And now that is out the way work can commence on the Venturi.

I see you've made easy access for the Venturi as well will contrast nicely upon that wooden floor!!

Nice work on the house, have you had McCloud round to air his views yet?

More 21 Turbo pics as well!!

That is one nice crib there! Looks splendid and will look even more of a posh pad with a restored Venturi outside. Very good work.

Thanks very much for the comments.

21 turbo is in daily use and will soon be for sale.

Sorry, it's a rubbish joke but I just can't resist making it!

Hi Again,

Your house looks great.

How is the Venturi coming along?

Best regards

Hello,

I have been working on it over xmas and every opportunity I can since then. I now have the dash in and most of the wiring finished and have started putting the interiour back in.

I'm away now for just over a week snowboarding or rather drinking due to the lack of snow but then will continue when i return, with the aim of having it on the road for end of March if possible.

Good to hear progress is occurring, hope to see it in 2017

Finally took a couple of photos today.

I have used 2mm thick mass damping matt on almost all of the inside including the roof. Then added 10mm closed cell form on top.

The headling was then stuck in place and some of the trim panels fitted.

Also got the new headlights fitted.

Now waiting for more parts to arrive this week.

Excellent works here. Looking for some help on the fuel pump on my early Venturi 200 and see you had a similar problem which you must have fixed. I too have had great 'fun' removing the fuel tank. Once, eventually, I got the tank out and removed the pump, I also found, like you, that the hose inside the long aluminium tube is no longer connected to the pump at the base of that tube. But try as I might I cannot split the pump and its nylon(?) insert from the bottom of the tube. Do you have a cunning plan you could share? Buy a new one?! Many thanks. Tristan

Ignore yesterday's post. Have progressed and have a different fuel pump problem now - see new post in Renault Powered Vehicles

So after a very long time of not posting.

Today was a big day I took the car for an M.O.T which it passed!!!


I still have to get it painted but its now roadworthy.

Fantastic work. Light at the end of the tunnel.
