Hello...!

[adster]

Hello everyone,
A couple of weeks ago i purchased my first Lotus Elan, after looking at a few cars for sale i finally opted for the one i now have.
Its a 1990 one in red, needs a few bits and pieces sorting but its a generally tidy car! well im pleased with it so far!
Just need to take it for a mot and fingers crossed i'll be on the road in it...
I've always been into classic minis but just fancied something a little different, just hope i enjoy owning it as much as i like my minis!
So far i have changed the stereo system, new head unit and 4 new speakers as the old ones had slightly deterioated...fitted a new window motor and regulator as the old one was knackered.
Next on the list is to sort out a blow in the exhaust and eventually fit a stainless system and a front wheel bearing thats a little worn.
I'm sure i'll be asking lots of questions as i work my way through the car, but hopefully it will be a gvood little runner and not give me too many problems?

Congratulations on your Elan acquisition and welcome to LEC! Those are impressive fixes for just two weeks into ownership (coming from someone who can spend well over two weeks just contemplating a fix )

Hello & Welcome

Sounds like your good with hands, shouldn't be too much the Elan will throw at you that you won't be able to sort.

Good Luck and Happy Motoring!!

I'm in Southend in essex, anyone else local to me?
I'm pretty happy to give most mechanical things a go, been cleaning the rear lower arms up today! They are looking nice and solid, which is a relief!

Steve A is somewhere in mid-south Essex.

Gazza is in Romford & I believe Paul69 is not too far away from there.
Look out for a meet at the Hare in Roxwell, Chelmsford.
