Restoration Completed-(Almost)
Posted: Sun Jun 06, 2010 11:14 am
Hi all,
I thought I would post these photos to share the completion of my Elan after 7 years of putting it together since the body was restored and completed by option 1 in 2005.
I am in the procss of 'fettling' all bits and bobs and getting the engine to run smoothly - which is almost there.
If anyone has any questions or queries - feel free to ask and looking forward to getting it out this summer as it seems too good to sit in the garage hoping for the elusiv drive
Hope this gives inspiration to those plugging away at their 'restos', and as I purchased this car as a stripped pile of bits -no chassis- it has been a fun and worthwhile cause- in terms of acheiving this end result- very satisfying.
btw there does not seem to b many BRG elans out there - any reason?????? as i think the colour suits the car well.
Cheers
