If I can get one of these cars to run I won't mind it at all

It took me a minute to see the two stowaways (aka live rats) in your trunk. Colin and Clive are cute. I hope they are resting in peace.

I didn't see them either! Much cuter wild life than is generally found in old Loti!

They had a brother that snuck in to the engine compartment of the truck I used to pull the car. I gave the truck back to my friend in the morning and when he pulled in to work one of his buddies said "I think there is something up with your engine". So they opened the hood and his friend exclaimed "There is something moving in there!!" My friend replied "Nah its probably just a bug". He revved the engine up and a rat shot 10' out from the hood. The fan cut its face off and slung it against the ground....

Oh! The humanity!!

You seem to attract those critters! It's good you have that cat!

Nice! I wonder where the rest of the family ended up?

Hopefully not in my new house!

Yesterday I got a good set of tires for her. I found the code on the back of another lock I have. I will try to pop this one off and see what is under there. Tons of rat shit left to vacuum away...

edit: one 55 gallon trashbag full of rat shit was sucked out of the front of it.

The serial number for the ECU is definitely that of a turbo Fuego. I doubt it is functional so I have nothing to lose by powering it up.... I did manage to break the ignition cylinder when I removed it from the steering column. The springs and contact plate exploded on the floor. Perhaps it can be rebuilt. I am going to pull the steering column soon and try for the key number in the lock cylinder. I got a good used set of tires on it and she rolls very nice and easy!!! I have to say the suspension looks pretty decent compared to my twin cam. One of the shocks is a little off, but nothing too bad.

The last pic is a scavenger hunt....what looks out of place???

Calipers look ok. I will change discs and pads soon. MC looks to be non standard. I will grab a pic of that soon. Pedals are seized up so those are coming out with the column. Now I need to make a set for this and the TC. Time to order some stainless...

The rusted Crecent wrench should face the other way & the alternator belt tensioning stick will definitely have to be replaced, I recommend hard Maple.

I pulled the column last week and had a locksmith make a key for it. I can steer her now! Probably going to widen the gate in the fence and make a Lotus hutch for the time being so that I can free up some garage space for the remodel. I may pull the pedals before I get her outside so that I can try and free them up.

Edit* Lol I just realized that I need to quit proclaiming things. My mighty ambitions always end up about half done months later when I make these grandiose claims!

2nd Edit* Thank god that white car is gone now....It is just as ugly in the pictures as it was in real life!

[BDA]

Steady progress on both the house front and the Lotus front! I'll bet all that's keeping you off the streets!

my corner is a little vacant lately...
