Hi everyone,
after denying myself a R4 for too long I finally got a R4TL ´77/78 last month which currently is getting a lot of TLC and some fresh paint.
One of the issues I have is that the door screen metal surrounds are badly corroded and ideally want replacing.
Does anyone have a contact for replacement frames?
The second issue is regarding the potential to easily replace the black radiator plastic grille with the Mk2 metal grille from the early 1970s. Would the earlier grille fit onto the later car bonnet? Did they use the same headlights? How many parts does the earlier grille consists of? Anyone willing to part with a full set of parts needed for the transplant?
Last issue for now - The project owes most body parts from a French shell which came with a molded white single-piece plastic headlining (or is that a canopy?).
I haven´t seen these before - does anyone know if that was a factory fitted part or an aftermarket product?
Thanks for your help,
Peter
