Lotus Europa Bastard from Germany
dakazman:
Welcome Ralf,
That was some crack to the front section to repair. We definitely have some die hard Europa fans here that share your enthusiasm.
Thanks for saving a part of history even with your upgrades.

Thanks for the welcome,
to weld the frame of my Seven I bought an old bench from CEVETTE for only €200.-. When the seven frame was finished I repaired the chassis of the Europa before I sold the bench again. With the bench you can make quiet acurate messurments on the chassis.
At the left front of the Europa chassis I needed replace some parts.

When the welding was finished I brought the chassis to leach (sorry for my english. I get 'leach' from the google translater I hope its right).
TurboFource:
That was a nice setup!!
ralf:
After leaching the chassis was powder coated in RAL 7046 which is similar, but by far not exactly, the colour of the old Lotus chassis.
But the colour 'old battleship grey' was not available for the powder coating. To make work at the finished chassis easy I bought a cheap lifting platform for motorbikes.
