Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2016 1:33 pmThanks for the compliments!
I have not installed the hood/bonnet yet. I know there will be some fiddling going on in the engine bay.
Yes this car came from Greenville south Carolina.
The paint is a modern Lotus Monaco white. Niice color. Not super bright but it still really turns heads.
Once I get all the little bugs sorted and everything is broken in, I will be selling the car. I do have a local car club buddy who is interested.....

Did you do a full restoration this time or something less?

Re: Gas N' Go
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2016 12:30 pmTo lotocone - Yes this was another full restoration. My 8th one.The cars I buy for my project usually do not have any directly reusable components. Everything has to come apart and be rebuilt or replaced.
Thanks,
Bob
