sounds like you've got some decent plans lined up, be good to see how you do with it.

It is a pretty clean car really the only think that let's it down is the side skirts and the passanger wing

Good stuff! You sticking with the Lasers, or have you some other wheels in mind? Not sure they work very well in Black tbh, maybe be better in a dark grey colour, or white might look pretty good.

Well spotted that man, though mirrors are easy enough to spray yourself if you are that way inclined? Did mine in the boot of my estate!

I will stick with them for a min as they have good tyres ATM When it drys up a bit will get some better wheels for the summer
I had my seat Leon for sale for 800 in the and did a straight swap and he gave me a few spare bits

I love the humble 306 estate, I call mine 'the herse' but it goes like shit of a shovel with a few subtle mods and I can get the kids and all their crap in the crap in the back! Everyone's a winner!
