Hahah thanks man!
Oh I will dont worry, ive decided theres always going to be at least one 306 in my life haha, hopefully the Rallye Smile although i do enjoy the laziness of being able to overtake in 5th on 60 roads in the HDI too
Looks much better in real life than in the photos, the photos just dont do the car justice :/

Slow progress due to finances (and having another 306 to spend money on fixing etc) but a new part has been delivered by the postman today

[attachment=17728]

Going back to the standard airbox setup, removing the rubbish induction kit on it at the moment, as pictured below.

1st photo sorted out, I always take the photos on my phone landscape which is why the photos are never straight when I upload them to here, the problem is I cannot tell how the photos will turn out until I upload them into a post, then I can amend them. After about 4 go's the 2nd photo of the engine bay isnt playing ball when trying to rotate the photo to line up straight on the thread, everytime I rotate it it just stays the same way up on the thread, I give up with that one, not the main photo of the psot anyway.

Ah yes, haha, I get it now

Everyone lives in Australia now [Image: lol.gif] 

It seems to have sorted itself out aha
Cheers! Cannot wait for it to be on the road! It will take quite a chunk out of my wallet compared to the HDI, although that's only doing low 40's mpg at the moment, but it will be worth it Smile

Another update

Conti timing belt kit has arrived which is a bonus as I only paid for the Dayco which was £33 cheaper!
Water pump and cambelt now waiting to be fitted soon
Painted the front and rear callipers with hammerite smooth red, a good sanding down and the calipers look great, a big improvement to the look of the car (last owner painted them in gold but faded quite badly) 
Also repainted front tow hook and went over some stone chips etc with the hammerite red and looks much better now.

But yes unfortunately so! Looks a lot better in real life though I promise Smile And its not upside down lol 

Cheers Matt! Need to keep her clean and away from muck Smile  Only cost £11 when I bought it for the HDI originally, but have used it for the Rallye since I got it last April!
