Hi
Just registered. Unfortunately Iam without a Renault 4 at present but I do own two Renault Alpine GTAs. A normally aspirated and a turbo. His and hers haha. (She doesn't get that joke!) So not entirely Renaultless! I bid on the grey GTL on ebay recently but it sold off auction to someone local I think. I suspect it may have needed more work around the rear suspension mounts than I would really like to get into though. No disrespect to the seller there.
Have owned 3 Renault 4s in the past. An old 750 3 speeder, a GTL on which the rear suspension mounts kept falling off! and an F6 van all of which I had tremendous fun owning and driving especially the van.
Malcom, I fitted a full cloth sun roof to the GTL myself, dead easy. I think I found it in a scrapper. Don't remember it leaking (only whilst I ran around in it with just the hole in the roof !) and neither do I remember it being particularly noisy. It had a lovely green tinted, curved perspex flap that you tilted up to deflect the wind when the roof was opened. Brilliant.
I love the look of the orange "4 tour de course" hill climber pictured on the irish R4 site. My favourite would be something like that with a 1400cc with 5 speeder in it (Gordini preferably) brakes and wheels too and maybe Alpine style quilted bucket seats in the front. I could say stripped out but theres not much to strip out is there?! Sorry if thats sacrelidge to some!
If anyone fancies a GTA for something like that let me know! One at least has got to go.
Cheers
Lee
