Really sorry to hear about your predicament, but your four sounds very interesting, do you have any pictures to put up so we can see her please?

I would suggest keeping the car is you still like it. I had an eye problem that stopped me driving my MG for a couple of years, but I got back into it after the worst was over (though it's been refusing to work since then).

Failing that there's info about how to upload photos here: http://www.renault4.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=2531

PS - I can probably do the bits needed if you point the new owner here. Keen to get rid of a gearbox.

thanks for the replies, now ive tracked down all the bits for the mot and one of the boys mucked her out and gave her a quick once over with colour magic and theres a gearbox offer...its very tempting to keep her..im going to have a really good attempt at posting some photos tomorrow, if they work, they definately do the car credit....the body work needs a fair bit of time to bring it up to show condition, I dont see me being healthy enough to do it.
yours steve
