After much tweaking, the cooling system is back together and the car is running. It was a huge relief to drive the car and find my clutch judder had completely disappeared.
Another small job was to replace the windscreen rubber insert. It is a bright trim, but after 10+ years in the Australian sun it had turned into a nasty dull trim!
In other news I was driving to my shed the other day and what did I see on the side of the road? A Lotus Eleven! I had to stop and take photos.
As it turns out the car was an original kit that had been passed on for the last 60 years and never built. Finally it has been assembled to its original intended S1 "Club" Spec with drum brakes and live rear. It was simply gorgeous!
