Itd be neat if that new welding method for 7075 came out a couple years ago so we could start seeing it in cars by now. if it was ready to use in something like this chassis now imagine the weight difference without having to go full carbon.

This one still hurts me to this day. 1977 S1 Esprit, 1 of 8 orange ones in US, tartan interior with AC. I got as far as un-barn finding it(freeing up brakes, an intricate tow), cleaning 30 years of crud, polishing the gel coat, removing the turbo (guy wanted to make it a track car in the 80s, added turbo, lip, and…

One of these days i wanna join the ongoing quest to make an “s70/2" out of a bored/stroked s70/1 with s50 heads (one chopped and flipped) and test it.

After watching so much Top Gear, when i see Prius written some where, i pronounce it pry-us.

Do you want a free small box of e30 relays and small parts? was gonna throw it out, i may have a door handle or two still in there

“I think crossovers getting cancelled is my kink”

And boy do they have the money. Wanna guess what i payed in Japan for tolls last week for about 14 hours of highway driving 0r 1,100 miles-ish?

Still miss my $500 E30, one old owner, 5spd, houndstooth, cold AC, but had a coolant leak, turned out to just be a cracked reservoir hose. Sold it for 4500, one of those I-don’t-want-to-sell-it-but-i-will-for-the-right-price cars lol.

even if that totals up over 2k in work you could still turn a decent profit on it though, similar mileage and clean title are over 5k. Slamming deal

I’ve had a slight distaste for smaller sailboats lately and this isn’t helping.

Crazy how i bought one of those for $180 new like 2 years ago and i can still get all my money out, maybe profit, selling it now.

Where the HECK are my dang frickin pillarless window openings?!?!?

PAJERO ALL THE WAY

Is that color Band-Aid Beige or is it Hearing Aid Beige?

Price is 80,000 euros

thank you for proper gif, aka not spoiling it in thumbnail

In my S1 esprit i sold recently, the only big gripe i had was foot room. Well it had decent interior room but basically half the pedal area was taken by the front wheel well, which makes you feel uneasy lmao. Also wooden firewall, yes you heard that right, MADE OF WOOD.

Making me miss my orange S1 project (had S3 bits)

Yeah reminds me a lot of the chassis on my 1977 Esprit i sold recently, except the Lotus had a lot of tube frame near the back

If you weren’t so far away i’d offer to do the paint correction on that beaut! i’m dying to see that brown in it’s original glory!
