S3 Elan Coupe
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 2:56 am
In September 2010 I purchased a 1966 Elan Coupe body and a collection of bits and pieces, brakes, suspension components, close ratio gear box, side and rear windows.
I have restored the components and assembled a new chassis and running gear.
I am restoring/assembling an 1800 Brian Hart Dry sump motor, this was my "dry build" to check the fit under the bonnet.
The body has taken almost a year to strip, remove all layers of paint and prepare for paint
I sent the prepared body to my local painter who has painted several British classics for me and I'm now starting the final assembly.
