Hello I am new here but my lotus isn't.
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2016 11:30 am
My lotus +2S130 is now in thousands of bits and I am thinking of having the paintwork and as much of the rest that I cannot do done by Spyder. Any advice as to how to go about this would be appreciated now I've got it off its chassis, taken the paint, the screens the chrome work, the wiring, the dash, the heater, the interior , the tank all off and out. The sight of all of it and the experience of in some places 16 layers of paint, all the previous work good and bad exposed has increased my confusion about what next.
I have had the chrome done and now could attempt the doors reassembly if I can remember how and get over nearly severing my fingers on that Spring lever contraption. Also I need to clean the years of crap off the chassis. It's a replacement I had done in the late 80s (!) I hope it's not time for another.
I've emailed Sean at Spyder about it all as it was time to face reality - at my level of expertise and rate of work It would never be done I clearly need help. How I wish my coffers were bottomless. They aren't , but I'm hoping to come to some arrangement .
Any advice or encouragement on fund raising or jobs to do to lower the price of commercial help would be greatly
appreciated
Regards Jim.
