Looks like a nice rebuild project at the rate I am going you will get it on the road before I get my Plus 2 finshed. An Elan and Plus 2 and a more modern Lotus make a nice set for any garage but then I am biased :lol:

cheers

A lot of the paint is stripped off, you have a head start! Good luck and keep everyone updated. This is a great forum to help you out.

Nice looking project with all the right bits, even the 'correct' Consul screen surround - I hope you can save the screen rubber as those broad chrome trims look the biz. A Spyder chassis as well.

My car (same year and spec) was much worse than that but came together nicely - lots of work as has been said but very worthwhile and, provided you can stick the course, hugely satisfying.

Be patient and treat each component as a separate project - it helps with motivation.

Keep us posted - I am sure you will have lots of questions :D
