Definitely try and get it running and spend as little as possible to do it. Recommission on a budget 👍🏻

[@jimwright5492]

Totally agree with Luke, get her running and see out there who wants it ,few quid for the shop rob

[@stephenboodle4555]

You definitely need too see her running..wash over. New glass.a rare car now..do it proud...

[@timmywatkins1702]

Do it, if any one can get it running cheaply should be u.

[@2strokemxclassics]

Find my comment m8 it will save you getting a key done, just there's 1.4 k comments as I wrote it so I've wrote this on the top comment hoping you will see it👍

[@alanhiggins1093]

Get it running and cleaned up and see what it needs for the mot look forward to seeing more videos on this good luck

[@edainsworth6304]

Yes! It's a classic, underrated hot hatch, gutted I sold mine. One of the most awesome handling front drivers I've ever driven.

[@JMc.D]

I’d happily watch this series. This is kind of thing that I started watching for.

[@joem8213]

It's a really rare car, definitely need to save this from the scrapyard fellas!

[@LiveforTravel]

Although never totally up to date “how many left” shows 14 on the road and 121 on SORN. Is it worth it? Hell yes. With a good clean up, engine running 🤞 and the correct wheels it is absolutely worth it. 💪

[@sammytheseal2307]

Only 14? Bloody hell. Whatever happened to them all? Who scraps them!!

[@LiveforTravel]

Sammy TheSeal I know 😊at least there are 121 that are SORN and a few of those might be on the road one day

[@chriss9360]

I would definitely watch this 1 being sorted out watching each stage done 👍

[@kennethtoshney9048]

I’d love to see it restored, it deserves it after having been abandoned

[@TW-abc]

Got to go for it Rob, even if it's just to get it running and tidied up.

[@alferret1969]

Love the 306, had an "R" reg myself about 10 years ago. Never rot, everything is galvanised IIRC.

[@mudskipper0075]

Never seen any really rusty 306/205’s to be honest seem well sorted in that respect...

[@garethjones8047]

I've still got an R reg dturbo, owned it for 18 years and still use it daily. The corrosion protection is excellent, mine still has not had any welding, but it is a myth that they are galvanised, they are not.

[@tractorface1236]

Would love to see this on the road again! the way things are going and how people scrap them like nothing these sorts of cars will start to get rarer in the next 10 years or so.

[@stevendempster4871]

Yes, would love to see this back on the road.

[@johncoogan5607]

Yeah definitely. quick cheap fix but really becoming a rare car gti6 here we go let's get involved.

[@andypreston1524]

That's worth just having a play around with Rob. I do the same thing, albeit on a much smaller scale, with old Suffolk lawnmowers!! If I can get them going, happy days..... If I can do more than that, so much the better. The old 306 wasn't a half bad little motor. Nice little find !!!

[@farnys_projects6722]

Money to be made, fix it up.. like that mate! Similar thinker myself😀

[@BILLZ62]

take it to the boy that does ur valets film his reaction😂

[@stu82pendous]

I'd go out on a whim here and say this IS exactly the content we need to see Rob ...

[@scotstrowger3885]

Greatest ever GTI according to a recent magazine article.

[@peugeotdudewifey2782]

They werent wrong

[@stephenboodle4555]

Bloody great car...

[@TheAntiChris77]

I would love to see it broght back to running and driving order on a low budget.

[@SA-yb7mt]

I love these cars, they're beautiful. The diesel engines in these were brilliant but the GTI was fantastic. Worth a go to get it started and running.

[@artbyrne7692]

Please please please get it back on the road guys! One of my favorite vehicles of all time! I’m so glad it’s in your hands! I did have two of the D-Turbo models of these back in my hay day!

[@iancampbell3606]

I had one of these when they came out an absolute hoot to drive handled like a dream Please try and get it running

[@samwilde595]

I’d love to see this rebuilt, I had one with the exact number plate except it was an R on the end instead on an X. Random! Absolutely awesome little cars these, the chassis is unreal.

[@trigger381]

I’m definitely interested in watching this car , it was on my wish list many years ago but never realised . It would be nice to see it running again

[@johnmccarthy-jones1250]

What an opportunity to do a series of “Back from the dead” series of videos Please fix it up

[@AdamSNook.]

yeah i really want to see the restore it

[@stuartdavidsonR36]

You have to do this!! I have always wanted one of these, for me definitely a bucket list car. Other people might not agree but this is a proper driver's car. If i was close then I'd want to help you with it.

