Greetings from sunny and hot Arizona,
I’ve just bought my first Lotus and will be seeking a lot of help as I get this wonderful girl back on the road.
The good…chassis, body, and interior look great. The brakes need to be rebuilt, and I’ll need to replace the rubber donuts for proper universal joints. Living in Arizona, the PO already purchased a larger radiator.
The bad…the engine has been completely dismantled. I purchased it from a fellow in Michigan, but he knows little about it’s history. It’s complete and looks to be in good condition.
So my first of many questions. Who is a reputable engine rebuilder for the twink in the southwest? I’d prefer local, but willing to travel if needed. Not looking for any major mods. Just a solid runner.
This Lotus will be joining her cousins from England, a 74 Jensen Healey (so I guess it’s not my first Lotus) and a 75 MG Midget.
thanks,
Barry
