Red GTL

[djenka]

After a few years here I am again.
Blue GTL was sold 6 years ago.
Since then I was looking for another R4.
This time I wanted to find one in perfect condition, just for weekend ride. For fun.
And last year in april I found...I think the worst one








It has 246.743 km, it was build in Slovenia 1990.
Chassis and body was in bad condition, engine was starting, but oil consumption was too high.

And restoration lasted for 1 year.

Everything was replaced.

This is how it looks now.









I use it since april this year. Now the clock is at 250.350km

In next posts I will put whole photo story.

I bought the car for 200 eur. And with the car I get a lot of new parts.


















I found even new floor panel, side chassis panels, new pistons, bearings...

Everybody was telling me that I should find some either older or R4 in better condition. But I decide to back this one into life

I spent one year, and XXXX eur , but I dont regret.
