You're talking about a platform that most of us have no experience with.. But best of luck for sure!!

 

My 1969 Lotus Europa S2 (Type 54 ) is completely disassembled and waiting for refurbishing/rebuilding (as funds permit).



The plans call for a custom square/round tube frame and a blown 20b.

Look at the Banks Type 62s tube frame for an idea of what it'll look like. Once completed the body'll prolly look like a cross between a Type 47 and a Type 62. Basically a Type 47 with big flares and aero considerations.



With about 600hp at the rears it should be pretty fun for a car that weighs 1500lbs stock. My plan is to absolutely positively not even START it until I'm sure it weighs under a maximum of 1800lbs dry and complete.



All in all it should take 1 or 2 years to complete the monster.....



....then like 10 to tame it!!!
