Thank you Softlips,
Hardtop is now finished after needing some additional strengthening ribs bonded to underside of roof to firm it all up.
re painted and ready for home - I'll post another when I've fitted the rear lexicon screen and fitted on car.

Old Lotus don't die they get fixed and if it cannot be fixed with a BIG hammer then you have an electrical problem.

Hi Dave,

It is beginning to come together nicely then :up I bet you are getting a bit excited ;)

When does the first fire up take place then, can you see that happening soon ?

Looking forward to seeing it for real sometime.