[@garrytalbot3456]

I had one of these new in ‘97. R366WOO. ABSOLUTELY THE BEST HANDLING HATCH OF ITS DAY. Get it repaired and running right you won’t believe how well it goes. The wheels are wrong but it’s got the optional extra interior and roof. 167bhp and good for not far away from 140mph. Superb little cars.

[@graemew7001]

Don't go spending money on my say so but I'm definitely in the yes camp on this one, I'd far rather have this than the equivelant Ford of the day.

[@andrewmoffatt7046]

You'd rather of had a 306 gti than the escourt gti or ford rs 2000 a French car that's renound for breaking down each to his own of course but most Ford's of that era would of kicked ass I'm a ford fan sorry

[@graemew7001]

@@andrewmoffatt7046 No need to apologise for being a fan of something, if you like it then that's what counts, we all have different tastes. Me, I didn't like any escort after the mark 4 but always liked the style of the Peugeot 306.

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

@@andrewmoffatt7046 we may have electrical issues now and then in the Peugeot but we don't have to weld up every trip and the rs2000 of the day is a 150bhp car there's no way it would beat the 306 for handling and speed. I'm not being rude just not a fan of all these over priced fords

[@weedaviec]

Andrew moffatt Those fwd Fords were not their best effort by any stretch. I think it’s a shame they stuck an RS badge on that one. Anything with a red top Vauxhall would be better, and that’s coming from a Mk2 owner. I’m a big fan of Peugeot Gtis so would love to see this run again.

[@paulhancock]

Such a shame about the door! I’ve got great memories of these so I’d love to see you guys return it to a drivable condition. It’s a rare car now, and for free, come on... Do it!

[@leedavies2886]

Awesome cars, people love these as they are rare now. Someone would snap this up if you tidy it up and get it back on the road! Look forward to videos on this

[@matthewc.419]

Like.me .

[@darrencraig8654]

If the numbers add up definitely worth saving they are quite rare minimum spend

[@HerbmanSmuggler]

Would defo love to see some more on this, used to own a 106gti about 15 years ago so love old pugs. Prob best pound for pound car I’ve owned in all honesty absolute rocket and handled amazing

[@ColossulTitan]

Yes please now this is a hot wee hatchback I would love to own,drove one years ago and I was very impressed how it stuck to the road,always felt planted to the road,loving the content even with current circumstances,keep safe guys

[@explornationuk6908]

Go on Rob what a find love the classics on this channel. And get the work done mate it's well worth it you have a little gold mine there.

[@scotstrowger3885]

Restored it Rob. Show us ever step of the way please. Love these car's!

[@Jaymo-bc5wo]

I'll be following the progress on this one for definite 👌👌

[@marklittler784]

Air pressure inside due to the missing window probably encouraged the door to open.

[@notrut]

Should have cracked the window open ...

[@sruk]

notrut impossible with no keys

[@urbanjentry222]

Likely find had a sticky latch

[@seanregan730]

You have to make it run! You'd be surprised how often people have cars in the garden garage barns etc. The inspiration to save them from the scrap pile is in your hands and by saving this little 306 you'll inspire many more saving from the scrap projects. Great videos guys. I'm no mechanic myself but I admire the way you go about your projects and maybe some amateur mechanics will step up as a result of watching you guys at work all the best Sean

[@cowsarsc]

Timing belt will need done were notorious for snapping before the recommended interval. Really good cars when looked after 167bhp.

[@mk1ned]

Also bottom timing belt pulley will spin as it has a rubber center and they separate. knocking the timing out.

[@blue21269]

Definitely get it back on the road, would be great to see these old cars going again.

[@skodakatie7341]

It would be great to see more content on this Peugeot, it looks to be a fairly solid rust free example, a will it run video would be amazing, with regard to your question of whether we would be interested to see more of this car, it’s a definite yes please from me!!😂.

[@KenEdwardsz]

These were the best hot hatch of its generation. It deserves to be saved

[@robertbishop9283]

Still playing catch up, so happy the community opted to get this repaired. I really enjoy watching you bringing cars back to life 💪💪💪

[@GM-mk3ep]

Yep, Yes, Yup, Yeah - and any other way I can say Yes, to more content on this rare Pug!

