What's with 80's arse lift?

Looks really good from what can judge from photos, congrats

Nice. Brand new leafs on the back didn't do that to my car

nice.

my 306 came from there too! (when it was new) dealer sticker on the back still..

Ben

sexy dragster!

Suberb. Saloons are really beginning to grow on me. I want one too

hadnt noticed the arse lift

it was sat since autum pointing downhill on a steep drive?
its all original I think, unused original spare.

hole <2cm x ~8cm by battery tray.

pulls to left a bit.


everything else would be nit picking.

had a smoke so might be able to upload rest of pics..

I think the hatches tend to do that aswell, I think its the rear radius arm adjustment. As the axle is rotated it puts tension on the springs to twist them because of the camber in the vertical plane, that then lifts the car. Either that or the front springs are weak.

Perhaps ground had elevation change over distance (a hill that is), so with handbrake on it caused that twist which causes lift?

Of course if front springs are original ones, there might be need to get new ones too, but rather interesting still as CBA had not noticed it before, so that can't probably be how car looks when looking it in it's natural enviroment

upload!! phone go in blender soon.

Has driver's side front wing been replaced at some time? Might be that I have been too long away from my 300, but seams seem not to line up + front indicator is not sitting there too well?

Either way it does look really good, it has been hardly driven out of shop, so low mileage

good spot.
yes.. craply too.
front cross bar for bonnet is barely holding on.

simple flat sheet metal repair. tack/many fine nuts and bolts + glue + waxoyl and adjust the wing properly + more glue x waxoil. if only I had more cash
