Building one car from two 1960's economy giants! Renault Dauphine on a VW Beetle pan!

in this episode we start on the body of the Renault and finally get to see what we have had in our heads for 2+ years!

In really good condition... Usually the rust in dauphine's especially the front Boot is a killer..kinda sacrilege but interest in old 50s Renault is not mainstream... Pity..nice video and of interest.

G’day mate, Here in Australia, that interior trim looks similar to the late 60’s thru to the late 70’s GM Holden seat trims called Houndstooth. There are a few companies here that sell replica trim by the metre. If you google for example 1975 Holden Monaro, you’ll get too see what I mean. With the window rubbers , I soak them in a large container with a mix of diesel fuel and engine oil. They come up like new. Cheers Chris
