The answer, absolutely! We picked up the grandaddy of hatchbacks, the OG, A Renault 16. I made it my mission to drive this car for Christmas so spent the last week in the workshop late at night, getting it ready for the road. A coolant flush, a new expansion bottle, cleaned the points, set the timing, rebuilt the brakes, a new wheel bearing on the back, fixed a load of wiring issues, wired in an indicator relay (who know's what happened to the old one!) a new set of tires and she was ready...For the open roads. Slowly! Whilst I was waiting to collect this #renault I tried to search Youtube for #RenaultR16 videos and couldn't find much in the UK. Perhaps it's a generational thing and the sort of people who own these aren't making Youtube content? Either way, I'm going to change that. So stay tuned as we turn this rolling resto into the gem it deserves to be.
