Discussion Thread - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/38411-rookie-daves-lie-too-us-seven/ Anyway, for ages now I have had very little motivation for this car, so I thought putting the build thread up here might help/ give you guys something else to give me shit about. Most of this will just be a port from http://www.lotus7.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=136 A brief history: After selling my last project in February I was looking for something to replace it, a quick search of trademe saw me contemplating a 7 replica, I had always liked the lotus 7 replica and it seemed the right time to do it. So after ringing and finding out the state of the car and what parts came with it, an exchange of money was made the chassis and parts were dropped off at the Auckland depot of the transport company I work for. 2 days later it was sitting in the garage. It was all wrapped up so it was kind of like an early/late Christmas present. Unwrapping it led to the discovery of the massive hoard of parts that came with it (from what I can tell so far it is only missing a headlight haha) anyway with uni looming very little was done, but a couple of Saturdays lead to the discovery that the rusty escort lump that was sitting in the engine bay actually turned out to be a brand spanking full race 1760 crossflow, with countless hours spent on the head and nothing being left untouched, SCORE! The next few months progress was slow with it becoming rolling and organizing a few bits and pieces that needed to be done. Update: The engine built up My mate Robbie acknowledging the awesomeness that is the Kent How the car was before we started OPPS! It fell over haha More updates tomorrow night when we put the floor on (would have been tonight but some dipstick didn’t buy the right sized rivets DOH!) Cheers Dave
