Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
here we are, just got some pics from my paint man, panels looking good...
Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
Just seen this (I don't come on here very often) looking good so far, I think I must have taken longer than anyone in history just to fit the bodywork on mine.
Looking forward to seeing all the bodywork fitted to the car.

Oh Dan, I think I might contest you about this, I've been fettling my bodywork for about 18 months, can you beat that?
Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

To be fair though I did end up making my own moulds etc in the process

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
so, while the other panels are being painted, it's time to sort out rear bulkhead, engine out again!
this will be bonded and riveted in place then covered with heat reflective film on engine side and sound deadening in cabin side.
