Thanks a lot to Colin Ginn for having the afternoon off from his busy workshop and collecting the car with me,then delivering it 60 miles away to my workshop.
Colin has original new front wings and complete front panel for the car for me.
I will be stripping the rest of the car as soon as I get time,Then my favourite job of scraping off underseal from the under side.
Then its back to Clacton to Colins workshop for blasting and he is paneling this one up for me.One because I will never get round to it and two,he is the master of the mk1 Lotus.
Yeah, same here, the Lotus should soon be one of the very best examples anywhere in the world. Here's wishing you success, I have a feeling that the restored car will - if it's possible - be even better than the Capri.

- collecting the car, good one, half a car at best
Oh boy, this is going to be some restoration and like everyone else I can't wait to see it

I have 95% of the parts with the car and all the new genuine panels to put it right.
Really looking forward to it.
Cheers Paul
Like the rest of em I'm looking forward to seeing this move along, I like a nice rust busting session and from the look of your previous postings you'll do her proud.
