A110 Group 4 Conversion

[monoposto]

Rather than ask more questions this time I figured I should show some progress!

This past september/October I began the task of converting my FASA A110 to Group 4 body work. Lots of fiberglass work and a bit itchy at times as well. Overall it's going pretty well though.

Last pictures show the shark mouth front being prepped for fitment and will be bonding it on sometime this month. After that I'll have to figure out front radiator support/fiberglass pieces/fans, etc.

Enjoy!

Sam's Alpine A110 1600S !!!

Sam and I have been friends for about 5 years. He heard I worked on classic Renaults, and wanted a few things done on his Silver V85. I did quite a bit of work for him, a real tune up and re-set all the front suspension (mod the accident damaged LH front) He was very chuffed and has returned...

Some years ago, I wrote an article with photos for Mille Miles Alpine magazine which they did not publish for some reason. It covered the installation of a front radiator in my 1969 A110 plus all the associated bodywork. Can email to you if you pm your email address.

Glad the article was helpful. Cannot post here due its size.

Here's a few more from this weekends work. The shark mouth is just about ready to be bonded. Hoping that happens next weekend!

Also test fit the radiator ducting. Needed the heat gun a bit to "massage" it to fit as it appears to have warped significantly from the mold.

Lots of work done this weekend. Thanks to the help of a very good friend who also owns an A110 we were able to get the front end bonded. Also managed to get the front intake bonded to the car as well as fit the radiator and fan shroud.

Everything else looks the same so just this picture of the frunk with most of the pieces together for now!

This weekend was mostly just sanding and prepping for glassing the seam on the front end.

I've been trying to find the RENAULT 341 paint sample that was used in the later years and it is proving to be an absolute pain in the rear. Hoping to make some progress on that front this week.
