Lotus Elan Central

I have just bought another Elan, not sure if she is good enough for a repair job, or if she will help to keep kermit on the road for a few more years. Either way i am pleased with my purchase. Will you keep you informed on the decision. Will try & post some picks.

cool, put them in the garage together and see if they can make some hard-to-find parts

well if we want to see what parts they can come up with, i will have to call her miss piggy.. hope to have a closer look today.
thanx for ya reply doug.

was it the red one of flea bay?

Ah, so she's Collapso then?

Don't for get the grey bits!

oh yeah the collspao red one off ebay..

stevie, what year

she is on a H plate, will need a chassis i think if i go ahead with a rebuild.

thats worse case scenario..

few pics of miss piggy

Steve,

If you decide against the re-build, and break her up for bits, Can I get in the queue for the seats

yeah sure you can have 1st refusal.. (if i break)

now you've done it, Stevie -- you've just opened the flood gates !!

(the vultures are always circling)

Even if the chassis aren`t bent it`ll cost a few grand to fix, not worth it IMO. unless u can get second hand parts

I'm in LOVE with the interior scheme. Probably because mine looks similar. On a serious note if it were me... I'd rebuild her. Find a wrecker that has one that took it in the rear (preferably of same colour) and go to town. Better yet doesn't Monty have one that got knackered up? I see a project in your future....

please alert me somebody if this is one of the episodes from the Girls Gone Wild guy so I know to go buy it!

ok update on miss piggy,
i have taken the clam shell off & cant see any creases in the chassis only on the external bolt on parts, which looks like a result, i have purchased another elan No3 which it looks like i will break, i will post more details when i pick it up in 2 weeks time. front end smash again.
I am in the process of locating parts which i need to repair, so if you have anything which might be of interest please PM me.
i know ya all like pics to posted 3 more.

stevie,