[@TheMiltonroad]

Massive following! Love any French hot hatch. Return to stock with oem wheels.

[@lewis72]

9:34 You've got a Maglite there ! Stick an LED upgrade on it (£11) and you'd got a £30 torch ! (Unless it's your one already !)

[@TheAlanSaunders]

I still have a couple of old Maglites, they were superior in their day - twenty years ago! The LED upgrade is pathetic when compared to my favourite 'Led-Lenser' offerings. Aluminium body, click on/off switch, slide the lens housing between spot focus and 'moonlight', near white even illumination. Also, the superior electronics produce maximum life from your batteries; take the 'flat' batteries out of your Maglite and they will produce many hours of full brilliance in an LED-Lenser! There are many other better, but more expensive, torches and head-torches but Maglite has lost their #1 place in the market, possibly due to the extreme cost of manufacturing them in the US or complacency? The best torches (US name 'flash light' = only good for a few seconds) use 'Cree' LEDs; these are a small, yellow squares that produces excellent 'white light' with the correct reflector and lense.

[@silvermane9370]

this needs to be restored. They were iconic in the late 90s. I reckon its worth money bringing it back. See how many are left on the road. This car is highly sought after.

[@laurencesopp7153]

Rob defo get this back to its former glory. 306 was my first motor. Always loved the interior on these and the GTI Will defo have a following 👍

[@kevinjohnson1958]

Would definitely watch a project on this however I would try to get it running bypassing the key/immobilizer first.

[@modelreviews3705]

I'm very interested in this peugeot projects progress 😁👍🏻

[@a1topdog]

Clean up, glass in, get running, maybe a minor service and sell as a project. Do not put alot of money into it. Show us what can be done on a budget.

[@jeromeoc200]

Definitely work on it. A 306 GTi 6 is a brilliant car. When this was new, car magazines raved about it. A modern classic.

[@chrismason6857]

Please do this car! I loved those cars when they came out. A guy in my town modified one to a really high standard and it looked and went amazing. Very cool looking and pretty quick. Would love to see you bring this back to life.

[@richardcheeseman6959]

Yes Rob would love to see this running! I had the diesel version back in it’s day we’re great cars and always wanted a GTI 6 think they were nearly £20k new

[@timblundell3900]

I'd definitely like to see it back up and running again.

[@Missed_Apex_GT]

My neighbour has an abandoned GTi 6 outside about 15 footsteps away from my house....I been wondering this too Rob

It's definitely worth doing. You'll find that parts for it are ridiculously easy and cheap to get, and you will love working on it because everything is so easy and space is so good. Can't wait to see it!

[@joefranks9230]

Lovely motor, love the 306, loads of people will watch it, please restore it

[@philiprush2266]

That would be a great car to do on the channel they’re getting a great following again worth a bit now

[@antoMcG]

Yeah! Would love to see more of these! Could you not get another key setup for it cheap enough on ebay?

[@andrewmoorey6103]

That’s a breaker. Shame it hasn’t got its original wheels 🙁. Remember these when they were new. Engine was the only good bit.

[@neilmicklewright5630]

If that isn't salvage for rebuild, I don't know what is. I really hope you do a series of videos on this piece.

[@MasterBlaster205]

Deffo get the 306 GTI 6 back up and running.Even rarer to see them on the road than the legendary 205 GTI, so will deffo attract attention to the people in the know.No doubt it still has a following.

[@paulreilly4757]

Definitely do it up Rob. I love restorations of vehicles that have a good pedigree.

[@perrycooper3530]

That’s a go into the rob and Chris’s bits and bobs section think I would be checking every where in car incase possibly of a spear key 🤔

[@gregbanks18]

When you're using the snatch block to redirect the car, you need to lock the brakes so the wheels skid,. It will pull really easy then even at a slight angle.. If they're left to rotate you have to create a really sharp angle so just put your foot on the brake and she'll just slide. Great video as usual!!

[@ryana4369]

Get it straight, get it tidy and running and you'll sell it for a decent amount. French hot hatches are always popular (if they've not been destroyed with MAXPOWER bodykits and giant speakers 😂)

[@robloxfan4271]

Ryan A true though i dont think those alloys are original and it has done over 140k

[@finai2381]

Absolutely want a little series outta this one. 306 Maxi Rallye is a classic

Would love to see this on the road again.I love the old Pugs.I had a 106 and I loved it.xx

[@banksy2012]

Love the way you loaded that Rob brilliant you've got skills mate

[@danjohnson8543]

Get involved, Peugeot don’t make them like this anymore hence the huge following the 306 has.

