I heard you was game for the RS day. Rob read me your text haha. Sounds like you'll be fighting your way through a gaggle of French clutter though. 4 or 5 306's up to now I think  :driver:

Yeah he mentioned all of them, should be a good day and laugh.

I might have the interior off you mate. Let me know where you're based as I'm not able to travel more than a few hours from London.

I'd be after the front and rear seats, door cards if they are going and possible roof lining if its the darker, black one.

Just replied to your pm , everything you said above will be for sale including the steering wheel and airbag.

Yeah I'll pop up but I don't think I'll be able to afford to run in it.

Read the title? Doubt this is a show car mate! Although I too would love to see it next to the taped up, polished to within an inch of the paintwork's life, far to flawless show cars at a big show.

Power and 4wd, what more do you need?

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

To be honest I'm having it painted when I have the rear arches pulled and it will be a high standard of paint but I ain't one that is into cleaning every inch anymore it is what it is and it's a tool, not a car just a tool for me to enjoy.

Thanks for the leather interior man, going to scrub it up and make it look factory fresh over the next few weeks! Out of interest, you're massive front arches got me thinking about a carbon fibre replacement from Seibon Carbon;

http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/products.html?make=198 (second row down)

Just think if you're going for stripped interior, to keep the balance a set of carbon arches and bonnet should loose a few kilos off the front end as well and tame understeer?
