Hi all,
After having my 306 HDI Dturbo from new, owning it for 18 years and covering over 347k miles in it I fancy a change.
I've found a used Dstyle plus DS3 in white with a black roof (they seem very common in this combination), it's got the 1.6 HDI 90bhp engine and has 79k mile under its belt.
Unfortunately it looks like the car must have had some front end damage at some point in its life as the front bumper isn't lined up correctly and the N/S/F wing has rust bubbling on the arch. I'm thinking I could get a replacement wing from a breaker and try and make the front bumper fit a little better.
I think there might be some bushes that need replacing to as it knocks a little as you go over bumps. Could be bushes or drop links I'm thinking.
I'll be getting the car on Saturday and hopefully find and fit the wing then or I'll have to grab a couple of cans of paint to tidy up that rust so the car looks a little more presentable.
Even though my 306 had done so many miles it's still handles very well as I've kept on top of suspension work, replacing bushes and dampers when needed and I'd like to make sure my replacement car is the same.
I'll most likely start a project thread on here to keep track of the work I've done.
