Rd's bagged HDI - new boot build

[rd070707]

yeah I dont think that colour would suit a phase one as well with the black trim. Would be thinking more along the lines of a dark purple or blue

[rd070707]

New shorter front struts in. Tucks rim, lays frame. Im a happy man now

Got this back on the road after having a few issues with VOSA, was stopped for wide wheels and lows but after they were happy with that they decided to do a full inspection and removed the MOT for TRE play and wipers   

So all sorted now and back on the road. 

Bucket seats going in this week and colour change definately on the menu in the next few months with ph1 conversion

Choosing a colour is so difficult 

[Leemus]

colour change is the hardest thing to do! just try and do something that hasn't been done a lot and if you can what hasn't been done to a 306. ph1 would be cool! tempting to change the estate into a ph1 but think i might get a pickup instead.

[rd070707]

Yeah Lee I want something unique but not overly lairy or anything

Ph1 all the way

So I have been doing quite a bit of work on this lately to try and finish it off and tidy up any bits and pieces I have been meaning to do for a while.

I have wired in my wireless fob for the air ride which is cool as it has a fairly good range so would be easy to scare someone if they are walking by 

Finally got round to fitting my leather bucket seats which I must say are a great improvement



The headliner has been retrimmed in black suede as well as the door cards to match



Rear seats stripped out for boot build but is made in 2 pieces so seats can easily be put back in when needed.







Ive got some tinted perspex also to fit over the compressor along with a nice led light

Centre console and sun visors have been sent away for flocking but have not returned yet so no pictures

Now on the hunt for some winter wheels as running a raw polished wheel in the winter would not be fun 

Any comments/ suggestions welcome, still trying to decide on a colour for the car

[rd070707]

okay so cars getting wrapped soon. Thinking yellow/bluey green/ dolphin grey/ purple. Any opinions?

[Piggy]

Yellow 8D carbon

Nice boot... Always think the inside of the hatch look ugly though... Would be nice to see something done with that

[Eeyore]

where did you buy the suede material?

[Dum-Dum]

Boot looks good man, really love how clean it looks. Not sure on the seats, just not quite 'right' in my head.

haha yellow is a contender but definately no carbon unless its real.

It does feel much nicer to sit in now with some nicer material on the door cards etc

I have flocked purple centre console and visors on the way this week cant wait!

where did you buy the suede material?

Its just from dunelm mill biddy, pretty good quality and price

Thanks! I will have to get some pics now its actually finished with perspex over compressor etc. Considering a small cage or bar polished up

I agree on the seats tbh I got them donkies ago and it was either fit them or bin them. But now I have the frames made I could bolt nearly anything to them so really hoping to get some recaros or proper buckets soon

[Matt]

Go purple! I've always wanted a purple 306 and would be awesome to see someone do it! Your car is pretty much how I'd have mine given the cash!

tempted but not sure how it will look phase one with the black trim. Maybe some photoshops in order 

   

[Matt]

Smooth the trim!! That flocking looks the tits!!

[Piggy]

Yeah been looking at turquiose/teal colours also but difficult to get in a wrap, but still considering paint too

[rd070707]

[Josh_Quant]

thanks bud, considered buying them back from darren for winter but dunno. would almost want 15" ones now to make it sit lower.

Really struggling to decide on a colour, thinking dolphin grey or yellow? nice contrast to phase one trim

   

[Poodle]

Always thought a ph3 would look good in a porcelain cream type colour, if you know what i mean. Sort of half way between white and beige.

[rd070707]

Got a pic poodle?

Im still debating it but im picking up a full phase one front end and side strips tomorrow and im thinking sunflower yellow with black phase one strips

[Nathan1305]

This colour would look pretty special
