Lotus Elan Central

evening chaps

jings its been a while since i was on here!

so i was at maw and paws hoose down in sunny bishopton and i was fumbling about in their garage. f**k me sideways if i didnt find a dusty old elan under a big pile of shite!
long story short shes not turned a wheel since 2008 and the last time i turned her over (2010 i think?) she went on fire a bit. im planning on getting her running again this summer with the help of my mate tommy and his new enterprise Bay Autos in Glasgow. https://www.facebook.com/Bay-Autos-5519 ... 6/?fref=ts


tommy is a top lad and a good mechanic even though he is more ginger than my car. im going to give tommy my log in and password for this site so please treat him as you would me

she will need some parts to see the road again so all help would be appreciated, thanks guys

I thought it was under a shag pile.

Hi there Stevo,

Is your car the Metallic Orange one, if so may I just say what a great colour that is for the Elan, good luck with getting it back in shape and look forward to seeing it back on the road turning heads sooner rather than later

Stevo's back. Lock up your daughters

I've got a bit of wood if you need to prop up the drivers side door

He told me the 4x2 had been replaced with gaffer tape on FaecesByuk. Streamlining and added lightness.

He lied...

Look at the state of the front disc and caliper

Almost as Tango orange as the rest of the car

It'll stop it rolling off the back of the lorry when the towing eye shears.

As will the rear...

No problems with rear braking efficiency come MOT time then

Are you boys having fun?
And rightly so. I hang my head in shame.

Welcome back, Stevo.
Feel the lurve!

Welcome back.

Ignore the barracking.

Too right. Haven't had so much fun since Scott came out the closet

Yes, welcome back. I still have your stiffy tucked away under my bonnet - still going strong after all those years.

Cheers, I missed you guys. I heard Donington was shite since I left the fold.
We need to get a meet sorted once my girl is roaring again

Probably true but at least it gave our livers a chance to recover

That's rich from the man how supplied the breakfast whisky.
