Hello Steve
I will come back to you quickly !

Hi Steve,
Unfortunately, on US R17 models, switches are different of europeans one.
In fact, lots of spare parts are specifics !
But we will do our best to help you.

Steve, could you put pictures of switches ?
Thanks.

Thank you for the offer of help!

This will be a challenge for us all.

Keeping our cars on the road and running.

I saw on a wiring diagram the US Power window switches look like they have 5 connectors.

BMW Power window switches from 1981-1992 also have 5 connectors. I am wondering if they operate the same? I would need a wiring diagram for both.

Michel tomorrow I should be getting some pictures.

If my luck holds also my other 73 R17 1313 gets delivered.

Here she is on the trailer being shipped to me on Friday.

I hope she is nice as my Yellow 72/73

In France ,i know a lot of men who want the same !!!

This second R17 looks like to be in very good condition !

Congratulations Steve , It's very nice this car !!
Me too, I will hope one day to find another R17. Why not in this forum ?

I think I've attached a picture of this red R1313 already!
It's one of the nicest RENAULT 17 alive in U.S.!
BRAVO Steve.

Steve songe à une restau moteur car la belle a eu un incendie.

Steve thinks to a big engine repair because it had a bad fire.

I think it is possible I now have the same year cars and colors as Michel

I will make a post on the parts wanted section, but I need almost all the parts and fuel injection wiring harness for the Red/Orange 73.

Any help would be appreciated.

Other option is to convert to a carburetor.

Any help there is also appreciated.

Steve

Yes Steve, I have an yellow 1313 (72) and an orange 1313 (73).
And another (green) since last Saturday.

Steve,
I was thinking you'll use the parts of the yellow to repair the red!

Everything can be found.
The only problem is space an time.
Welcome to the forum steve.It s a late welcome,i dont come so much since i got my r8g.
Switch of interest for naw.I had this r17 for 25 years.

More pictures today we made assessment for parts I need besides all the fuel injection parts.

Will need vront brake calipers and front suspension.

Here are some pictures.

looks very very great! seats are in an impressing shape...

The front seats are very clean.
Did you wash it ?

And witch beautiful register plate.

I have been slowly cleaning the car. We have a product in the US called "Simple Green"

It is a non harmful cleaner used in Hospitals and cleans really well.

I have also cleaned the carpets and I will have a picture of them soon,

Soon we expect another 20cm of snow so this will slow my progress

Thank you all for the kind words.

Steve

Steve je suis de l'Australie. J'ai été sur cela et d'autres sites français depuis quelques années. J'utilise Google traduisent et traduisent mon message anglais en français. Alors j'ai mis aussi la version anglaise. La raison consiste en ce que dès que j'ai mis juste la version française. Il a été involontairement traduit en une chose insultant. Si tous les deux sont là alors au moins quelqu'un peut corriger ce que vous dites en français, pour qu'il ne soit pas mal compris. Aussi j'ai constaté que le travail de phrases court le mieux dans Google traduit. J'espère ce que j'ai dit peut être utile.

Vous avez des voitures agréables, une bonne chance avec les parties, c'est difficile loin de la France avec Renaults, mais ces jours-ci avec Internet tellement plus facile qu'auparavant.

Steve I am from Australia. I have been on this and other French sites for some years. I use Google translate and translate my English message into French. Then I also put the English version. The reason is that once I just put the French version. It was unintentionally translated into some thing insulting. If both are there then at least some one can correct what you say in French, so that it will not be misunderstood. Also I have found short sentences work best in Google translate. I hope what I have said may be of assistance.

You have nice cars, good luck with parts, it is difficult away from France with Renaults but these days with internet so much easier than before.

Merci beaucoup pour les bons conseils. Je faire mes messages dans les deux langues à l'avenir. Je suis sûr que quelque chose ne s'est pas traduit la façon dont je voulais dire :-)
Steve

Thank you very much for the good advice. I make my posts in both languages ​​in the future. I'm sure something has not translated the way I meant :-)
Steve

Hi all,

I have started the exterior clean up. I am so surprised how nice it has started to shine.

Here is a sneak preview.

The silver lines are the reflection in the paint from the metal on the garage walls.

This is as new!

In France, I don't know if there is still a gordini as beautiful as yours that has not been restaurated. It's like trying to find an unicorn... very impressing indeed.

Good news Steve. A very nice R17.
I hope soon a good Injection assembly !
