What does your Europa look like *today* ?

(1/87) > >>

EuropaTC:
Hi folks,

Now this is a shameless copy of a thread which has been running on Lotuselan.net for a while now, and I was wondering if it would work here as well. The idea is to post what's happening today with your car and it doesn't matter what state it's in,  broken, being patched together, missing the engine or parked up by some nice scenery while you take in the views. 

As a starter, here's our car at 9:30am this morning. The sun was shining and I suddenly realised I hadn't road tested the new spark plug connectors I fitted at the week end.....  >:D

My Europa is on jackstands in the garage for 2 reasons:

1. Rear brakes was making a creeking noise wen coming to a full stop, and I suspected the shoes to be at their end. But they had plenty of liners so instead I cleaned and adjusted the brakes properly and am now ready for driving again. Would be nice if they were noise free now... :)

2. I've been driving 2 weeks with my internal 5th gear detent prototype and took it out for inspection. It works fine but will need a few small modifications to work even better.  8)

Note to self: Tighten the wheels completely after lowering but BEFORE driving the car. :o
