1992 Rivage Resto

Post

Back to the top
Hi all,

Just though I'd throw up a few pics of my Rivage which has just had a colour change.  I've had it for a while now - was running up until 5 years ago when it was taken down to a friends bodyshop for a slow burn colour change.  The slow burn turned out to take 5 years during which time most of the stripped parts were stolen from storage and this is what I've got back last weekend.

The plan is to leave the car looking as close to standard as possible (other than colour change) with some small subtle changes.

For now I need to get it up and running AND fit out an interior and get it through the MOT.  The engine and running gear need to be recommissioned after not being run for so long and I need to get every little missing part replaced.  From hood to door cards to door handles to all seals etc…

Anyway, I shan't go on too long.  I will update as I go along - which may take a while with new additions/house etc!

I hope you enjoy the pics.

Looking good and I'm liking the colour.  Be careful driving it into the garage as it looks a narrow drive as you don't want to chip/scrape any of that lovely new paint..

Shame some scum bag stole the bits in storage, any thing you need post up in the wanted section and hopefully some ones has the bits you need or advice on where to get them.

Great paint finish!! Yes shame about the scum nicking your parts, but glad they didn't take the seats - they're pricey to replace!!
