Hello,
After months of preparation I started Januari 2017 with the full restauration of my R4 GTL 1985.
This is my second R4 which I purchased in 2014.
My first R4, and first car, was a GTL 1983 which I purchased in 1987. I've driven over 280.000 miles with that first R4 untill 1992.
Everybody knows that R4's are very reliable, the engine never failed me, repairs are cheap and overall easy to perform. The only disadvantage is... they're rust sensitive.
I've got several years in mind and everything will be kept as much original as possible. It's an oldtimer so for me never a fancy electronic ignition system, upgraded engines or whatever other modern gadget. Although she will get some blingbling underneath the bonnet
Hereby the state before dismantling and of course you will be kept informed for the upcoming years.
