Salut... from the UK

First of all, my apologies as my French is so poor I shan't insult you by using it.  I'm using Google's translation service and what little French I do know to work my way through the forum. I hope you won't mind me making this post, I suspect it will be of interest. I can read replies in French with Google's help, it may help improve my limited French too!

In January 2014 I bought a Renault 6TL that had been hiding in a barn in a Welsh farm since 1993.  He cost me just £80.






He has completed at least 131,000 miles (210824km). The engine was seized.  The head gasket had blown.  He has been lifted by his roof!



A friend in Wales stored Crapaud for a year until I could collect him.  I had a Xantia at the time, a very good car.


The UK cars have the steering wheel on the 'wrong' side.


Recently, I refitted the rebuilt engine and have nearly finished putting the car back together again.



There is very little welding to do, the floors and chassis are very solid.  He will not be painted, I will preserve him as he looks as much as possible.  The only thing I'm struggling to find is a good right hand drive headlight for the passenger side.

You can read his whole story with me over here: http://autoshite.com/topic/15611-renault-6tl-crapaud-1504-update/

Moins cher! Il est du bon côté aussi.

I can only use the back, the glass is wrong for the UK. I have spare correct glass. It would probably be cheaper to restore the parts I already have, I shall try that first.

Merci de votre aide.

Bonjour à tous,


J'adore le compteur qui affiche les deux modes, miles/kilomètre, faut que je m'en trouve un

Le toit réparé , et Crapaud arrête maintenant!










I need the rhéostat switch (I think it is).  The single switch under the switch bank to the right of the steering wheel as in this picture.  Mine is missing.



That is my brother's Picasso, in case you were curious.

Super résultat !
