Looks great, hope it's coming home soon.
I'm waiting for some parts for the head on engine so I can get it back together and in the car?

Had my local upholstery shop make me new sun visors. The OEM versions desinegrated and this is what they came up with to replace. Not exactly OEM but the will work nicely.

The visors look great! I agree with Ted, they're nicer than stock.

Stopped by Dave’s shop today. My Europa should be done in a couple of weeks. The battery tray is being fiberglassed and we discussed the black paint color for the engine bay and underside of the engine cover. All coming together very nicely. Dave does very nice work.

I had an original and very rare to find paint chip color chart of the original Lotus colors. The yellow match was spot on!
