So after weeks. no months of searching for a 5 door 306 xud for the other half this little beaut popped up on ebay. i know its not a looker but i thought id get a pic up and ask if anyone has had any luck bringing up dull paint like this. i was thinking a good machine polish with g3 and she will be 'right. what do you guys think??
This one

Was a sack of shit. Although the got had polished it already when we arrived and it already has a bosch. I almost bought it for spares!!
It has to be an xud yes. She is fussy. The earlier ph1 prefrable. We have 5/600 for the right one. Obviously im able to do any work it needs.
Tom my estate onle had a small hole welded up and sealed job done. Although I am thinking about buying a hdi for my other engine to go in.
