hi a lifetime ago i bought a renault 10 that caused some head scratching at the tyre shop as the wheels had no hole in the middle so balancing was a test of skill eventually they found an adaptor that came with the tyre fitting and balancing machine so they could do it a lot better but they hated that poor little car
cheers roger mcnab
A problem I also had with my Pug 106 back in the day!
Some updates,
Things are coming together, but every 5 minute job is seeming to take hours. Also getting immensely frustrated at the crap being sold by suppliers these days. The loom is a key example. None of the black plugs fitted together, and also just crumbled. They look like cheap 3D printed junk. So they all had to be taken apart, and the spades swapped.
Interior mirror, bought a new one, none of the locking collars fit, so tried another one, the cap to hide screws doesn't fit. So if anyone has a good condition Wingard one please let me know.
But anyway, enough moaning, here's some progress pictures.
One of Marks lights fitted!
Back doors are on, currently trying to compress the door rubbers so they'll lock, going to take some effort I think!
We have had the engine running, unbelievable, it fired straight up, no coughing into life, but burst into life. Will be needing a tune up but the dynamo is out at the moment as its only kicking out 6V.
Getting close to the deadline now.... Beulieu isn't far away and we were really hoping to be driving it there. Must stay positive
