after 3 loyal years of hard abuse my faithful runaround puegeot 306 d turbo diedhad alot of memories in this car n gonna be emotional to scrap it!
its been rallyin everywhere! stuck in forests, stuck in fields, ripped a wheel odd in the snow, hit a wall, and just general abuse, but it took it. paid 300quid 3years ago and its done me proud
r.i.p pug
which left me with a problem.... astras in bits, pugs dead, ive got no car! :sad:
so spoke to me mate and hes gettin rid of a van.. things are lookin up!
no tax or mot, but runs sweet as a nut and runs on fresh air! and all he wants for it is how every much i can cash the pug in at the scrappy! fair deal i say! its no oil paintin but its gonna do the job for free!
its a 1994 L-reg mk3 astra van 1.7 diesel
oh and its done 176k lol
bodys a bit 'neglected' lets say, but engine is sweet as a nut!
see somethings its gonna need for the mot, got a crack in the screen, which i rekon will fail, but was planning to get a new one for my turbo so mite see if he can put my old screen in the van, another prob solved,
and is gonna need some plates in the sill, though the underneith of the van is pretty solid, but weldings not a problem, so another prob solved,
my mate pointed out one of the rear stuts is brokenwhich will have to be sorted
heres how it should be
bolted to the bottom
and hers the other side, snapped
and the handbrake seems a bit wank, but gonna see if i can get that adjusting the cable
but part from that everythng seems ok
get it a bit more respectable gonna stick me wheels that i had off my nova on it as ive got them layin round doing nothing
and i want to deck it rite down low to the floor, not too bothered bout practicality, gonna have to see if you can get 60mm van springs!
so here it is, project run around van
prob wont be major project progress on the van, but anything i do do will go in here![]()
