Ok, things are not lookin up for my Rene, and since it was the 4's 50th birthday this sat gone, I tracked up the M27 and M3 (scaring the hell of out modern cars as I pushed my way thou) to go to the meet up at the Brooklands Museum to meet other R4 owners and get help with Rene and start a new plan of action on how to or even if to save him.
I am very happy with the welcome I got althou Rene stood out a bit with his blue bonnet and black wings and had a few people under the bonnet or in the boot, even underneath telling me where the problems hide and how to prevent them.
By the end of the day a full rebuild was said to be the way to go and in the custom direction (modernise if you will).
Now, question is.......not 42.
What is the best way to start this rebuild?
Stuff to watch out for?
Places to look for parts that could be needed?
Any mods that have come across as a good idea to the R4 world?
and ideas people would like to see or not see :?
Also couple of questions for the end of the rebuild really
Stainless Steel Exhausts?
The rims that Derek (Renospeed?) R4 and Van sit one - what are they?
Or can the hubs be converts to others (better brakes, 4 PCD discs at the back?)
and since being 22 years old....lowering?
And yes, i have a Welder :twisted:
