Knew you would never finish it. Took too much on for a first project.

| There has been restos for 4K on the eBay so you could use that as a guide but it all depends on how much someone wants it |

Biggest problem was taking my foot off the gas doing a website project last year.
The sad thing is (and this is where my doubts come in) is it's probably got 2 or three weeks of work before it could go to paint.
Problem is, I've just moved house and don;t have £2k to paint it.
I think the hard work is done.

It's a shame you can't finish it, you've done an unreal amount of work. The car will be as new when welded together and painted.

It sold - although not collected yet.
Chap seems like the right sort of chap - he took a dark green GTE to Billing this year if anyone can remember.

Nice guy if it is the owner of the Lotus Carlton colour green one with a turbo engine in it, spoke with him at a show recently and like myself he has been in to MK1's for well over 20 years
Good luck with what ever you do next but sometimes you just have to admit defeat as everyone's lifestyle and available free time can differ greatly |
