Possibly. Mechanically great but the Aussie sun is not kind to french paint. Completely gone on the roof and most panels plus some damage to a rear quarter panel and quite high miles. But it did have a freshly rebuilt engine with big cams, lightened flywheel, Quaife LSD and chassis mods. I am sad to see the 306 go as it was a blast to drive a proper old school GTi for a while. Was practical too.
Farewell red rat!

Remember that 505 GTi "barn find" well, finally had the money chat with the owner. He's decided he can't sell for less than $7800(AUD) eek! I want it but gee, that is hard to justify when I factor in flights to pick up the car and all the necessary repairs after 20 years dormant. It's probably only worth 7k to two or three people Nationwide so maybe I'll wait a bit until I can fund the project properly. Sadly I've already sold my Gti6 to fund it... Still need 5k!
