I know this is not going to be an easy repair. Not looking forward to take that many steps back. Looked so good with the door finally on. Defiantly not going to meet my self imposed August certification. Oldest granddaughter Taylor in picture. Zen and the art of Lotus repair.

Very stylish!

It's time to install gas struts! You'll never be sorry.

Gas struts are on my wish list. After I fix the oil leaking rocker cover and replace the engine temp, oil pressure and fuel gauges.

Canadian engine cover prop.

Given the Europa's tendency to leave one up a certain creek, one should never be without a paddle.  ;D

Yipee!

I did 130kph/80mph with my doors off.  Surprisingly calm in the cabin.

Another milestone passed. My Europa was certified on the weekend and is now registered and plated. 5 mile test drive today. She tracks straight and did 120 kph. before I chickened out. Still getting used to clutch and shift pattern. I think I will still be smiling in my sleep tonight. A big thank you for all the help and encouragement you forum members have given.
