#460002 - Restoration
Serge:
Hi Stefan,
my car will take some time to complete, at least another year, maybe even longer. My ultimate deadline is 2017 (when the car is 50 years old).
I will be using the 821 engine so I can get homologated as a GT car in period G2 for appendix K. I have another 697 engine, but this isn't the original engine (it was replaced by a 697-01 engine from a renault 16 TL). I will probably use the 697 engine to make this engin to original spec, so I have an original spec engine with the car, should I want to change from the racing engine.
Kind regards,
Serge
PS: I have at least 2 video / blog updates coming in the next couple of weeks.
Serge:
Hi everyone,
I have another video for you, however there isn't much Lotus content, but there is quite a lot of footage of the manufacturer-stores in Paris and of the Rétromobile Classic Car Show in Paris (One of the bigger shows in Europe, and the first event of the new classic car season).
I am currently editing three other videos, so expect to get some more Europa-oriented updates very soon.
I hope this video bridges the gap.

I've been able to upload some pictures of my repairs to the rear crossbar and some of the modifications that I made to the rear Y-section of the chassis. There will also be a video about these repairs, but that will take another few days before I can get that online.
Meanwhile you can read all about it right here:

Finally I've found some time to edit the video of the repairs above. I had already edited the next video, so I'll upload that in a couple of days.
I hope you'll enjoy it:

Serge, Maybe I'm having some difficulty on my end but it seems you latest video is only about 1 minute long, and ends while you explaining the cross member modifications. :confused: But what I'm really interested in, is where can I get the t-shirt your wearing? Very cool.
