Locost ''Eleanor'' Rebuild

[ChrisL]

Saw the video last night and I'm truly stunned not just by the inspired colour scheme but the quality of the work. Really really impressed.
Agree with Steve I like the aero screen in black, the contrast works and adds to the transition for the roll cage

Great work, you must be cock-a-hoop

Edit to say hopefully in the not too distant future I get too see it in the flesh...

Well done it looks great. I’m sure your really proud of it. I would leave the aeroscreen black as I think it looks good like that. It is missing one thing though……… some mud splattered all over it from a run

Have to make sure it a dry run when it comes in case the rain washes my paint off.
There are a little bits of the car I could have done better with but it would take forever to complete.

If anyone’s fancies it here is a 10 min talk over review of what’s been done to the car.
Very hard to get the words to correlate with the pics but following either tells a story.
Few pics of others people cars as well.

Day off today to get my leave taken by end of year, so after a nice lie in managed a 3hr sort out of the garages ( little bit cleaner ), then mounted the items powder coated the other day, that being brackets for the rear view mirror, water pie supports, bracket to hold accelerator cables correctly and fitted the recoloured trim that go round the bonnet vents, inlet and exhaust. Think they do look better black rather than yellow.
Finished off with fitting the completed steering column shrould.

Great walk through rich, enjoyed the build you’ve achieved mate, looking forward to seeing it soon in the metal

[locost220]

Managed a few hrs again today, including loctiting all the rollcage nuts and bolts, fixing caps over all the accessible sus nuts so bolts.
Refitted the prop catcher that I strongly recommend all should have.
Fitted the tunnel top and new 12 volt outlet unit.
Fitted the drivers seat for proper and nose cone go pro mount to capture all the great footage
