Yes I know the panel gaps are way out. Not a priority right now!

Better than mine I imagine! They weren't great when I bought it. The best ones are where the front wings meet the front panel. I've made them myself.

Re: Parallel Renault 16 thread
This evening's work...
I'm actually slightly ashamed to the point I nearly didn't update it but I attacked the small bit of rot by the tailgate. To do it properly would mean removing the headlining so I've just ground it out, treated it to Ku-rust and wobbed it. I'll do it properly one day but I just don't have time for now. It'll last a couple of years.OMG U OK HUN?

Re: Having a clearout, loads of stuff for free.
Done some more on the Renault. Painted and fitted the tailgate. Looks good
Painted the roof again too. Looks shit. Oh well.
Oh and it blue smokes very badly now, whenever it is started. It never used to do that. Great.

Re: Having a clearout, loads of stuff for free.
The Acclaim is coming back out to play after being laid up for five years. It was running quite lumpy and didn't really want to tickover so I took it to Eric Weaver of Ludlow. He understands old cars. I can't be bothered to look at it, carburettors are things I never seem to get on with.
His Transit is mint, it really is a lovely specimen. Owned since new but tipped on its side and reshelled when it was a couple of years old.OMG U OK HUN?

Re: Parallel Renault 16 thread
Chokes you on sodding fumes if you aren't careful, I tried mixing it first to make a putty to apply, it's not a clever idea unfortunately.
