  1. Has anyone removed the interior beezles (I.e. Around the gauges, vent, door pulls) on a gen 2. I have cracked the nut on the door pulls and the outer most vents. To have to take the whole pod off and slide them out the back. Good thing brandy wasn't home to see the whole side of the dashboard off. So now I am looking at the center vents and speedo. Anyone have a trick so I don't take the rest on the dashboard apart. Thanks all.

  2. 60? As in miles per hour! Is this cannonball run? Is the beltway downhill the whole way? I may have to drift with Watson so we can have 80 hp between us. :laugh:

     

     

    80hp is generous, mine came from the factory with 36hp and a few have likely fallen out along the way.

     

    We can cruise at our own pace.

  3. On my calander as well. I can't confirm due to work but I would like to go. Although you guys will probably lap me a few times. :motor:

     

    We classics bring up the rear in our own group (4 of us last year) as long as you can run 55 to 60 you will keep up no problem.

  4. Wow, that came out great!

     

    Thanks, it is a bit of a monet. When standing back it looks great, but if you get up to it you see the inperfections. If I decide to keep it I will redo in paint which sure sharpen the lines.

     

    So when are we PDing a union jack on the Lotus:laugh:

  5. That should be cool. I got a little heavy handed with the exacto and made a few scratches on the golf so be careful.

     

    I have been considering a full dip JCW style black with a red roof.

     

    I have always liked that color combo. Thanks for the heads up on the exacto, it took a line or two to get the pressure right. I am happy with the way it turned out for a first try. I got a little bleeding on a few tape lines, the humidity in the garage apparently made the tape not bond fully in places.

    Here is the gallery of the process for those interested
