i was feeling a little sorry for the frog dog as she had only been used once since rrg, so this week i put her into daily duties for 3 days. She was good fun and totally at home on the roads, ive recently got a new job so she helped break the ice a little at work. The place is full of petrol heads it turns out so all was good with both love and hate for the car

it is one of them cars. i think its more a case of on facebook people are more open about their views and opinions. On here those that like it will say and those that don't generally keep it to themselves? also if they didnt like it here and did say so they are less likely to be derogatory or rude about it. not too fussed its ugly and cool to me and i love bouncing around in it

They look bright now but i expect them to fade off with a little weathering. I used white primer so they are flat like the rest of the cars paint and up close the lines arnt that sharp. Genuinely laughing at diamond on a turd, cheers

the turd element wasn't intended as derogatory , simply expressive!

Nice! But there is still a second narrower stripe to come ( first picture)? Two stripes is better!👍

I’m a fan of the stripes, detracts from the odd “top heavy” look. I’d love to be able to rock something old like this but I like my retro to have power, and for that it wouldn’t be a renault engine 😂

I’d love to be able to rock something old like this but I like my retro to have power, and for that it wouldn’t be a renault engine 😂 oooo burn lol Tempted to slap a turbo into this, in fact ive started to get some bits to do so for a little bit of a power increase. The gearbox wont like it though. I'm on the hunt for a 5 speed box and that would open up a lot more power possibilities. Plenty of Renault engines that will deliver tho power though, plus the car is super light. I do have this partially built and needing a home
