  Thanks to you all for your support and guidance.

A Special Thanks to Lou , Polly needed to come down.  I kept putting it off but you made me realize the items I need to finish can be finished with the body on.
 
  Now you’re all going to have to put up with me jumping around 😂😂

  Lol 😂
  It will go faster but not that fast . Waiting on a different intake and a Weber carb.  I can jump from job to job to keep things moving along . most of the parts are rebuilt already  .  Dragged out my harness board today, I cat believe I haven’t had time to get to it . I also  rearranged my garage so I can access both sides of the Europa.

Europa TC,
  I have air shocks in the ElCamino but they are full down.   More ELKY pics here . http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=2526.0

   I expect the Europa to drop down a little more as I add parts. Pushing it around is amazing, it’s lighter than my riding lawnmower 😂.  I think I’m catching on to the , “simplify, then add  lightness”
philosophy. WTS , Wow , how LIGHT.

Congratulations on another milestone. The best part of driving a Europa in my opinion is the steering, which is sublime. Push on!
