My New Rivage - Might be going... For how much?

Hey,

Been on here almost a couple of weeks and FINALLY had the time to get some photo's up! Hope you like it so far - got lots to do though…

that interior is the mutts nuts!!!

rest of the car looks ok too!

Cheers! Want to get it re-sprayed, change the finish on the wheels, get coilovers, replace the carpet, fit clear indicators in the bumper, put a standard steering wheel back on it, give the underside a good bit of protection and I SHOULD be there! But we all know it never ends once we get started...!

be nice when done tho!

Yeah hope so! I'll update the pics as I go…

Hey there fella,

car looks lovely, specialy the interior with the addition of the rear headrests. looks like a nice little find.

will be keeping an eye out on this little thread  :wink:

Cheers dude, glad you like it…

Ordered the new carpet and sound deadening for underneath. Just need to get various new seals, stop the squeaky exhaust, give it a full service, new tyre, fit the original steering wheel, get the rear brakes sorted… The list goes on and on! But it WILL be done! Oh yeah, also want to replace the suspension - know a decent, reasonably priced kit? It's a daily driver so needs to be practical too.

Hopefully see you soon!

What carpet did you go with? I have a Rivage too and its getting cream leather soon to replace the blue cloth, but I looked at Newton Commercial and they only do the biscuit colour carpet. I was wondering how dark the biscuit colour actually is?

I know, it's a tricky one. Almost went for the biscuit one myself but decided on black in the end. Because the current cream one looks tired, and it's a daily driver for me, I didn't want to go down the same route and have to replace it again further down the line. Hope it looks alright! Should be fine as the dash and the rest of the plastic trim is in black anyway…

Won't be ready for a few weeks but I'll post pics once it's in.

Tell me about it, the list of work on these cars is never ending. everyday i find little things wrong with mine.

just means i will keep busy over the winter  

im also on the hunt for a decent set of coilies and and some speakers for my drivers door.  ops:

Right. Just a few pics of some work I carried out a few weeks back… LOADS of old s**t wiring for speakers, neons, you name it! Reckon it goes a bit quicker now - bonus!  :wink:

And after I fitted a new (old) steering wheel and black carpet…

Very nice Rivage there mate, very nice.

Thanks very much mate. It's getting there, but I want it better!

New front and rear brakes, suspension, full service and cam-belt being done this/next week. It's a new exhaust next month after I get paid… Then who knows?!

Ha ha afraid not mate - they went straight in the bin!

8O  Never thought black carpet would suit a rivage, but looks suprisingly nice. good job!

Whats happening with the hole left on the dash by that random stalk that was removed?

   haha…..neons!

Cheers mate, yeah I wasn't sure but with a girlfriend like mine, who sometimes isn't the most considerate when getting into the car with dirty footwear, it just had to be the black carpet!

As for the horrible hole… Not sure, trying to find a blanking plate for it at the moment so if you know of anywhere? Tried halfords already but we'll see.:dontknow:

Had the new front and rear brakes done and carried out a full service with cambelt change this week. Ordered a brand new suspension kit (standard) so that'll be on soon… Then need to stop the annoying exhaust sqeak/rattle, make sure the roof is 100% for the winter, two new tyres, some steel winter wheels and it's ALMOST there!

How's yours going anyway? Good I hope?


 

8O  your going to run yours in the winter? brave man.

well, sounds like you are well on your way with the car, its nice to see  

as for mine, havnt really had much time to spend on her, i had to take a day off work to do some work on the car, im just testing for the meantime really, this is what she looks like at the moment.