[@kevinwebster299]

Definitely do it. I think most of us will watch it as you guys are so down to earth with a realistic budgets for things.

[@TheGhiaDriver]

These are a modern classic, what a find! I'd love to see you guys recommission this one, especially knowing the quality of work you do.

[@My911]

...and anyway, the smile on your face tells us that you want too. Come on, it's a classic from your youth - well, almost :)

Worth doing as they relatively rare now I would do to original spec and try find original wheels be good project

[@grahamirving3743]

I echo everyone's comments and would love to see the 306 gti running again , The pug gti 's have a cult following especially 205 gti's, and back in the day my mates dad had a 309 gti cool or what👍

[@garrytalbot3456]

I had a Winchester grey 3 door 309 GTi , brilliant car , more comfortable than the 205 GTi and better handing and then subsequently had a 306 GTi6 , The later car was the better one but it was a close run thing.

[@grahamirving3743]

Garry Talbot I was more of a Capri man myself had 4 in total , look what they are worth now , sick 🤢 if only 👍

[@2strokemxclassics]

I've had Peugeot all my life had them all in the 90,s there's a button under the indicator stalk,when you hot wire them, on diesels anyways never owned the petrol ones I reckon it'll be the same if its factory immobilizer, it was join the 2 yellows and the red wire the dash will light up then when the heater plug light went off you touched the orange wire to the other joined 3 wires and took it off when started, but before joining the wires(or turning the key) you kept the button in for 5 or ten second and it knocked the alarm/I mobilizer off, and a big wrench over the barrell and push it down to the floor and it bends out and the ignition barrell it comes out of the slot in the steering column so you can turn the wheel(then it can be bent back up when a new barrels in) hope this helps might save you money m8

[@neilthorpe3914]

I would try and turn the engine before spending anything Rob .

[@matthewwalters7126]

I had the 2.0 xsi version years ago and I loved it tbh,always liked the gti-6 to so I reckon it would be great to see this one restored by you and Chris as these are rare cars now and your more than capable of getting this looking as good as new again yes please Rob go for it 👍😎

[@andybigbs9466]

A GTi PUG !! Great..looking forward to lots of vids on this!

[@craigclarke8596]

Turn it in to a track car, they go pretty well even compared to today’s standard

[@alexhall27]

Don't start it. The timing belt will snap if it hasn't already.

[@marklittler784]

That's good advice, look before you leap like he did with the motor home, last thing needed is another mishap.

[@sammytheseal2307]

If not the timing belt then the tensioner or water pump is probably seized and will cause the belt to snap!

[@jason5783]

Never been a fan of French cars. Weigh it in 😂

[@robbo8566]

Hahahaha big mac

[@derekjackson7024]

Ye guys go for it, nice too see the older motors like this being brought back to life 👍

[@alanellis6688]

Definitely worth saving! I will say a sunroof isn’t always a desirable option on old Peugeots, the one on my 205 GTI leaks like a sieve and has caused me no end of issues

[@ianwebb4127]

Hi Rob these 306/6 were the hot hatch to have back in the day guessing most of your subscribers are all around our age and remember these , recovering it the way you did was the correct way to do it but using a snatch block on your loops instead of a strap, saves the strap and better for your cable, always worth keeping one in your truck keep up the vids Ian...

[@sruk]

I have one mate but took it out wen cleaning it 👍

[@chaos.drummer]

I’ve got a 99 GTI6 and I absolutely love this car.

[@seanoliver4531]

I’d love to see it back on the road always loved the way the sides sweep inwards along the sides on the 306’s it look mint with a wash and polish. 😎👌

[@jonbrown4642]

These were raved about by the motoring press back in the day, i'd love to see it back on the road and I'm sure the parts required are sitting on peoples/subscribers garages. I think I'd be looking for a full secondhand lockset rather than bending over for Peugeot to rinse you for a key, immobiliser should be easy to bypass given it's age too. I'll have a look at a few of my local yards for a window glass and panels

[@Grum_P_Oldman]

Love watching your videos you're so down to earth. Please at least get the little Pug running there's nothing better and more satisfying than seeing and hearing and engine run in a rare classic hot hatch. Good luck guys can't wait to see your next installment 👍
