Ted, it's amazing what a little lipstick and nail polish will do for an old gal...!!! She looks ready for a date!

FINAL UPDATE:
I sold the car earlier this year.  I forgot to officially close this thread with the news.
I never got to finish the hydraulics (brakes), so never actually road driven the car.
It went to a buyer in Florida.   Not sure if he is a member of this forum or not.   Sounded like a life-long dream of his to have a JPS, so I felt certain the car is in good hands and going to be completely restored to roadworthy condition once again.   This car deserved to be finished and driven.
Thanks for following.   onto the next Lotus project!

is that a challenge Lou?    I just might take you up on that! :) ;)
I was just counting the other day.   I've had 40 Lotus cars over the years!   That's a lot of Lotus.    I just can't get enough...
