Default Finished my Lotus!!

Finally finished the car! took me ages with getting all the parts but now their on and the car looks stunning!!! (well IMO anyway).
Took it out today for a quick 5 min round the block, but ended up spending half the day driving through crountry roads .
The car is amazing to drive and the handling is just . only stopped to take a couple pics of the car and then went off for another long drive . Its so addictive .
will take some more pics later on in the weekend












and a pic of how i bought it



Also if someone can do me sig it would be really appreciated, as it turns out shit when i do it.

Thanks

Shamz

Well something that stands out, i like the first one you did but the Shamz lotus bit wasnt right. would like a pic of it with just Shamz on it. it would be great if someone could have two pics in one sig and maybe have Shamz over it.

Cheers

It will need a bit of resizing to fit the regs here but you get the idea..

well ive spent a few notes on it to get it back in mint condition as all the parts are from Lotus dealers. But unfortunetly (for me) it will be up for sale in the middle of summer, and it can be yours for Ł19,000 which is a bargain. so if anyone interested in the car please pm me. also thanks for the comments

Had it been in an accident beforehand or something, how did you get it in that state?

Is this the project that you've been working on and will do 1/4's in 12's or something?

Top car tho mate, looks hard as nails!

Yes mate i bought it damaged and plan to sell it in the summer to make some money on it. it is CAT D recorded hence the cheap price im putting it up for.

No mate this aint my project car, thats just sitting in my back garden. i plan to do more elises and vx220's, as it should make me some money. ive also got a VX220 turbo which is damaged and i plan to have that repaired in about two weeks (which will be up for sale). After that i plan to finish the project car.

Thanks
