    Hey Diff, great to see you back in the shop.😊 I'm not embarrassed to say I was quite concerned for you. The best medicine is a positive attitude and cuts and burns from doing the things we love. Keep at it my friend!😊

    Ha! Thx for the shoutout 😊 You’re most welcome my friend. It’s a cheap price to pay for the entertainment you provide. I ALWAYS look forward to spending time in your shop and all the lessons, explanations, and wisdom. Another great episode! I’m loving this project. (As I have all your work). That fender grill is a fantastic touch. As is your new leather work! Be well Div. 😊👍👍

    • @coathanger51
      @coathanger51 Před měsícem +1

      we have seen Ian Rousse;l the four door to two door thing but I really dig the four door thing, it retains the character and aura of the original Renault, kinda like a sleeper, and a lot less work for a rat rod... just saying... I guess I just might be an old fuddy duddy but... ... ...

    • @ratrodsafrica
      @ratrodsafrica  Před měsícem

      Yes, I also feel the 4 tiny doors is one of the things that make this little car unique.

    @paulwier7005 Před měsícem +29

    Diff, Just a suggestion... What ever makes you HAPPY. Have you thought about converting the Renault to a two door? Moving the pillar rearward would make so much easier to get in and out of... Also would open up the pillar blocking your side vision. Cheers. Paul

    but it’s starting to look pretty damn cool.👍

    It's good to see your hands getting back into their natural environment again. After I was laid up in the hospital for months, it bothered me more than I thought it would to see my entirely clean, scratch-free hands! I imagine it's been odd for you, too.

    Hi Diff,
    Yes your quant little french car is starting to look VERRRY COOL and somewhat rally carish...all that's missing now is a large rear wing or maybe a Porsche style whale tail , but now visibly one of a kind. Great work 😊
