]]]Hi,
I've moved this from the for sale/wanted section:
recently bought this as an unfinished project and started to prepare body shell, which is a new moulding (sorry don't know where it came from)

Hiya Doug,
Oh...there's a lot with this elan that will upset the purists!! ...ask me if I care?
It will be how I build it and it will be different.
I'll post more as I go on, still messing with doors to get good fit! - these take a while don't they?
Best wishes
Dave

Good luck with the doors they are

Ho ho, I am liking it more by the minute Dave
By the way have you decided on body colour yet ?
I know you don't live over Yorkshire way but you must come and see us at one of our monthly meetings, next year perhaps ?
There will be plenty of bearded chaps wanting to nosey in the engine bay
Keep up the good work, oh I see you tested the water on lotuselan.net about the dash.
There are plenty of folk on there who will appreciate your car though.
Doug
P.S I see you are stocked up with fruit to spend some time in the garage.

Thanks Doug,
I'll definately come over to one of your meets, hoping to be all done by next year,
I'll bring my mate with his 3000 Austin Healy
Keep in touch and let me know when and where.
It's going to be lotus yellow over white - sprint colours.
Should have taken the pics next to the beer fridge, not the fruit bowl!!
more soon,,,
Dave
