Lotus Elan Central

As most will know from other thread (cat c write off) i brought this car from a scrap yard 2 weeks ago not knowing what i would do keep and do up or scrap and sell parts, after stripping down on friday i have decided to do her up

Didn't see you stripping down on Friday ?

Good to see that u`r putting it back on the road, think u got yourself a good buy. Will this be ready for Donny?

I'll remind you of these words !

Seems a fairly easy fix, all bolt on stuff.

Might be worth having a word with jimbob who bought Dico`s clam and bumper

Have u had the engine running?
what about the light pods?

its all about the money, were not as rich as you lot up north, the engine is sweet first click, the drivers side pod need a little work few little cracks but apart from that there ok, just waiting for dico crash structure now .

its not as bad as it looks, you should have her back on the road soon.

i love the site of a driveway covered in tools and car bits but what do you have the saw out for?

Kid, your bonnet and lightpods look as thought they survived nicely, clamshell looks fixable and I still have a spare bumper for sale.

I have a bonnet catch and striker spare (Jimbob bought my bonnet but didn't) need them, if you need them you can have them?

Really nice to see someone putting a nice car back on the road!!

Cheers,

Phil

drivers side pod needs a little work, bonnet needs work as both top edges are broken, i might get somebody to have a look at clamshell for me

Shame your not near by or I could have poped over to sort it for you.

thanks for the offer mate, ive had a few prices for spraying so i will ask to see what it would cost to repair to buying new parts

dico and dad have been round tonite with new crash structure it fitted straight on which is good news so just waiting for clam and bumper now

Must be nearly finished by now

Expect they've had loads of parts of you Dico

I'm sure there is something we aren't being told

Some of us know
