Welcome to my Lotus 7 Replica Blog

I intend to use this blog to show the various stages as I rebuild an old Lotus 7 replica from a bit of a mess to something respectable.


Along the way i'll detail the procedures required and hopefully inspire others to do similar.

New Wheels

Just bought some new 15" alloys for the Seven.
They will look really nice on the car, I will pick them up next weekend.
Here's a pic of them pre-install:

New Gearknob

Not a big update.
Have bought a nice weighted D1 black chrome gearknob.
Such a little item has made the car feel so much nicer, the weighting has given the gearshift a massive change in feel and slickness over the old plastic Toyota knob.
Coupled with the rebuilt steering rack, its a lot more enjoyable to chuck around!
