Hi Everyone,

Well, slowly building on bits for the car.

I now have.....

Steering column (Few bits to add too still)
Body outer vents
Hand brake
Hand brake cable
Hand brake actuating rods
Steering column (Few bits to add still)
2 x Chrome door frames (Coming soon)
2 x Window motors (Coming soon)
4 speed Lotus Elan Gearbox (Coming soon)
Started restoring and will be painting up new etc.

Along long way to go yet obviously, but hey a very good start!

Dave. :D

Hi

Thats certainly a start. I guess by doing it this way you can more easily deal with and restore (where necessary) each part as it comes in. I just have seemingly endless boxes of parts.

You have the body and chassis already yes?

All the best

Berni
