Part of the reason that progress got delayed was that I got tied up finishing school. The main reason is that I started to get in to little British cars.
I happened on a pair of basket cases and have been restoring one of them simultaneously with the truck. It is a Lotus Europa and the neat thing about these little cars besides that they are mid engined is that they weigh between 1300-1500 lbs depending on which one you run. The black one is a '72 model that got pulled out of the Gulf of Mexico and you can tell from the gas tanks! The green one is a '67 that is a very early production car. It is missing many of the modern comforts that we take for granted these days such as....adjustable seats and windows that roll down. The windows are actually plexi glass pop in pieces.
