Anthony, Bigal, give in and get a reno / get it out :P
Yes the later ones where famously put together in Melbourne where... well, yes little corrosion prevention was done. Mine luckily enough was an early one imported directly from France so it's surviving ok.
You should totally post pictures of that Virage in your shed, I promise not to fall in love with it and or PM you about it =)
My 12 looks like this;
And then I got some old Renault 18 wheels that some guy had welded hoops on out to 6" (original wheels are 13x4, now with 13x6) and it looks great, doesn't scrub on the track after I belted the rear guards (they will end up with dato flares I reckon) and it handles so much better. A little heavier in the steering true, but heck, less body role, less understeer just from 205mm tyres. Tyres are important
So whats left / in it?
-I've got a set of Koni reds to fit in (need some springs made),
-she has a 21mm sway bar at the front and a 25mm at the rear (similar spec to what they used on the 12 Gordini) not going to worry to much about them until I get the suspension sorted.
-I have larger drums and discs (vented) from a Renault 17 to bolt on
-Programmable ignition is in
-And inlet manifold left to make in order to install those 40mm CVK carbs he he he
So far, it's been a bloody hoot! Driving shit cars as quick as you can is actually fun.
