Re: Lotus Certificate of Provenance
Can't disagree - I thought the price was ridiculous for basically a copy of the build sheet and a few bits of cheap bling

Re: First job jobbed - 2 more found !!!
Fantastic job Tony :D Did the same with my bumpers and sills that had been painted silver :!: I was surprised how good a finish was possible with base and clear rattle cans but then mine is solid red so possibly easier. The key is patience. It's holding up really well after 6 months. I'm really impr...

Re: 1992 Excel SE in online auction
Reckon that's about right really - similar condition to mine; a rolling restoration.
That said, most Lotuses seem to be rolling restorations...

Re: Rear brake dust shields
Thanks Dave
Yes I just want to remove for repair to outer part - if repair not practical I will have to grind off outer section only as the centre holds the handbrake cable abutment as you say.
Fortunately centre part looks solid so fingers crossed...

Seems projects are £3000 plus now, anything with mot and evidence of recent use £5000 plus and minters £8000 plus. Add £2k for...

Re: Rear brake dust shields
Thanks both for your insights. Anthony - yes it appears just the outer part so I may get away with JB Weld or similar epoxy, but thanks for confirming hubs off job which is what I'd thought. They really need to come off the car to do a proper job. As Bash says though I'll remove them completely if t...

Rear brake dust shields
Hi all Some advice please... My rear brake dust shields look like the doilies my grandmother used to have on her tables and I suspect they would be an advisory at mot time. My question is it just caliper, disc and shoes off to remove them for repair or does the hub have to come off too? It's not cle...
