Hi Dave

Well, as you know she love the Elan but it took some time to agreed the insulance becase of her age ! (1.1K a year ), So it cost me a lot this year !
The last week was Espirt needed MOT (replaced rear dampers etc..)

Any way the car running fine and still cosmetic some issue !

Buy the way, Does any one useing "Snap off" steering ?

Looking good Yasou. Don't be afraid to drop in more often, you'll find we're generally more sophisticated and refined than the LEF crowd. :-D

Welcome to LEC and I hope you enjoy your Elan. I like the carbon Fibre inserts in the doors and that's an interesting steering wheel.

Changed wishbones done !
also replaced brake pipe and the brake master cylinder !
Replaceing the Master cylinder was not easy job becase there are almost no space (need small hand) !


The color code Grey-blue ?
the Elan has been ownd by elan1 few years ago !

Next issue will be 4 new tires and the door seals......
