Lotus Europa TC chassis rebuild

[vito84]

Good morning guys,

after almost 2 years my Europa is ready to be rebuild after a chassis T failure. During these years we dismatled the car and start to rebuild the chassis like the original specs. We take all the measures, make the drawings and rebuild the parts we need.  Last week we welded the new T section on our chassis and Customer Europa chassis, so we gave new life to two Europa TC.
Here you can see some pictures.

Thank you

Vito

Nice work!

That's really ambitious and very impressive. Well done.

Very nicely done! I would suggest that you add extra access to things like the steering u-joint.

Ciao Vito....

Vito,
What is on the roof of the Europa?

It looks like a webasto vinyl sunroof to me https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274427590881

That is what I was wondering about.....

Slip up... ask Vito or Eduardo, after all it is Eduardo's car, and his story to tell.

PS Ianco engineering made a good job of my son's TC chassis shown in the pictures.

I would like to remove the Webasto sunroof. It isn't nice to see, the fiberglass roof weakens and at 120mhp on the highway the canvas swelled and ripped off....a complete disaster
