Considering the weight and size, that’s very reasonable.  Exciting times!

  That’s a really big early Christmas present 😃😃 .  At first I thought it was some Halloween decorations.
  Seriously, You saved yourself a lot of work and less headaches down the road.

£400 shipping? Amazing. That would be the same for shipping to Ireland! Good luck with the build. It was really satisfying to start from a fresh chassis. Enjoy!

Congratulations! I think you scored a great frame! Spyder frames give you added access to stuff like that steering u-joint making taking the rack off a lot quicker and easier than the stock frame. You'll be glad you got it. It looks like you got stainless steel transfer tubes! Pretty slick!  :beerchug:

Definitely got the stainless steel coolant tubes. The original tubes were totally rusted, leaking everywhere.

Do any of you twink owners have the measurements for the location of the front air dam? When I saw it on the S2 Europa that is on the opening page of the Canadian Lotus club I loved it.

Looking for your help. As you know, my Spyder chassis has arrived. I unpacked the boxes and was unable to find the assembly instructions. Do any of you have pictures of an assembled chassis I can use?

The Spyder website has pictures from the rear and the front. Look here: http://www.spydercars.co.uk/category/spyder-products/spyder-lotus-europa-products/

If that doesn't help, post a picture of the parts your confused about.

Put my baby's body to bed today. Now have space to start assembling the chassis as time and temp allow. Also got my vanity plate for when she finally is roadworthy. Apologies to the music group "The Knack"

Hi Dave, The wheels are actual Minilites from England. Spyder Chassis sells them as part of the upgrade. They are 14 inch so that I can upgrade to discs all around with a twincam double reservoir master cylinder for safety.

Man, that snow will sure put a crimp in your restoration time line! Hopefully the weather will allow you to get something done before Spring!

I had to chuckle at your vanity plate. When I finally got mine on the road, I planned to have a vanity plate that said something like HANDMADE but it had been taken. So I went back to work and came up with a list of six or seven. When I went back the next day, all of them had been taken too! The cleverest thing I could come up with was MYLOTUS! Sheesh! Since then I got antique plates so it just has numbers.

Good luck with your build. I can't wait to see her go together!
