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.

Steve,

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

by **stevieshag** » Fri 02.02.2007, 17:09

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

Even if the chassis aren`t bent it`ll cost a few grand to fix, not worth it IMO. :roll:

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....

ok update on miss piggy,

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.
