I saw that gem for sale and thought it was a complete bargain! You've done very well there indeed...!!!
These early Metro's are becoming rarer by the hour so good ones like this need to be saved!
Brilliant...

That is such a cool van... There is just something about a Transit van that is just so 'right' and yours is pretty much perfect! I do hope you keep it as is in the looks department but I urge you to shove some more 'beans' under the bonnet one day!!!

That's what I love about this forum... Sometimes it seems like help is not enough for some people on here, they always go one (or two steps!) step further than the call of duty and that is just awesome...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great and worthy selection of winners...!!! I was HUGELY honoured to be nominated for an award (Event of the Year) so to be in the same company as the Goodwood Revival and the Le Mans Classic amongst other greats will do for me and then some...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may not have got a win this year but from little acorns etc...!!!
Well done to every one who got a podium place and to everyone who was nominated for an award, it feels great doesn't it...?!
Retro Rides really is the forum to be on...

Judging by the GB sticker I can only assume that this e23 was only used for the occasional Continental jaunt?!
Stunning...

Leather really didn't look any better than in a Renault Monaco...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd love any one of the Monaco range to grace my driveway to be honest, they just look so 'right'...

That is such a cool car and a ruddy rare old beast...!!!
I always thought the trim and the bumpers were body colour on these luxury Renault's...?!
This really is a gem and I cannot wait to see more of it...

It's a shame you cannot complete this project but there are times when it is better to call it a day than to break yourself trying to fix it up!
I am sure that this car will go on to help others which is a great thing in itself...
Also, I am sure that by starting to get stuck in to rebuilding this car you've further boosted your confidence in being able to do certain things you maybe struggled with before?! In which case, that's a really good thing...
All in all I think that by giving this project a go you've done the right thing and by saying "enough is enough" you've most certainly done the right thing...
I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing your next project...

Was this made to promote the new 'Sonic' (pepperpot) alloy wheel...?!
