What have you done to your Retro Renault today?

I seriously need to see pics of this collection, sills can be got quite cheap off ebay poland and various other countries
 
tried a few places to get sills but their no longer listed. theres a fella in arklow who will bend me some sheeting to the profile needed. gona get it a heavier gauge while im at it.had a poke around the 16v chamade. had a sucking thru the teeth moment while looking at it.2 minds to break it or not.still looks savage from 10 feet away
 
hung up the keys of the diesel cham due to being replaced with a newer daily driver.have the supervan taxed and tested so ive 1 19 on the road at least.
 
Took the 17's off the cham and stuck them on the supervan. They'll do till I get tyres for the safrane alloys and put them back onto the van.
 
Took the 17s off the supervan and replaced them with 15" fox five spokes.also fitted a new battery.fitted an air freshener.
 
I finally got the PH1 started, went to switch the wheels but the new ones dont fit, so I'll have to get at least 10 mil spacers, longer bolts and a much lower profile tyre, I also pulled out the sunroof cover and binned it as it was stopping my sunroof from opening
 
Put the supervan back to work.pulling like a train and good on diesel even with a heavy trailer behind it.its unusual coz ya normally either get good power or good mpg depending on the pump fitted. The engine i fitted may have been rebuilt coz the car it came out of had 200k miles on it and those engines are normally well spent at that mileage
 
Bleeding the brakes for the first time today after renewing the entire brake system on the project 19 16v. Not one leak! Very proud of myself.
Every line, caliper, master cylinder and bias valve are all brand new. Happy days :)
 
Just enjoying driving the red rocket seeing what mileage it will do, getting 7.5ltrs per 100km,or 37.6 miles per gallon, not bad for a 20 year old car. that's 765 kms or 475 miles, per gas tank.
