Restoration > 1984 Renault 4 GTL
Shot of the engine on the chassis
Bare chassis after degreasing and power wash
Everything that came off the chassis
Offside rear suspension mount. The yellow stuff inside is the remains of the expanding foam that renault injected into this section on later models to try and prevent mud getting into this badly designed mount.
The area was shot blasted and all the rust cut out. I used a heavier gauge sheet metal than the original metal and welded a plate onto the opening to prevent water and mud from entering the box section. It took 6 fabricated panels to repair this section.
Underside of offside rear suspension mount. Rust cut out and repair panel welded in.
Nearside rear suspension mount, in a similar condition to the other side.
It took 5 fabricated panels to repair this section.
