so bought this around 6 months ago , gave up on my project 406 after the sills gave in to the terminal rust and broke it for spares ,
picked it up for 600 quid with a slight misfire all the brakes bound and the rear shockies totally gone . the car was clean but the paint was really dull as in the past 5 hears its only covered about 12 thousand miles ! car as just sitting there wasting away ! got it home and gave it a good t cut replaced all the brakes . got two new rear shocks and picked up a set of 30mm lkoni lowering springs . misfire was the dreaded over tightened spark plugs giving the head a nice crack . got a secondhand head got it skimmed and reworked it with slight porting on exhaust side , exhaust gave up after sitting off the road for so long so fitted a stainless cat back from cobra sport with a 3" outward rolled tip . de restricted air box , changed rear lights for the smoked style ones ,
all in all a great car for sub 1k with 62k on the clock
plan to get that horrible rear plate surround off , got a 4-1 and Decat ordered from Ashley exhausts ,get a gsi bumper onto the front , got a spoiler off of a Turbo and a set of eyelids getting painted then its gsi wheels and possibly cams in the summer ! also the rear badges are half removed by the previous owner and have baked into the paint so that + the rear bumper being nudged and scraped will just result in that getting painted along with gsi bumper
thanks for looking
