I can't believe the difference in the car, can't wait to get out in it again! The kids at school are desperate to see it again too! :lol:

Looks great Alan, but FFS do not go and sell it as you did before after putting all that work into it.

This ones a keeper, just suites me down to the ground. I really didn't want to be re building another car though, i'm far too busy but the car was at the right price (i guess) where I could get it to a good standard and still get my money back. We'll see.

I just wish it was on the road, every 2nd day i get facebook pics of Lotus's/Caterhams out in the sunshine....barsteward :D

Looking good. I have a few bits which weren't required at my build that might be of use to you. I'll drop you a note when I get home.

Bloody hell Alan. How good is your work?

Everything that you've done and posted about ends up looking to have the quality that a factory can only dream of...
'99 - '03 Titanium S1 111S.
'03 - '10 Starlight Black S2 111S
'11 - '17 S2 135R
'17 - '19 S2 Exige S+
'23 - ?? Evora

Thanks everyone :thumbsup

I'll be working on it all week, as I have no exams at the moment. So will post up regular progress reports.

Oh dear ...... :D

All back together now, not as bad as I first thought but very time consuming.

No play in box and all new oil seals, it was P*SSING out of everywhere before. At this rate I will have it running by Sunday.
