R16 GL -68 |
|
I recently bought this car from a friend that owned it for 3 years, but
never used in trafic. When he got it the head gasket was blown after a
serious overheating. The cylinder head had to be flattened 0.7 mm, max
allowed according to the manuals is 0.3 mm. Since it had been out of trafic for a few years I had to fix the brakes and some other small things like the ignition lock. |

My friend wanted his R16 TX wheels back, to fit it on his R15 TS. Here I have found some decent original wheels |

The car is also still in original paint, or should I say what's left of it! On all top surfaces there is practically no traces of the original paint. The darker grey areas is the primer, and you can even see the brown paint they dip the car in. It is painted in blue-grey metallic 435. These early metallic paints didn't last very long. |
