My renault 4 restoration

[Domsky]

Nice progress on the gearbox, curious about future real life experience on that automatic torque biasing helical limited slip differential

Me too i will definitely share the experience, but everything is better than open diff

 

[Domsky]

I quickly made tool for the diff bearings, and finished the gearbox, now the heart of my car is complete!

 

[Jurjenz]

Nice tool you have made! I had a real trouble getting the diifbearings off. Seems much better than my crappy tool

Thanks for showing your progress, I enjoy watching your progress.

I Started to work on the body of my renault, some amount of fiber glass
I like the riveted pieces of metal.

It was done in the 90's and held up till now, the owner didn't have access to the welder

 

[Domsky]

I started welding the body, first patch came out not too bad but there was good bit of guessing how it supposed to look
Tomorrow i will make attempt to make reinforcement plate on top.
Also my repair panels and wings arrived.

 

[Domsky]

After removing filler and fiber glass
I found out that every corner of the body requires welding, due to lack of time once i cut and fabricate bit of metal, it's going inn regardless if it fits or not

 

[Domsky]

After couple of months, my exhaust finally arrived, and i5 looks good.
The radiator and hoses are also on the way.

 

[Jurjenz]

Wow, very shiny! Seems like custom build?

They have also radiators and silicon hoses for r4.
I did wait couple of months until exhaust and radiator was back in stock , but well worth it

 

[Domsky]

My progress is slow, but I'm going forward, the body id mostly repaired, chassis and suspension assembled also engine and box just waiting to be fitted

 

[Domsky]

Welding done! Yay! Now bit of gringing and it's going to be blasted and primed.
Also my aluminium skid plates arrived!
At the blasting place i found original f4 used by Irish police on Dublin airport.

 

[Homegrown]

Have checked your rust repair videos on your chassis again to get some motivation to start welding mine.
Keep up the good work.

 

[Domsky]

I collected the body from the blasting place, they did good job while blasting, but they supported the body on the lift in the wrong place and bent the body a bit.
I found couple places where i need to weld it but otherwise happy with the result

 

[Briangrech]

Mine will be going to soda blasters in a week,nice progress!

 

[Domsky]

The body went to the body shop, for some filler and epoxy primer, well it supposed to be done last month, but as always it takes more time, in the meantime i got new door seals and lock inserts.
