Kingster Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Washed the Lotus after a 1500 mile tour of Scotland. Sadly the roads were not too kind 😢 Winter respray and PPF to save up for. on the upside, was a great tour! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapped the cast iron one for a alloy bell housing, but had to cut the starter motor casing off as it clashes with the chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted June 30 Popular Post Share Posted June 30 Thanks to Sean for delivering the Devon and Somerset Area flag to me recently, good to finally have it available for events. It only had a spike with it and a rather large base which you fill with water, so I thought I would make something more compact from bits and bobs I had around the garage, but mainly some aluminium tube from a broken camping chair, some threaded rod and a couple of blocks of wood. (EDIT aswell as the bit from the spike that the flag mounts on). After a couple of false starts, this one works well, just needs a sand down and a coat or two of paint. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's interested that Meguiars worked a treat, got rid of the minor swirls and not too aggressive. Helps its only half a car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
