chris_h Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Great, have you managed to get all the bits yet? When my dad did the the rebuild of his +2 elan a few years back it was little clips and things that he found hard to find.
stratosboy Posted September 19, 2013 Author Posted September 19, 2013 Hi Chris, got most bits, as it was an unfinished project when I bought it, but there will be loads of little things I will have to find, not too concerned about originality obviously, so will find stuff. next job is putting wiring loom into painted shell when it comes back. I have an S2 exige too
DeanB Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Wow that looks great. You will keep us posted won't you? I would love to see it as it comes together.

Dr H Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Very nice! Make your pictures bigger please.....
Phil S1 Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Looks to be a lovely job, keep us updated. I must admit to feeling somewhat envious of your amount of garage space. Please tell me...you haven't got a Stratos too have you? ;-)
stratosboy Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Dr. H - will try to Phil S1 - Not any more...I did have, although it was a replica, photo's below. sold it last year to fund Elan project...I just got fed up with it, built it from scratch since 1988 - time for a new challenge. It still looks good though. Perhaps I should change my username!!
Dr H Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I love the Stratos! I want a lime green one with a red interior just like the (real) one I used to walk past on the way to college in the mid 80s. What engine did it have?
stratosboy Posted November 13, 2013 Author Posted November 13, 2013 Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6 -12v from the 164 - it was a lovely engine.
Phil S1 Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Wow, always loved the look of the Stratos, ever since childhood. I often think though that it's probably one of those cars that once driven would maybe not live up to your expectations.....I'd be willing to give it a try though all the same
