Re: Elan +2S Restoration Project.
Hi Paul
What a great project, when do you expect it to be finished and on the road.
I was in Cameron Audi body shop about 6 weeks ago and they had a +2 bodyshell stripped down ready for painting, was that yours?

Yep, that was mine, they have got a very good reputation for painting, so we decided to try it with them, after the fiasco with the last bunch!bingoking wrote:Hi Paul

Re: Elan +2S Restoration Project.
How close are you to completing the car?
Re: Elan +2S Restoration Project.
Hopefully about three weeks, just waiting to get it back from the trimmers!
Looking forward to it, but not looking forward to the old fashioned need to run a new engine in!!

Said beast is getting MOT'd tomorrow, so hope fully near the end of its 4 year restoration!!!
I hope I am going to like it after all that time ( and money, but don't tell Verona!)
