Alps - 1992 Green Rivage

Been busy with her as spring is here, seems like an evergrowing list lol!

Replaced the fuel cap with the correct style, also replaced the sticker around the screws to tidy this up


Stuck some new Logo`d Mats in to tidy up the interior, anyone know the best way to get the carpets back in the corners, previous owners have tried to glue it down!









After a Little clean



Also replaced the stereo with an older unit, which actually sounds a lot better, installed the cd changer in the glove box for now but may have to move it as I miss the storage.


Bought these last year and they have been sitting in my garage waiting to go on.

Pic with the hood down end of last summer.

So I thought id give her an oil change and changed the brakes , and I put the shiney`s back on

Finally a shot with the wheels on looking a bit more like its Rivage self



 

Loooking good!

I like how you managed to restore the bonnet and I love them Le Castellets!

Bring the car to Stanford Hall!

Love it, looks spot-on  

Looking good.. Carpet corners..  You need to get some black material stitched back in..  I am having mine done this week.. My carpets are out so it's easy

So a few more years pass by !

- Interior light Fixed - problem was the drivers side switch AND the light unit itself - repalced both.

- Carpet fitting sorted- felt underlay had collapsed - obviosly got soaked at some point then trodden down over the years. Passenger side i lifted and added a layer of foam underlay, drivers side was in peices so ripped it out and added a few layers of foam underlay. did the trick. Sides now fit perfectly.

After a long run at high revs i think i broke something, it started reving high at idle.

so far i have changed the AAV(aux air Valve) which has made no difference, changed the plugs too.

Think the internal pump might be shot (again) so thats being changed next, then the WUR.

I have managed to adjust it all so that its fine when warmed up (a little flat though) but low revs and cuts out when cold.

apart from that i am repairing a rip in the spare seats i have bought and bought some leather spray to recolour them (same colour). Will take some pics when i get a mo.

Today I got my dent guy round (finally) the good guys always seem to be busy… anyhow 9 months later he's here sorting a few minor dents out around the Rivage.

Liking the posts. Regards the dent man how did you find him, Iikewise I need some dents removing but didn't want to approach these corporate firms that's interested in one off trolley dents.

thanks, he was highly recommended by my local wheel refurb place, he done a few dents in my other car abt a year ago and has been avoiding doing this one as there were some pretty tricky dents. He gave in and booked Friday afternoon/eve free so he could tackle this. Bootlid and the big one on the rear panel took the longest due to the double skin. I tried sending pics to other dent guys and they were all a bit wishy washy with their replies, some saying they couldn't do some of them.

Try some of the local car dealers and see who they use, this guys does a lot of work for the car sales places.
