Gold lettering/stripes on a black car?  Looks pretty good to me!<br>

[Paul.P]

Well Blacky's finally back from the bodyshop, excellant job done by TBR in Newcastle ( recommended for you northeners ), havn't shown the interior cause its in a mess & that & the drivers door are the next things to be sorted, here's couple of pics of finished paint job <br>

[Sy V]

Paul<br><br>That looks fanf*ckin'tastic.  I'm dead chuffed for you.  I know the heartache that this project has given you.  Well done mate, keep it up.<br><br>Now get yourself some clear front and side indicator lenses and she'll look bloody orgasmic.

[Paul.P]

Thanks Sy, obviously those wheels aint stopping on & she's gotta be re-registered, but at least the underneath & outer skin are like new now, so like i said, the drivers door has no workings in ( only the latch mechanism & glass ) so thats my 1st priority, to get that fitted & working properly, then the interior needs to be done from scratch, got all the bits, just need the time & patience, whilst all this is happening, the decal firm will be designing the JPS decals. This won't be happening in a hurry, but i will keep you all posted every step of the way.

[Paul.P]

Lotus definitely doing the interior !, can't make my mind up about the wheels, i like the S2 wheels, but the federals are more retro, which is what the car is all about after all ?. Perhaps will see what any perspective buyer wants on whitey & that might make my mind up for me. If anybody's got anymore thoughts on these wheels your views are most welcome ?

[Costas]

No No NOOOOOOo No federal wheels pleaaaaaaaaaaase!<br><br><br><br>Excellent work Paul, I envy you!

[cjay]

Looks great Paul  ;D  How about gold plated S2 wheels... BLING!<br><br>cjay

[Paul.P]

Cjay, whatever wheels i end up having will be painted gold to match the decal colour. Gold plated !......some of you peeps obviously have lot more money than me ?<br><br>Costas, i agree with you, but everbody else i talk to doesn't ?????

[schurch]

It looks fantastic paul!<br><br>Can I ask how much the paintjob cost you at TBR?

[Paul.P]

You can ask, but ive given my word thats its between Paul ( the owner ) & me, besides, ive done him a few favours as well. All i can say is they do an excellent job & if you want a quote off them, give them a ring 01914826662, mob 07850621729, theve done 4 or 5 elans now, so should be able to give you a good idea over the phone.

[Paul.P]

Just a little update, wheels have been painted ( will take pics ), but here are the new wheel centres, drivers door is being completely rebuilt inside, & you are all right, its a pain in the butt job. Hopefully she will be on the road by end of August ?

Nice wheel centers and plates, where did u get u`r wheel centers? i`m after the black/silver style standard badge

Hows the graphics going for the balck beast?

[nitroman]

Not to steal your glory... hey, I'm way over here on the other side of the PLANET after all, so give me a break mate! But if you could privately let me know where I could get some of those wheel centers I would be in your debt, & I promise not to tell anyone the source or to even post any pictures. PLUS, I'LL THROW IN A REAR-BUMPER POLISHED STAINLESS BOLT-KIT GRATIS, FOR WHEN YOU GET YOUR RE-SPRAY... all for you simply telling me where I can pick up a set! Such a deal!

Tsk, tsk, Nitro. You know that stainless bolt kit will have to be painted gold or gold plated. Can't have a JPS showing any silver, after all!

[Paul.P]

Well i'm sorry to dissapoint you boy's, but they are actually standard S2 wheel centres with decals stuck on them, done professionaly of course. The actual design was taken off a JPS gearknob that will be fitted shortly. Nitroman, there must be someone local to you that can do this, i just went to a company that do car graphics, but if you get stuck & want to send me your wheel centres, i would gladly get them done for you, however, your wheel centres need to be in good condition.

[Monty]

[Gary]

think you should have had a job lot of the wheel centres done as I'm sure you could have sold them (yep I'll have some).

Of course you can only use that plate on an S2 in the uk...

[Paul.P]

Good job it is an S2 then Gary !
