Here are some of the restorations that I've done or that are in progress.
While I try to stay with Lotuses, I couldn't pass on this 356.
Porsche 356 1600 coupe - 1963 -SOLD
These are the finished pics
Black with red interior. I was surprised by the condition. It hasn't been driven for years and has been in a barn/garage for 10 years. The whole fuel system was varnished. I just went down the system component by component. Took the paint to bare metal, repaired very minor rust on doors. Primer and repainted with 5 coats of black urethane.

Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special w/5speed- 1973 -Sold-
I brought this '73 close to the original specs. I rebuilt the engine, refurbished the interior, installed a 5 speed and found original wheels, new tires, and re did the electrics. The new owner invited me to LA to drive the car. It was a total blast in the canyons. I will post a video, with me trying to stay up with his Corvette.

This one I plan on keeping. It will be the ultimate Europa that will be
extremely reliable and very fast. But very stock looking from the outside.
Estimated HP of 300-400 will go thru a Subaru transaxle. The custom suspension
will be utilizing Miata components. Est completed 7/06 The car
is now in full primer and will be painted in the spring. Need to add new
pics....
