That is mine. Still has the EZ-Pass attachment on the windshield...and the blackened (truck bed lined) wheel arches and lower sills.  Pretty sure it you looked under the boot and bonnet...the underside was done with bed liner, too.  Yeah, that's mine!

Gorgeous Europa.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Here's the shots I took for the advertisement when I went to sell her:

Maybe someday 3291R will look as nice...but one thing at a time.

Very tidy work, Bryan. That is a lovely Lotus.

here's a shot outside RD's barn a couple months after completion.  Still some buffing out to do, and hadn't coated the inside of the wheel wells with truck bed liner yet...but...IIRC, this was on Washington's Birthday 2009.
