Cyrille, have you replaced the center console? If not, i have the console in that color. I will not need it for my projects. The logistics of shipping may be an obstacle, but i would let you have it, as i hate to see yours in such bad condition

Francois, yes, i have changed the heater core. Since i had the dash out already, it was a good time to do so.

The heater core is very hard to find over here, and shipping charges from Europe are expensive!
Luckily one of my parts cars had the replacement all brass heater core, after an inspection, it was in good condition and i used that one.

I do not like the plastic and aluminum heater core, that is the only type i saw from Nissens or Valeo, did you find a brass unit, or the plastic type?

Cedric, thank you! The work has slowed down, sanding, body filler, preperations for painting are very time consuming as i am a mechanic, not a painter

On a side note, i have the factory service manual that includes step by step removal and installation of the soft top, if anyone needs this, i may be able to scan the pages and create a file for them.

Happy Renaulting!

I think my meaning was lost in translation, i wanted to find the names of the people around the table in image 217?
The man on the laptop is RACP president?
I can't find the dog either

I've heard stories that guys would rent those Mustangs and take them to the local drag races, all the fun without the cost!

Rent a race car, have some fun, take it back on monday!

Very nice photos, i am suprised by the number of American cars over there!  And yes, Francois, 1958 Ford Fairlane.

Cedric, No apologies needed, that is the answer i was looking for. Good information on the link you provided as well.  Thank you

Francois, is that a mid 60's Firebird you have there? I would like to see your progress with that project. You appear to have many nice toys to play with

I have owned several AMC Renaults over the past 25 yrs.  I got interested in them when i worked for an auto dealership that sold the AMC/Jeep/Renaults, they where new to the market, and no one wanted to work on these foreign cars, so being the new kid, they gave them to me to work on. Whenever one was deemed too expensive to repair, i would make an offer to buy, then repair it and resell it. In the end, i kept 4 convertibles thinking someday i would fix them up. The 2 i have for restoration are the ones i drove when Brenda and i first met, i eventually fixed up the red one for her, and my black one broke the timing belt and got parked for later repair.  That is my story, i would like to hear how and why so many of you overseas have chosen to import and fix up this little known car from Kenosha. So if you don't mind sharing your stories, i would like to hear them!

Thanks for your help Mr Admin!

Francois, yes, to me the black ones are the most beautiful . I have a picture of yours as the background picture on my computer

Hello fellow Alliance lovers, I have 2 convertibles that i will be restoring for my wife and myself. Of course i must do hers first in order to keep her happy   I thought you all would like to see some pictures of my projects, but my computer skills are not very good, so you will see this message, and hopefully with Cyrille's help, he will post the images for me. The red car is my wife Brenda's car, i repainted and replaced the top some 10 years ago, but it's time to do the whole car now. The black one is my 1986 Alliance DL. I will get more pictures as the work progesses, and if anyone has any questions i will be glad to answer them.        Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures, and i will look forward to participating in the forum!   Geoffrey
