Hi Steve

It's 15F degrees outside here this morning, not a lot that is going to happen at least for another month and a half.
When the weather does improve there will be a new topic created call Sows two. The original Ugly Flaired Elan Coupe (36/6292) is going to be the subject, there is also 26/4045 that needs paint and the interior done (did I say interior?). Before that all happens though, 26/4020 needs to run and Tingles body needs an engine built up (maybe, hibernation is still an option). So I guess the plate has some meat on it, I would like to get some metal work done on the LoCort also but thats best not discussed on this forum or this topic will slide off into the abyss of the nether reaches of this flat earth.

Just want to enjoy driving it and not worry about the looks or how much oil it leaks etc. In 2014 I'll do some projects on it.

I am determined to sell some of my toys, any one want a 205gti or two. And just end up with my ?lan and my escort and use them both a lot more.
Happy new year from a very wet west Wales.

Finish the fiddley things overlooked on my S4, and make a major dent in the Mk1 Escort body fab.
I need help on the MK1 and looking for someone in the US with Gp2/4 fabrication experience.

Happy new year!

Progress the restoration of #5042 - the year will probably be spent learning glassfibre work and getting around to returning the body to narrow S3 arches. Have got
the arches from Miles Wilkens, so now only remains the hard work part
Happy New Year from rainy Denmark.

I will let you know at the end of 2013 --at my age I dont even buy green bananas let alone plan that far ahead BUT BEING SOME WHAT PERFECT it is always so difficult to improve ones self with silly resolutions -ed

[Galwaylotus]

... get my Elan off the jackstands (where it's been since July) and onto fresh tyres (that I ordered in June)!!!
I'll be installing urethane damper mounting bushes on the front, my rebuilt front calipers and Keith Franck's Weber bits. Meanwhile, the weather is too miserable to do anything but wait fora few weeks.

Starting today I am going to do something on my project car (or project car related), no matter how small, in order to get it finished and out on the track this year. I liken it to how to eat an elephant......one spoonful at a time

First thing is to tidy up and put eveything back where it should be so it can be found when needed. Then get the parts to repair the manual milling machine. I also need to get someone to sort out the software communication issues on the CNC mill. Anyone in the SE England area know someone familiar with Mach3 CNC software?

Remove the incorrect door seals and replace with correct ones once it warms up enough to use adhesive. Shouldn't take more than numerous hours to reset the door gaps
