thanks trev and nice to see local people on here i must say its been good to me so for this club and only been with you a few days heres to a good future
Great project, looking forward to the next installment!
No worries. Tell your friends
I have some unused Phase 1 front shocks available... Delphi.
Bought in error for a Ph.2

Any info on where to get top struts from as well thanks
Think I remember seeing someone saying those were still available from Renault for the phase 1
I could be interested in these if Tuck isnt.
Back on topic
Great looking car Tuck!
Im slowly turning into a phase 1 whore
We had assembled them ready to fit, before we found our mistake.
Available, minus the springs and top-mounts, obviously.
£50 the pair, plus carriage, though would prefer collection if possible...
With Season's Greetings,

Mate thats a great help really sorry but i wouldn't be able to collect but i dont mind paying for postage. my sister that dose my buying as i dont have much of a clue with that side so what will she need to do. Thanks.what was the mistake if ya dont mind me askin and what happened with the top mounts
When i ring people for parts they ask for the reg but nothing comes up on the system when they try i dont know why. thats why im finding it hard to find stuff so when you say renault bigfoot do ya mean then main dealer because i have tried and get no were
sorry to hear about your uncle passing away, but if ever motivation was needed for a car restoration then surely that is it, doing it for him so to speak.
Looks brilliant, keep it up.
If you look at the two mounting holes at the base, on the Ph.1 they are parallel,
but the Ph.2 they are offset at an angle. The top mounts were re-used on my car
being restored. I'd had those powder-coated.
I'm not sure about which courier to use and it's a big unwieldy box they come in.
Many courier firms don't take car parts - can anyone advise? I can accept payment by
PayPal.

Yes Jamie cant wait to see the look on my aunties face when its done she was telling me how fast it was and didn't like it because by the sound of it he didn't hang about in it bless him
haha, good lad. fair play to you for taking it on. do him proud with it mate and enjoy it
Dont know what to say with the delivery Steve sorry but like i say im happy to pay what info will i need for my sister to pay. thanks

Have you tried renault to ask? I tried to find the paint code when I had some wheels re-done a few years ago. Only thing is that the colour they are now will probably be darker as they go darker over the years with muck/brake dust etc.
Even if you get the paint code number, it still won't look right, unless you spray
an eggshell lacquer over them afterwards. Because of that, I went with titanium
chrome from AeroCoat. It's not an approximation, but it isn't too divergent or
blingy either. I've received nothing but compliments and expressions of jealousy
for that choice.

That colour Steve is pretty much spot on! Looks period but in a modern sort of way if that makes sense?
I rattle can sprayed mine Vauxhall star silver, and used normal lacquer.
I think it looks spot on to the original colour.
They look great. What did you do to prep the wheels before you sprayed them mate?
As I have a set I want to have a go at.
Thanks Matt, that was my objective. The original finish was semi-matt, not shiny,That colour Steve is pretty much spot on! Looks period but in a modern sort of way if that makes sense?
and the last thing I wanted was people knowingly pointing and saying: You know
your wheels are the wrong colour, don't you? I'm not pretending that it's "right",
but the wheels look smart.
Can powder-coaters do an egg-shell finish off the bat?
Regards,
Steve
