Lovely Stu - pure 1970's BL kitsch - look after her now - I can see her in TV and Films already.

Indeed Chris, my renard has a small claim to fame as I hired it out to boden.co.uk (catalogue company) last weekend for a photo shoot as they wanted a retro 70's car

Tell the wife? Now why would you want to do a stupid thing like that?

well i'm still alive just have to do a bit of overtime to make it up :shock: :shock: but I did get the car running tonight had to blow through the petrol lines and then added a couple of gallons of fresh petrol and with a jump start (the battery is knackered) it fired up and sounded very sweet, just got to bleed the clutch out now and try and free it off,I didn't think brake fluid evaporated but both the brake master cylinder and the clutch master cylinder are bone dry...suppose all the seals may have perished with it standing may be time to get some seal kits

if you need anything i can bring it down with me at the weekend.

anything to do with the front or rear brakes as it looks like i'm going to have to rebuild them including the calipers which i'll just do the seals, the front flexi pipes don't look so good and the clutch is stuck on with no fluid in the master cylinder so i'm hoping I won't have to re build the slave or master clutch cylinders i'll just try to bleed them out with new fluid at the moment

Very nice Stu, I've got a brake master cyl and clutch master cyl both are used but recently removed and in good working order if you get stuck. Rear cylinders are on ebay.
Good luck with it Chris.
