1980 Mars Red GTI BRMotorsport 142

Just a few updates of my restoration progress.

Apologies for dust and current wheel choice.

Car will live about 3 inches closer to the ground when I wind the coilovers down on the wheels, now that I've finally finished restoring and rebuilding them.

Looking good!! or going original on this or modded?

Thanks.
Original body, trim and fittings, but coilovers and 'special' rims.

looking good mate..

Empty

You get around!!

got to stick together not many original series ones left… 8)

Thanks Gurv.

The Elan is not mine.

The wheels look mad, but I forgot my camera when test fitting them!

Too busy with getting the spacing just right, as I had to custom order the wheel bolts and wheel bolt adapters to convert to chamfered 'road use'.

please sir can i have your workshop to restore my car. i only wish i could have a place like that for working in.

Tried to update with a couple more pics, but oddly, it won't allow me!
I'll try again, when I'm not too tired.

fantastic looking Elan in the first pic, dont see many now 8)

sorry, yeah its looking well, i reckon it'd do well to stay standard, there are too many people going mad on them

i only say that cos i dont want to be the only person to keep theirs standard

Standard apart from wheels and stance.

A teaser of the wheels…



…and their strange adapters…

Wow, liking the rims 8)
