Again, as commented on the last video. There are loads of potential areas of hidden rust on the 306, but you really (really) need to delve right into the underneath of these things. Check every square inch, the old rubberised coating on the underneath of these eventually crack and allows moisture (turning into fabulous iron oxide) in. I stripped every square inch of lifted rubber off to the good metal and put a very thick recoating of Hammerite after sanding and treating. I’ve become really rather well versed into the pitfalls and taking of these things.
I’ve had about 5 of these back in my day. Always something wrong each time. But I didn’t give a shit they were cheap and as long as they got me from a to b.
DIY is more learning than doing while you build experience up.
Keep at it. Always good to see someone preseving old cars.

Literally going to get one today. Asked the guy and there is a hole. Knocked money off the car so I can get it welded up
Wise move! Wish I’d done the same
