  I pulled a lower back muscle and haven’t been doing much in my garage. The point is the bombshell look is still there.  After doing days of paperwork I’m off to the dmv to register 3 of my car antiques and get some plates to drive them once I clean them off. 😂

  Good one Kendo,
The pink was terrible. 🤣.
  Then my other daughter sent me this car she thinks I would like.
 About 1 hour drive away .

A quick look on BaT showed a nice looking running example for $15,500. That one is too much of a mystery for $15,000 IMHO. You shouldn't be tempted! You have a Lotus to finish. FOCUS!!

  BDA,
  I don’t have room at my house or theirs. 
 Hopefully today I’ll get back into the garage.

Good! Lack of space is a motivation killer for such a distraction that's as good as any!  :)

  All most finished putting together my granddaughters electric scooter.  I transformed it from a putrid pink to a bright blue beauty. I may have gotten carried away a bit but I know I’ll be working on it in the future.
  It has a sequence to assemble or else your going to do the job again.

  Turbo, The blue is definitely an improvement 😁
  Now just adding the batteries and the handlebar covers and console gauges, bleed brakes .
 
   One setback is the seat lock retention spring clip, I’ll have to fabricate it out of some spring steel sheet. The normal lock clips were to large.
