S1 Elise Motorsport replica project

[philthy]

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?

[j2 lot]

Absolutely stunning

[Victor Meldrew]

What is that white thing sitting near where the ventilation trunking normally sits? Have you found an alternative fan unit to the factory fit?

[stratosboy]

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?

[stratosboy]

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.

[stratosboy]

as promised, some pics outside with all panels bolted on, will all be coming off again though for further work on engine/electrics

Looking very nice.

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.

[stratosboy]

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.

Have a look on Merlin Motorsport site for:

[stratosboy]
