Nearly there and looking good. Love the colour but the wheels aren’t my cup of tea, suppose they are more function over form.
What are you doing about wheel arch liners?

What is that white thing sitting near where the ventilation trunking normally sits? Have you found an alternative fan unit to the factory fit?
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

yes it’s just a small blower fan, I’ve removed the horrid 1960’s style heater unit. Quite a few elise owners use these, supposed to give good de-misting

Desperately need more information on that. My fan housing is in bits. Does it still have a heater?

no, but there will be so much heat around front & rear of car, it will be blowing warm air onto screen in no time.
wont need a heater in car, it wont be used in winter. - I still have my old heater unit if you'd like it? - I wont use it. Just pay me for postage, it does need renovating though - resistors are furbared and there is some rust.

Awesome

I could collect it, any excuse for a drive and the chance to see the car in the flesh... too good an opportunity to miss. :thumbsup

You're very welcome to come and collect Joh, but I live in Warrington, Cheshire.
I can pack it up and send to you if easier, - let me know.
