Thank you Gary! The paint... It was quite a bit a work to find some that match the original color... I tried different green without any luck. I contact a Renault forum in France, thanks Google translator! They gave me the paint chip code. I knew that the Talken (Italian company that make touch-up paint for cars since the 60's) made this color, so I contact them and now the color is out of production because the car is too old , (The Renault 16 was produced from 1965 to 1980) but they told me that they can make it as special order, because they still have the combination code for make it. It was little spendy, adding shipping, and all the laws for the liquid... But at lease the color is right. , is Talken, an Italian company that has a touch-up line for cars. I had to ask them if they still had this color from the 60-70's...

The engine is ok, need some more details I think. The first thing that need to be more real is the starter.

Man...You sure went to great lengths for the correct paint color. It's cool that you were able to still get it. Great dedication my friend. The fab work on the motor really helps it look real too...Great work.

Man...That really looks GOOD Brizio!!! It's going to look really good in the engine bay too.... Thank you Gary! Soon I will prepare the seats. This car was one of the few in Europe to offer 6 seat option.

Not to much done. I rebuild the exhaust system, since it was not very accurate, and the kit did not provide the piece that goes from the manifold to the muffler.

Some more progress. Not too much, but I put the engine in the chassis and after test the body on it. Looks that all is fitting good.
