Projects - Lotus Elite

This Lotus Elite was received with a lot of praise at the Peoria Wheel O'Time Museum.

The Lotus Elite is one of the most elegant little sports cars ever created. This one belongs to a repeat customer who had the engine rebuilt a while ago by expert Bill Hutton. The body was gone over years ago in Hong Kong.

Apart from some minor mechanical problems, we were asked to make the body look new and put a new wiring harness in. After stripping the glass fiber car – there is no metal chassis, the suspension in bolted on to the polyester – the body was sent to the body shop. Now that the paint job is done, we started to fit the new wiring harness, rebuild the brakes and are now ready to put the engine back into the body.
