hi everybody !

i've not post yet because of health problem and i change job. so now let's go on the 319 !

during the month of february, i've bought à Renault estafette from 1967 because i really regret to sell my estafette to buy the 319.

this was how i found it, at the same place since 10 years :

this is how she is 2 weeks later, i fastely repainted some parts of the estafette (bumper, roof, etc ...) and polish the body :
