Popular Post Barrykearley 6,979 Posted January 12 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12 I need some concrete blocks to lift the tub off - and I just ain’t got none - should be passing a merchants tomorrow. in the mean time - the interior is filthy - so - kitchen sink time it is. all the bits have grime and mould on them like this. On the whole though they just ain’t bad. So it’s worth some time and see what they come up like with some Daz, hot water and elbow grease. id say they came up looking damn fine. Going to try doing something small almost every day if I can while I can. 3 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM Escape 812 Posted January 13 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 13 Congrats Barry, looks like a great project and a very good choice! But did you have to post the link to that dealer?? Now I'm doing the man-maths and thinking how I could get there. 🙂 Filip Quote I have made many mistakes in my life. Buying a multiple Lotus is not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Barrykearley 6,979 Posted January 13 Author Report Share Posted January 13 Yup - I’ve seen that particular car in the flesh. A nice thing. I will try and get this one looking as nice - but usable is more important to me. 2 Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,979 Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 Tonight was have a wee clean up of filthy oily bits. ive now identified the brake discs and pads I need - and have ordered those along with a set of braided flexis. a quick look at the cabin wiring and my first task will be to eliminate this cluster mess of old immobiliser which I defo do not have the fobs for.

exeterjeep 219 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 So Barry how about a lotus project https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203247984820?ul_noapp=true Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,979 Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 That @exeterjeep will cost an absolute fortune to put right - I considered the silver one a couple of years ago that’s now being broken in Germany. onwards with the tvr. Lower dash panel offered up and bolted in today. The old immobilisers removed and wiring reinstated. Dash panel stripped down and Sticky carbon fibre junk removed. Panel whizzed over with the DA - just need some primer now and it’ll get a coat of black paint. Slow progress - but progress none the less Quote Only here once Link to post Share on other sites
Barrykearley 6,979 Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Sadly no progress recently - mainly due to having to stay away for work. I now have a pile of brake parts - just awaiting the rear discs which have been slow to come. Discs, pads and flexis all round - £174 !! Now that’s stunning value. I’ll see if I can figure out what bolts I need to fix the calipers to the uprights today - and get new replacements ordered. Maybe I can bolt some more bits on this week as I’m local working.
