Bit more progress, all the strength is back in the front area, still waiting on the windscreen washer bottle area repair panel to arrive but have done all the other pieces under and around it so should be simple enough when it arrives, had to let in some metal on front edge of inner wing near bumper mounts then could "persuade"  Wink the front apron to fit as best I could get it.
Bonnet[ from rob at East coast manx ] and wings line up pretty good with no real messing Cool

Last thing was to mount the Lucas indicators where I wanted them Smiley

I am staying with stock Lotus white, going to leave the chrome on as well, more of a subtle street racer than cal looker and think the stock colour works well Cool

Good Progress Richie  Grin quick question, are the front shocks Competition Engineering 90/10s ?   and are these available for link pin front ends to directly bolt on without mods / welding brackets etc?

Look forward to seeing you guys and the cars at UK Drag Day in May.

Hi Shane

yes they are, they were left over from the nitrous cab and seemed silly to not use them Smiley   I don't think they make them anymore for ball joint or link pin front ends, I haven't seen them for sale for along long time, sorry cant help anymore than that

To be honest there hasn't been much to update up till now, been wearing my fingers away sanding and filling the shell for what seems like months!!!, but today made the next step forward by getting the shell in undercoat, will need to be a little lower to put topcoat on though, was a real bitch to do the roof up that high, but it is so easy to do underneath and inside like that[ got to say thanks to Gavin Jones for the loan of the rotisserie, was perfect timing him going on holiday Wink Grin  thanks mate Cool  ]

All that work to only realise you still need to weld up the trim holes, must be gutted! Grin

Looking good, wish I had the time to work on mine.

Impressive work Richie! I'm looking at the modifications to the shell and I can spot the Zbar mounting place on the bodymount panel is gone, which I presume is for easier access to the starter motor, clutch arm etc., but I'm also wondering about the pieces of rear crossmember missing where the heater pipes would go through. Is this for clearance for the cage to tie in to the torsion housing, or some other reason?
