Catching Up- Part 1

March 30, 2015

It’s not as if I have been doing nothing on the Elva for the past year, it’s just been so slow that I really hadn’t thought of it as being much change.  Now that I look at it, though, it is a lot of small jobs that have added up to a lot of progress.

Here, I am now posting a lot of what has been done to fix the fiberglass, the rear deck, the doors, sills and the front end.  If there are questions, I will make comments, but here they are without additional text for each one.  Most should be self-explanatory.

Life Gets in the Way

March 27, 2015

Well, I got side-tracked by Life getting in my way.  A year ago last Fall, my dear Mini Cooper died, or at least it needed more than a little bit of work. It needed a new transmission because in their infinite wisdom, BMW decided not to make the parts available to fix the transmission, they will only sell a new transmission for $4500. With 130,000 miles on it, my wife and I decided it was time to let it go, so I sold it. In that same decision to let the Mini go, we decided to put the time and effort into the Lotus Plus 2, so in the last year most of my time was spent2005-01-05 16.21.33 in that direction.
