Hi All,
My name is Jeff and over the years I have built many things, latterly I have built several Westfields. Having got older and wet too many times I sold my road car and now just have my track car, which can be used on the road if you like your spine crushed and fillings falling out.
I am seriously considering either buying an Elan +2, having seen a good example and there is also a convertible that looks fine. However I am being drawn towards building a Zetec engine Spyder chassied car.
So a few questions, does anyone know of a complete shell, ie everything bar the chassis.
What to look for when buying one, is there steel in the bodyshell anywhere to be warey of?
Any recommended reading?
Any recommended specialists for spares etc.
I work for a company who distributes car parts to motor factors across the Uk so many parts I can get but special Lotus only is a no no.
Thanks in advance
Jeff
