Do i have a problem?

Postby esprit888 » Fri 11.09.2020, 19:10

Apparently i do! according to the wife i need counselling, and i'm beginning to think shes right. Latest acquisition is a very rare (1 of 1) 92 Canadian Elan that has dealer installed upgraded (?) interior. Its the only silver 92 imported into Canada new (only four 92's in total were Canadian) It has 23,000kms (or 14,000 miles) and needs a lot of love due to an accident back in 94/95 that was very poorly repaired. I'm in two minds what to do with her (actually three) Sell her to someone who will give her the time she needs, break her (i know i know, i'm horrified at the thought, but counselling is expensive :lol: ) The third is to do a total nut and bolt restoration, full body off, and lose a bunch of money (see note re: counselling :roll:, its something I'm good at) The Esprit needs engine work so i really don't have the space to take on both, but for now its nice to look at all three family members together.

She looks too good to break - A better option would be to do a rolling restoration, that way you don't get stuck with a car that doesn't go, a pile of bits and and a draw on your time.
