    Thanks for the info ghe67, what was the book you were refering to? I just searched amazon for Mike Wilkins and I got nothing on cars or bodywork? I would be interested in finding good books on fiberglass body work.

    Before getting bodywork ready for a re-spray I was wondering if it is best to use normal car body fillers or should I use some thing specially made for fiberglass? For larger chip I guess I should use fiberglass? Any info would be most welcomed Buddsy

    Were the bumpers ever factory colour coded on the G cars? if so when did this come in? Was it an option. Some cars I have seen have look to be on original paintwork have coloured bumpers?

    Talon, New thread...might need a new forum!! Andy, yes the interior didnt look too bad in the pics, worse in real life but if you swint it looks a whole lot better . Same goes for the body work. Maybe instead of resoring the car I should just learn more photoshop techniques and do it that way? My hands will keep much cleaner

    I went to look at a G car for sale yesterday but one thing I noticed was the steering column went into the dash at a slight angle towards the middle and so the steering wheel was slightly angled too? Is this normal? Thanks in advance to you G car owners Buddsy

    Simon, Ive seen something on this somewhere but cant find it!! doh. Im sure I read an article that Lotus had found most people had their wastegate valves set up wrong or too much play/wear etc. I think it was the wastegate valve but could be mistaken. The article went on to show how you can use a hand pump & pressure gauge to check the valve only releases the excess pressure when over the correct set psi, I think 8.5. I could be talking b******ks but Im sure I didnt dream it and read something along those lines. Maybe Brian would be the man to ask at the next meeting. Hope I havent

    Simon you know I love your car with black bumpers, I think the argument comes down to are you after a modern looking car or a classic? The reason I love the G cars is for their exotic styling and bold shape so I personally love the black contrast. I have been impressed with some of the body coloured bumpers in this thread Simon350s especially but for me it makes them look a much more modern car. So I think it

    Hi people had an idea, not sure if it should be on a new thread so apologies in advance if it is? I was in Wymondham this morning and saw 3 Esprits all S cars one black G reg, one Cadburys chocolate bar Blue V8 P reg and a white S4. Two parked on Church Street the white one parked around the corner. I guess these are local owners who may not have found our club...yet. What if we got some business cards printed so if we saw a car or owner we could leave it with them/ on widow screen. It could have web address also a phone No. to one of us (maybe Simon as he
