We can see that passenger door card is missing - what else needs doing?
Presumably you do have a bonnet?

[wee heavy]

Hello, Yes I have a bonnet and planning to take daylight photos probably tomorrow once the gales have passed showing the areas outlined in the last paragraph.The following are work I had lined up;
Check/repair n/s window motor as it is a bit slow,I have a newly trimmed to door card to refit.
New wiper blades required,fit new bonnet runners(the shiny metal strips),lubricate/replace steering column top bush as squeaks,adjust handbrake as new pads fitted also the new EBC discs/pads need bedded in

The car will come with the following, 4 elan sprint wheels, (will need refurb+new tyres),a Lionel Roberts wheel spinner removal tool,a Britool reversible torque wrench,Elan W/shop manual ,Brian Buckland manual and a manual I made up of the engine spec and related parts. Also anything else that could be useful.

Regarding the body work the car has been resprayed well before my ownership and has a few cosmetic areas that could do with painting. The drivers door window frame is not a good fit,a repair or a s/hand frame would sort this and the last item is the headlining.This was damaged and I fitted a repair section to the front part which is functional but not to attractive.
