russelld Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Well done Jonny Bloody amazing what you have achieved with that old shed ( soz Mark ) Can I suggest you hold an open day where you provide coffee and bacon cobs so we can all come and have a nosey, in return we'll all dribble on your garage floor
jonnyfox Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 Ha ha Russ, you'll have to come to me as Leigh says. No but hopefully in July at LiTP, I'd love to show everyone Check this lot out, Lol and that's not all of it I've kept all the original parts I'd need to put the car back to completely stock, which it's not far off to be honest. Well all but the AC, that was beyond saving.
Steve J Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Fabulous work there Jonny. You certainly deserve it given the work and attention to detail you've put in.
Alex B Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 😍 top work there Jonny! not quite sure if I’m more impressed by the car or that garage 😂
jonnyfox Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 Thank you fella's. Even in this state I write a long list, crack on get the jobs done then end up with another long list. I'm not sure how I've ended up with a non standard horn push when I took off a standard horn push so I have one of those on the way, crazy! The main beam flash is a little temperamental so a new stalk is on the way too. Keith gave a me radio blank and I'm having some blanks made for the speakers so no radio and I'm waiting to get an OE handbrake grip from being milled back as I want to see what it looks like on. Lol there's always something in the search for perfection, don't even get me started on the harnesses

jonnyfox Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks fella's. Still just doing the little thing right now with lots of help here and there from members of our great community.
jonnyfox Posted February 20, 2018 Author Posted February 20, 2018 As it stands I need to find an electrical gremlin but I've got a few little (some really quite tiny) things done.... Not shiny Shiny These had escaped my attention. No longer! Previous images shows the horn push as an outty, as it should be now an inny! Newly Allon White trimmed wheel is beautiful btw Main beam flash required a big old tug so that got replaced for a new one. Radio blank in (Thank you Keith ) so dash finished. Brand new oil cooler with XRP hose supplied by HPE and fittings replacing the second hand cooler with the blue hoses I'd previously fitted. Very handy cut away I had done prior to paint with a neatly cut piece of plastic velcro'd over it. I even kept the off cut in case someone, not me wants it back in All done and both wheel arch liners now fitted.
@ndy Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Green with envy every time you post more photos
Steve J Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Where did you get the wheel arch liners from? Original or copies?
jonnyfox Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Well I'm not 100% sure although they had what I believe was a Lotus stock sicker with part number stuck on them. Either way so far so good, they look exactly the same as what came off Steve. https://www.sjsportscars.com/home.htm
jonnyfox Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Little up date on the slow progress. Apart from being too bloody cold I had a dead short which played havoc with the immobiliser wiring. My bag John (JSR) massive thanks for finding the fault and working to fix it. Needless to say I have fitted a like for like replaceemt and alarm.
