Looking good, this is one of the vehicles on my "must go and see" list for the gathering 👍🏻 Just view it from 10 yards off Adey.. looks better from there.

Also some news on possibly finding the dealer that sold it, the VG suffix on the plate points it to the Norwich DVLA office, the Renault dealer there is now known as Holden Renault but back then was Reliance Garage. I've found this mock up of a dealer sticker on a chaps R5 rebuild on Pistonheads but now I need to find someone with some original plates from the 1990's so I can get the logo and details copied and then reproduced by Retro Plates.. (check out instagram for them). Not sure if this helps at all, the original pictures are on turborenault if you need to look closer Awesome! Thanks! Confirms my research I think!

Love the utilisation of the rear arches and lights. Keeps the "Renault" look about the whole vehicle rather than a truck cab with a non descript transporter body on the back. Excellent work. Thanks! Exactly what I was trying to go for.

such excellent work. you get so much done in a short time, quite amazing I’m not really great at any part of it but of the opinion anyone is capable of anything and will give anything a go... sometimes several times. Fortunate to have the space and accumulated tools and machinery over the last few years to be able to do this though.

I love seeing the progress on this! Me too. Great thread. Some brilliant touches. Can’t wait for the great big turbo that will no doubt come along at some point too! I am trying to find out what compression ratio this motor is.....

It looks rather excellent. I have a concern - I know a 2CV is light, but that's a lot of metal added - be careful of rear axle weight! Round here it seems every few hours, traffic pull an over-weight car transporter and post it on facebook. Good point! Though quite surprisingly the Renault is light for its size, even with the added metalwork and the 2cv loaded up and a weekends worth of gear we should still have well over 1 tonne in hand up to the 3.5 tonne limit for this!

Entered and paid up!
Pro tip - Shelsley themselves are the Midland Auto Club and have an Associate Membership (for first year members) at £65 - so this may be a cheap way of joining an allowable Motor Club.
Who else has paid up and in what class?

Finally finished the welding on the Racetransporter so time to get the interior of the lockers and the underside/inside of things in primer at least before I leave the country for a couple of weeks. Rear passenger side inner diffuser mount in position and etch primed. The view down the diffuser tunnel space on the opposing side. Made a 3 minute video and took a few pictures to send to the graphic designer (in Australia) that made the posters for the upcoming Retro Rides Gathering... had a quick look at his instagram page the other day and he had the exact text I wanted to use on this truck and turns out half of his work is liveries - result! Here is the text.... Used up a lot of left over carbon kevlar, carbon and 2 year old resin to cover the 6mm ply that is becoming the locker sides and bases. Aside from ordering a few parts, chasing demon tweeks and some consumables that is pretty much it for the next fortnight whilst I am overseas... straight into filling and fairing the passenger side when I arrive back home, then paint as soon as possible after that in the few days I will have before needing to drive to Retro Rides Gathering at Shelsley! Ohh... via DJ Racecars... in High Peak.. from Devon..

Small box made up with curved top edges to use as a mold, of sorts, for the diffusers either side of the rear number plate.. here with some carbon kevlar laid up on it... Both the bottom 6mm ply panels from the lockers with carbon kevlar laid up over them. Dzus backing plates welded into the passenger side for the forward and rearward panels and the lock backing plates for the giant locker door on this side. Closure plate finally welded into the rear wheel well. Better get a move on... a butt tonne more to do..

Would look even better with the dauphine on there Presuming we get an entry at the Quick60 I will be coming up to Shelsley for RRG, I've got camping tickets already on the off chance, come over if you are camping and winch it on for a photo.
