Hello everyone.
I bought my car in February 2008 for € 500 (£ 435).
It had 147,000 kilometers (91,341 miles).
Currently has 153,700 kilometers (95,500 miles).
It is a little used car was bought for love and not by necessity.
I like the fact of having a color difficult to find a renault 19, as well as the interiors in beige / brown and not having seat belts in the back seat.
My aim is to gradually restore the ills of his 21 years of life, and keep it in good condition to get records it as classic car at the Automobile Club de Portugal (ACP)
When purchased:
Current state:
[BREAK=Engine Bay]
The engine suffered some intervention.
The timing belt broke and I decided to change everything I could. 8 new valves, new water pump, new belt tensioner, oil, filters, etc ...
The pipes of the cooling system, thermostat and temperature valve are new. The suspension is all new, and many other small things.
The interior is not in very good condition. As it is beige / brown, it is difficult to find and buy replacement parts at Renault is too expensive for my wallet.
I do not know if it's the quality of the plastic sign of age or sun exposure, but I have many plastics crumbling.
Photos of the engine bay before and after:
[BREAK=New 16v wheels]
I've bought four brand new 16v wheels and tyres from a friend of in the Renault 19 Clube de Portugal fórum.
My goal in the car is still to keep it as original as possible, but the oportunity arose and i thought that this could be an incentive to buy a Renault 19 16v.... has been further!

In the future, the TSE will get back to the tiny '13 wheels
Cleaning before assembly...
And here it is... look nice! hum?
