looks like a huge amount of work and probably way more that most would take on.. It look pretty rotten everywhere you can see....
Is this pretty normal for the state of these cars or is there some kind of sentimental reason for repairing this particular one.. Guess they are not so common anymore so you have to restore what you can get hold of..
Look forward to seeing progress on this..
I would say around 300 hours to panel this car up.
2 door GTs are now rare cars even more so than a mk1 lotus.
The condition of this one is about what to expect from a restoration project.
Rust in all the usual areas.
My lotus was about the same.
