Just picked up a major project

[RollaAce]

LOL, pretty much everything. We can start with the engine. It's a Renault R16.

Let him know it's one of the very last federal series imported

Believe the renault engines are the ones nobody wants so could be some possibilities there. Havent contacted him but will try today. He has some other cars too like 85 Mr2 that needs trans, perfect body and interior. Also has a race prepped crx.

Not bad, nice to see something that rough could bring so much money still.

Mine is even rarer than that one. So good news. Thank's for sharing!

It doesnt look like that sold yet lol. I sure wouldnt pay that much for that car.

Me either, but they are rare. So it probably is worth that, but being worth something and finding a buyer are different.

Got any plans for a powerplant?

[Justin51982]

Probably the stock Renault R16 engine. It produces enough power, plus the car only weighs about 1400lbs with engine.

However, this car is 2 behind. I'm working on my 69 Datsun now, with the goal having it completed by late Spring of 2010, maybe early summer. Then after that I'm going to finish up my 1990 RX7, then I will get to the Lotus

I'm considering selling it. Any offers?

How much? As a little advise, should you keep it, find a 1972-1975 Jensen Healey for a motor. These have a great 1600cc twin cam lotus that is better than the renault gordini 1.8L.

I don't really know how much, make me an offer and I'll consider it. It technically isn't actively for sale, but EVERYTHING is for sale for the right price. So if I'm offered something I think is fair I would take it.

Can you send me pics? [email protected]

Good pics, but it is a bit rough for what I am looking for. I think there are going to be some serious fiberglass issues (frame and body) that will need addressed before painting.

It is pretty rough, but the frame is metal, so no issues there, and the fiberglass is actually in surprisingly good shape through most of the car.

I was referring to the Frame to Fiberglass joints, but if the chassis is straight and relatively rust free then you have a good start. You should put a big valve 2.0L in it if you can get one. what are your plans for the car if you restore it?

I really don't know. I am thinking about taking it back to more or less stock. I keep going back and forth on ideas for a power plant though. Maybe I should go back to stock, or maybe I should update to something else I don't know.
