Popular Post SamIAm Posted April 27, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 It has been a few years since I was on the forum, got side-tracked when "the powers that be" in my life suggested her little Elan should come before the Elite. Now done we are back at the rebuild. Painting is done, the engine is almost ready for the test stand, presently rebuilding the Weber DCOE45,s that came in the box with the rest of the parts. The inside of the car needs a complete go-over so lots of work left. I am encouraged by many of the write-ups on the forum so will keep at it. best regards to all forum members Graeme 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose Cannon Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Nice. Is that an original (Altair?) green or did you just like the colour? Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilmagnet477 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Drool drool - loving that colour. Sensible chap - it is ALL about keeping the boss happy! Well done, keep it up Is that the makings of an XK in the background? Quote Is the price for that bit in Yen or £? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamIAm Posted April 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 The original colour was a dark maroon, a real period colour but I couldn't get excited about it. then I saw Altair green on an Elite on the forum and loved it. so here we are. The car in the background is a Triumph TR2, a friends car undergoing a major rust repair restoration. My shop has about 15 lbc's. Mine and friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
