Project XIX

well, where do i start? many of you probably remember this from the old site, so i'll cut a lot of the crap from that!

so bought this wayyyyyy back in 2001 as this was the car i lusted after, Renault 19 16v, hatchback 3 door. Its an 'H' reg, so is legally de-cat'ed by myself
i hope you will have a browse through and add some opinions, good or bad. i have been following neals restoration, and unfortunately, i only happen to live in a ground floor flat so space is a bit, um, hard to come by, so i have commandeered some parts of my dads shed which i hope he doesn’t mind, so updates will probably be a little more longer in between

anyhow, i have started getting bits and bobs as new or new as possible, and have so far managed to obtain rear shocks, £10, new drilled and grooved discs, £50, braided brake hoses, £39, new coolant bottle unfortunately from Renault, £36, new set of alloys with nearly new tyres, Kumho's, £200, these are only 15' wheels as i believe in keeping the wheel sizes as original, and these tyre sizes might be reasonably priced when coming to replace them.
I also have a new radiator to pop in when the time arises, that i bought off ebay quite a while ago for around £30 if i remember rightly.

all these are to be fitted to the "new" engine for transplant, and the interior will also be removed and cleaned thoroughly, and everything will be checked to make sure it is working correctly......
