Thanks John. Do you know the date & venue for the muster?We look forward to meeting you in Mildura! I'll back up Mr 4cvgordinis comments about brakes... Good you have a car with some known history.
Thanks John. My Ph No 0427344809Cottonwood Motel Mildura, Saturday and Sunday March 8-9-10. But I suspect it is booked out regarding some meals, events etc. Are you a member of the Renault 4CV Register of Australia - I don't know your name so can't check. Perhaps sent me a PM though Aussiefrogs so we can communicate by email sooner rather than later. It's a good opportunity to meet, that's for sure. Spitting distance from Merbein South!
Text message sent.Thanks John. My Ph No 0427344809
brakes shouldn't be a problem on this particular 4cv. From memory the previous owner (Hamish) had fitted disc brakes. I'm interested to see how he did it while keeping the spider wheels. You will have to investigate for me John, as i wont be able to attend the mini muster this time round.We look forward to meeting you in Mildura! I'll back up Mr 4cvgordinis comments about brakes...
