By the looks of the pics it'd require a fair bit of welding, but worth saving for sure! Are these the cars that Renault didn't paint behind the bumpers and other hidden areas to save paint? Or is that a myth? I'm sure I've seen pics somewhere with the bumpers removed and just factory primer behind them...

TS is a much better bet than the TL. Parts are a bit of nightmare, but if you have the time you can always sort the rust, it's just steel. They've been built with fuego turbo lumps in them before now.
Don't offer too much though - I sold mine to RatDat for £50 I think!

I remember more of these around than the R17, but still not many. Even the Fuego seems pretty rare now.

Good luck, it would be great if you could bag this for a bargain price. It looks to be complete which I think is very important for a rare old bird like this.

That really doesn't look too bad at all for one of these, I mean there's even some metal surrounding the rust holes! If it's a TS, I think it should have the larger 1565cc engine from the 16, with 90 rampaging horses rather than 60! Definitely worth saving this one IMHO.

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.

Hope you manage to bag this RW, I will concur that it looks like it's been dragged out of recent storage.
