If it is a t belt. Count on the valves being bent and the idler pulley seized. Never saw one that did not suffer all 3. 
   Pulley seizes
   Belt snaps
   Valves bend. 

I came real close to buying one of the was it GTR? Model converts a couple of years ago. Those got a 2.0L and ran like the Alliances should have all along! It ran and drove, looked decent. $300. Needed TLC and paint.

Subject: [AMC-list] Thinking of buying an '87 Renault Alliance convertible

Hi, Guys:

I'm just about 95% sure that I'm going to buy a Renault Alliance convertible this weekend.  The car is really nice, has 114,000 miles but does not run - I suspect a broken timing belt, but it doesn't sound like the valve stems are messed up.   I'll make the final decision this weekend.  Unfortunately, the car has been sitting for 3 years and now I have to drain the tank and stuff if I get it.

ANYWAY, I was wasting time at work and found this video of Renaults being built at the Kenosha factory.  There's some nice footage of how the tops are cut off of Alliances and then the bodies reinforced to make the convertibles.  It looks like the same guy who posted this video has more Alliance footage - I'll watch it tonight at home.
